Zero-Touch Provisioning and Ongoing Management
Most customers use the XMS AP management system for the initial setup and continuing management of
Cambium Xirrus APs. XMS users set up new APs for zero-touch provisioning via the platforms below. Wait ten
minutes after powering up the AP to automatically discover and upgrade it, then use XMS to view and manage it.
XMS-Cloud—performs zero-touch provisioning. Your new APs appear in XMS even before you receive your
equipment. When the email arrives with your login information, use XMS-Cloud to specify the initial settings
for your APs. A Guided Tour will walk you through the basic steps of creating a profile containing
configuration settings, including creating SSIDs and firewall/application control rules. Once the installed AP
has Internet connectivity, it will automatically contact Cambium Networks for cloud-based zero-touch
provisioning per your settings, install the latest applicable license, and upgrade the AP to the latest software
version as appropriate.
XMS-Enterprise—detects and provisions new Cambium Xirrus devices deployed in your network. Create and
configure a default profile for newly added APs, then set up discovery for the APs’ subnetwork. New devices
will automatically receive the configuration defined in the default profile.
If you are not using XMS, see the
Wireless Access Point User's Guide
to configure APs manually. The User’s Guide is
available from
.
Using the Reset Button
The reset button returns the AP to factory default settings while rebooting. It is
located on the bottom of the AP, just above the serial number/bar code. Use the
reset button as follows:
Unplug the cable from the
GIG1/POE
port.
Press the reset button all the way (there should be a faint click) and hold it.
Plug the cable back in and continue to keep the button pressed for 10 seconds.
This triggers the factory default reset during the boot process.
