Quick Installation Guide
For XD2-240 and XD4-240 Models
XD2-240 (XD2240) and XD4-240 (XD4240) High Density Access Points (APs) are zero
touch APs within the Cambium Xirrus wireless portfolio. With four directional 802.11ac
4x4 Wave 2 radios on the XD4-240 and two on the XD2-240, a powerful integrated
controller, application-level intelligence, automated provisioning, and optional cloud
management, the APs deliver robust wireless connectivity in areas of medium to high
user density.
This guide covers the steps for installing and starting the AP. For detailed configuration information, see the
User’s Guide or online help for the Cambium Xirrus XMS management system for APs, or the

You Need the Following Items
Power and Ethernet connection(s) to your wired network using Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables. The AP has two
Ethernet ports:
GIG1/PoE
—
This port powers the AP via Power over Ethernet (PoE) using a Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable that also
carries data traffic. See below for Power details. This is a 1 Gigabit port on the XD2-240. On the XD4-240,
this is a 2.5 Gb port whose rate is set only by auto-negotiation with the switch.
(Optional)
GIG2
—
Connection to this second, data-only one-gigabit port provides additional throughput.
Use Cat 5E or Cat 6 cable.
AP must be connected to PoE networks without routing cabling to the outside plant. This ensures that cabling is
not exposed to lightning strikes or possible crossover from high voltage lines. AP, PoE Injectors, or Switches must
be installed and used indoors. The total Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable length from the switch to the AP must be no more
than 100 m, including all cable segments.
Power— See the matrix below to select a compatible PoE switch or injector for your AP. If using an injector,
you must provide a data connection from the switch to the injector as well as another cable from the injector's
OUT port to the AP’s GIGABIT1/PoE port. PoE injectors require an AC outlet.
Apply power to GIG1/POE port only—other AP Gigabit ports will not draw power if connected to a
powered switch port, and AP LEDs will not light.
