XD2-230 Two-Radio Access Points
2
Access to a Web browser to configure the AP via the Xirrus Management System or directly via the AP’s
Windows Management Interface (WMI).
For a suspended ceiling mount, you need a 7/16” nut driver to attach the mounting plate to the T-Bar clips.
(See “Install Mounting Hardware” on page 3.) Do not use old T-Bar clips or studs from XN or XS APs with the
X2 and XD2 Series—they will damage the AP case.
NOTE: Leave protective plastic film on the AP until installation is complete to avoid leaving marks on the AP.
Mounting Options
Direct Ceiling Mount—for a more secure mount, use the furnished
mounting plate with at least two user-supplied screws. Or you may mount
directly to the ceiling with two user-supplied screws (we recommend max
screw size #8, Pan Head type). In either case, you must use screws that are
appropriate for the ceiling construction material.
Suspended Ceiling Grid Mount—See photos at right and on
Page 3
. Use the
mounting plate with the two supplied T-Bar clips (for 15/16” ceiling grid).
For a slotted ceiling grid, T-slot bolts are available for attaching the
mounting plate to slots in the grid.
Wall Mount—use a Wall Mount Accessory Kit (XE-500-WALL), which
contains a mounting plate, wall mount bracket, and three screws (1/4”
Plastite).
Choose a Suitable Location
Choose an indoor location that is central to your users, that is away from heat sources. To ensure good air flow,
it is essential that the AP’s vents are not blocked.
The AP should be installed parallel to the ground (i.e., in a horizontal position, not tilted on its side). The AP
should not be more than 30 feet (9m) above the ground (or the level at which receiving devices will be used).
For atypical installations, please verify the resulting signal coverage.
The location must be capable of supporting the weight of the AP and the mounting bracket (about 2 lb total).
For optimal placement, we recommend that a predictive survey be performed by a qualified Xirrus partner.
Maintain a distance of at least 50 feet (15m) between additional APs.
Keep the unit away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise—at least 3 to 6 ft (1m - 2m).
