Quick Installation Guide

 

 

For XR-1000 Models

 

This  Guide  covers  the  steps  required  to  install  the 
Xirrus XR-1000 Series Wireless Array on a T-bar ceiling 
grid  and  execute  the  initial  power  up  of  the  Array.  If 
installing  the  Array  with  a  different  type  of  Xirrus 
mounting,  refer  to  the  specific 

Quick  Installation  Guide 

for that mounting kit. 

 

For additional information, see the 

Wireless Array User’s Guide

 

This document is intended only for XR-1000 Series Arrays. It does not include the XR-1000H 
Series. For other XR models, please see the appropriate Quick Installation Guide.

You Need the Following Items

 

 

Accessory Kit (included in each Wireless Array carton), containing four ceiling mount clip 
sets. 

 

Workstation with a Web browser to configure the Wireless Array. 

 

Flat screwdriver and 7/16” nut driver for attaching the T-bar clips to the ceiling grid. 

 

Knife for cutting an access hole in the ceiling tile. 

 

Copper Ethernet connection(s) to your wired network. 

 

Power—XR-1000  Arrays  are  powered  via  Power  over  Gigabit  Ethernet  (PoGE)  using  an 
Ethernet  Cat  5e  or  Cat  6  cable  that  also  carries  data  traffic.  You  must  provide  a  network 
connection  and  Ethernet  cable  run  from  an  injector  port  for  the  Array  Gigabit  port.  The 
PoGE module requires an AC outlet. A splitter is incorporated in the Array. Use 

only 

Xirrus- 

supplied PoGE injectors. See the 

PoGE Installation Guide 

for more information. 

XR-1000 Arrays are powered by one injector port rated at 33W or higher. 

The Array must be connected to PoGE 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.
