BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION
X
Access Point Firmware:
If you are using APs other than those included in
this kit, ensure that firmware is v5 or newer. Visit the AP Firmware upgrade
page at
luxul.com/ap-upgrade
for details
.
X
Controller Setup Sequence:
Be sure to set up the XWC-1000 Wireless
Controller BEFORE powering up the APs. Once logged into the Wireless
Controller, the Setup Wizard will prompt you when it is time to add the APs
to the network. A DHCP server is required on the network.
X
Accessibility:
Once an AP is managed by the XWC-1000 Wireless Controller,
AP web interface functionality is reduced. To change an AP from Controller-
managed to standalone (or the reverse), restore the AP to Factory Default.
X
Firmware Updates:
The XWC-1000 Wireless Controller automatically
checks for firmware updates of Controller-compatible APs and the Wireless
Controller itself, but requires Internet access to do so. The Controller will
operate without the Internet access, but firmware updates will be unavailable.
1
Physical Installation
The XWC-1000 and XAP-810 access points are designed for simple and efficient
installation and setup. The XAP-810’s can be mounted on the ceiling, wall or
placed on a desktop or shelf, while the XWC-1000 can be rack-mounted or
placed on a horizontal surface.
c
Caution:
Attach the rubber feet to the AP mount and attach
the mount to the AP for flat surface placement to avoid
overheating and failure.
X
Connecting Devices:
The XWC-1000 Wireless Controller simply connects
to the network. The XAP-810 APs connect to the network via the included
PoE Injectors or a 802.3at compliant PoE switch (see diagram on next page).

Access Point Placement:
Place APs to ensure adequate coverage, but not
so far apart that there is no signal overlap. You may have to experiment
with AP placement to optimize the roaming experience. The APs should
overlap enough that the client device has a good connection to the AP
to which it is currently attached, but also sees the next-nearest AP.

AP
Ideally, roaming clients
should see signal strength
of two overlapping APs in
the range of -60 to -70
dBm at the midway point
between two APs.
