AP SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
1
Physical Installation
The XAP-810 access point is designed for simple and efficient installation and
can be located one of three ways. First, the included mount is designed to
attach directly to several different regions’ standard electrical boxes. Second,
the XAP-810 may be mounted on a ceiling or wall without a box by using the
included mount as a guide to mark attachment locations. Finally, the XAP-810
can be placed on a flat surface by attaching the included rubber feet
to the mount.
c
Caution:
Attach the rubber feet to the mount and attach the mount to
the AP for flat surface placement to avoid overheating and failure.

Single Access Point Placement:
Because the signal generated by the
XAP-810 is omnidirectional, the unit should be located as near as possible to
the center of the desired coverage area.

Multiple Access Point Placement:
You may need to experiment with
AP placement to optimize the roaming experience. Place APs to ensure
adequate coverage, but not so far apart that there is no signal overlap.
Adjacent 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. 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. To learn more about AP placement, visit

Connecting Ethernet and Power
Ethernet and Power
To apply power and network simultaneously, simply connect one end of an
Ethernet cable to a PoE switch, and the other end to the XAP-810 PoE port.
To connect power and Ethernet separately, first connect an Ethernet cable
from the supplied PoE Injector
Data & PWR Out
port to the PoE port on
the XAP-810. An Ethernet cable length of up to 300 feet can be used.
