Quick Installation Guide
XH2-240 Hardened Wireless Access Point
The XH2-240 (Model XH2240) provides two 4x4 802.11ac
Wave 2 radios in a hardened case for installation outdoors
and in other harsh environments. Radio 1 is dual-band (2.4
GHz and 5GHz), and Radio 2 is 5GHz only. This guide
describes how to install the XH2-240 on a pole or wall and
execute the initial power up of the AP. The pole or wall can
be a structure that is at ground level or on a roof. The XH2 is
not compatible with other Riverbed mounting options.
This document is intended ONLY for XH2-240 APs. For other models please see the installation
guide for that model.
