Installing the Wireless Array
Once you have determined the best location for your Wireless Array, you must
run cables to the location for the following services:
Power
No separate power cable is required to the Array—Xirrus wireless Arrays
and APs use PoGE (Power over Gigabit Ethernet). See the
Quick
Installation Guide
for your Array/AP model for compatible power
injectors or switches.
The total of all Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable segments from the Gigabit Ethernet
switch to the power injector and then to an Array PoGE port must be less
than 100m long. The Array must be connected to PoGE networks without
routing cabling to the outside plant, to ensure that cabling is not exposed
to lightning strikes or possible high voltage crossover.
Network
Arrays and APs all have at least one PoGE port to supply power and data
over the same cable. Many models have additional gigabit ports, or even
additional PoGE ports. Please see the
Quick Installation Guide
for your
Array/AP model for detailed information about running cables to the
Array and connecting it.
Some models also have a serial (console) port. The Serial cable may be up
to 25 feet long per the RS-232 specification.
When the unit’s IP address is unknown or a network connection has not
been established, the serial cable is used for connecting directly with the
Command Line Interface (CLI) via HyperTerminal. When a network
connection is established, the Array can be managed from any of the
available network connections, either Gigabit 1 or Gigabit 2.
For models with no console port, such as theXRR-500,XRR-1000, and
someXRR-2000 models, theXirrus Xircon utility may be used locally to set
up an IP address if necessary.
