Frequently Asked Questions - XAP-1510 Luxul

How do I set up the XAP-1510 for the first time?

Connect the AP to your network via Ethernet and power using the included PoE injector. Ensure your computer is on the same subnet (192.168.0.x), then open a browser and go to 192.168.0.10. Log in with admin/admin and follow the setup wizard.

What is the default IP address and login credentials?

Default IP address is 192.168.0.10. Default username is admin and password is admin.

Can I use the XAP-1510 without a PoE switch?

Yes, the package includes a PoE injector that supplies power and data over a single Ethernet cable. Connect the injector to an AC outlet and to the AP's PoE port.

How do I reset the XAP-1510 to factory defaults?

Locate the reset button under the mount. With the AP powered on, press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds, then release. The AP will reboot with factory settings.

Is the XAP-1510 compatible with a wireless controller?

Yes, it is compatible with the Luxul Wireless Controller for centralized management and fast deployment of multiple APs.

What wireless bands does the XAP-1510 support?

It supports dual-band operation: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, with speeds up to 1900 Mbps aggregate.

Can I mount the XAP-1510 on a wall or ceiling?

Yes, it can be mounted on a wall or ceiling using the included mounting brackets. It can also be placed on a desk using the included rubber feet.

What should I do if I forget the admin password?

Perform a factory reset by holding the reset button for 10 seconds. This will restore the default password admin.

How can I check if the AP is powered on?

The green Power LED on the AP should be solid. If it is off, check the PoE injector or power source. The PWR LED on the injector should be lit.

What is the coverage range of the XAP-1510?

The coverage area depends on environment, but it is designed for high power output. For optimal roaming, place APs so that signal overlap at the halfway point is between -60 and -80 dBm.

READ ME FIRST - CONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY

This XAP-1510 is compatible with the Luxul Wireless Controller for fast, configuration and deployment of wireless networks with multiple APs.

√ Note: If you'll be using this AP with a Wireless Controller, refer to the Quick Install Guide included with the Wireless Controller for setup instructions.

AP SETUP AND CONFIGURATION

Physical Installation

The XAP-1510 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-1510 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-1510 can be placed on a fl at surface by attaching the included rubber feet to the mount.

Caution: Attach the rubber feet to the mount and attach the mount to the AP for fl at surface placement to avoid overheating and failure.

Single Access Point Placement: Because the signal generated by the XAP-1500 is omnidirectional, the unit should be located as near as possible to the center of the desired coverage area.

XAP-1510 Single AP Coverage Pattern

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.

AP SETUP AND CONFIGURATION CONT.

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-1510 PoE port. To connect power and Ethernet separately, fi rst connect an Ethernet cable from the supplied PoE Injector Data & PWR Out port to the PoE port on the XAP-1510. An Ethernet cable length of up to 300 feet can be used.

Next, connect an Ethernet cable from your Router or Switch to the Data IN port on the PoE Injector. Finally, connect the AC cord to the included PoE Injector, then to the AC outlet.

√ Note: Category-6 shielded twisted pair is recommended for best

results and stable data transmission at the highest data rates.

However, CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 UTP cable can also be used.

PoE Injector Setup

Data In: Connect an Ethernet cable from your router or switch to the

Data In port of the included PoE Injector

Data & PWR Out: Connect an Ethernet cable from the Data & PWR Out

port of the included PoE Injector to the PoE Port of the XAP-1510

▶AC Power: Connect the included AC Cord to the Power Input of the

Included Injector first and then to the AC outlet.

Preparing for Access

IP Addressing

If the XAP-1510 is connected to a network with a 192.168.0.X address scheme, and your computer shares a similar address on the same network, you can skip to the next step, Access and Setup

√ Note: If another device on your network shares the 192.168.0.10 address, you'll need to temporarily reassign or remove that device while you configure the XAP-1510.

If your network uses an address scheme other than 192.168.0.X, you'll need to set a temporary static IP address on the computer you're using for configuration. To do so, set the IP address of your computer to an address in the 192.168.0.X range, then set the Gateway/Router address to 192.168.0.10 (the default IP address of the XAP-1510).

Once you're finished configuring the AP, you can return your computer's IP configuration to normal, typically "Obtain Automatically/DHCP."

√ Note: Visit http://luxul.com/ip-addressing to learn more about changing your computer's IP address and getting connected.

Access and Setup

Getting Connected

Connecting Via an Ethernet Device: Use Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the PoE switch or PoE injector to which the XAP-1510 is connected. Ethernet is the preferred method of connection. Connecting Via a Wireless Device: Connect your client device to the XAP-1510 default wireless network named Luxul1510. The wireless network will run in Open Security mode, so no passphrase is required until Wireless Security is configured.

Logging In

To access the AP's web configuration, open your web browser and enter the AP's default 192.168.0.10 IP address in the address fi eld. Log in to the AP using the default user name and password:

Default IP: 192.168.0.10

Username: admin

Password: admin

√ Note: If another device on your network shares the 192.168.0.10 address, you'll need to temporarily reassign or remove that device while you configure the XAP-1510.

√ Note: The XAP-1510 is not a router and will need to be connected to a network with a router in order to deliver Internet access.

Hardware Operation

LED Indicators

Enclosure: If the green Power LED is on, the XAP-1510 is powered and working. If the Power LED is OFF, the AP is not receiving power or the LED has been turned off in the AP's web interface. If the green Power LED is blinking, the XAP-1510 is booting. The two blue LEDs indicate indicate each of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks are configured and broadcasting.

XAP-1510 LED's

PoE Injector: If the PWR LED is On, Power is Connected to the injector. If the PWR LED is Off, the injector is not receiving power.

Reset Button

The Reset button is located underneath the mount and marked RESET. It may be used to reboot the AP or to re factory default settings.

Reboot the AP: With the XAP-1510 powered on, simply press and release the Reset button.

Restore Factory Defaults: With the XAP-1510 powered on, press and hold the Reset button for 10 seconds, then release the button and the XAP-1500 will restore factory defaults and

CAUTION: Holding the Reset button for more than a few seconds will restore the AP to factory default and remove any custom configuration.
