Welcome to Custom Integration Solutions
Thank you for purchasing CIS devices. Our solutions make it easy for integrators to deploy networks in
home and business settings with minimal configuration. Our support team is here to assist with setting up
equipment and answering your network related questions.
Overview
CIS wireless access points provide a compact and powerful solution for your home and commercial
connectivity needs. The CIS WAPXL provides the power of our ACWAP with increased range. Link it to the
Wi-Fi manager and control it with your CIS router, just like our other access points.
Package Contents
AP PoE Injector DC Adapter Mounting Ceiling Plate Screw Kit Metal Strap
Bracket
Power
The WAPXL is powered via PoE through a PoE capable router or switch, or via the included PoE injector.
The PoE input on Ether1 accepts 24V passive PoE, or 48V 802.3af/at (PoE and PoE+).
•Ether2 supports PoE passthrough (passive PoE only, up to 57V), so you can link multiple PoE
devices together.
The maximum power consumption of the device is 24W with attachments, and 11W without.
Indoor use only
The CIS-WAPXL is designed for indoor use only. Avoid installing the CIS-WAPXL in wet or damp areas.

Mounting Options
The CIS-WAPXL has multiple mounting options for walls, ceilings, and low-voltage mounting brackets.
Wall Mount
1. Drill two 4.5-5mm holes.
2. Insert the plastic anchors.
3. Place the mount on the wall.
4. Secure the mount with screws.
1. Plug the Ethernet cable into Ether1.
2. Move the access point into position.
Slide the access point down until it snaps into place.

7
Ceiling Mount
1. Drill two 4.5-5mm holes for the screws.
2. Drill a hole for the ethernet cable.
3. Attach the metal plate on the other side of
the ceiling panel.
4. Align the access point mount with the screw
holes.
5. Use the screws to tighten the mount to the
plate.
1. Thread the ethernet cable through the hole
in the metal plate.
2. Insert the ethernet cable to Ether1 of the
access point.
3. Position the access point ahead of the
mount.
Slide the access point towards the mount until it snaps into place.

8
Low Voltage Mounting Brackets
Attach the metal strip to the low voltage gang
box using the included screws.
Attach the mounting bracket to the metal strip
using the flathead screws.
Connect the ethernet cable to Ether1 of the access
point.
Slide the access point onto the mount until it
snaps into place.

9
Quick Setup
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from your router to Ether1 on the access point. If your router supports
PoE, turn it on to power the device. If not, use the included PoE injector.
2. (Optional) Connect an additional access point or device to Ether2. The port is bridged, meaning it
acts like a switch port. If the connected device supports passive PoE, it will be passed through to
it.
3. The access point will receive an IP address via DHCP. Access the DHCP leases on your router page
to find the IP address of the access point, then enter the IP address in a web browser to view the
configuration (next page).

10
Accessing the Web Interface
1. Connect your laptop or PC to the router.
2. Obtain the IP address of your access points. If you’re using a CIS router, access the web
configuration by typing 10.100.1.1 in a web browser (10.100.1.1 is the default, but some systems
may be different). Once logged in with the default credentials of cis and integration as the
password, select IP > DHCP Server and view the Leases tab.
3. Enter the IP address of the access point in the address bar of your web browser.
4. To login, use the default credentials cis and integration as the password.
5. Integrators may use the Get TeamViewer link if remote assistance is required.
The Status Page
The status page provides basic diagnostic information. There is a CIS Support Address should you
require assistance. You can view the identity (name) of the access point you are connected to, view it’s
public address, the traffic flowing through the device, and identify the MAC addresses of its interfaces.

Setting the Access Point’s Identity
The identity is used to identify your device on the network. Troubleshooting will become easier when you
set the identity correctly. Set the identity of the access point based on its location E.g., Basement.
The Identity setting can be found in the System tab in the left toolbar.

12
Undo / Redo
Undo and Redo buttons are located in the left toolbar. You may use them to quickly undo/redo any
changes made to configuration.
Show / Hide Passwords
Selecting the Hide Passwords button in the left toolbar will toggle the displaying of passwords related to
Wi-Fi, Hotspot, and more.
Rebooting the Device
If you are having ongoing issues with your network and suspect a reboot will help, the Reboot option
can be found in the System tab in the left toolbar. Clicking reboot will ask for confirmation before
proceeding.

13
Changing the Default Password
After you log in for the first time, please create a new a password to increase the security of the device.
Enter the old password in the top field and a secure password in the new and confirm password fields.
Setting the Time Zone
You can find the Clock settings under the System tab in the left toolbar. Select your time zone from the
drop-down menu.

14
IP Addressing
The DHCP Client Tab
The DHCP Client tab will present you with the IP address assigned to your access point from the router.
CIS recommends creating a DHCP reservation for access points and other network infrastructure devices.
Renewing the IP Address
Once you’ve clicked the entry under the DHCP Client option, click the Renew button to obtain a new lease.

15
Setting a Static IP Address
To set a static IP, select the Addresses tab under the IP section in the toolbar. There is an IP address
entry that is disabled by default. Click on it.
If your network falls in one of the ranges below, you can set the static IP address yourself. If it is
outside of these ranges, you must call CIS to have a route created on the access point!
Available address ranges:
172.16.1.0/24
10.100.1.0/24
192.168.1.0/24
192.168.0.0/24
Check the Enabled box, then enter the IP address you would like to use. It MUST be in the range of your
network, and outside of the range of the DHCP pool. The format must include /24 at the end. This is the
subnet mask, which determines how many devices can be connected to this network.

16
Once the static IP aSddress is set, disable the DHCP client. Go to IP > DHCP Client and click on the entry.
Click on the small ‘D’ button to disable it.

17
Managing Access Points with the Wireless Manager
All CIS routers include a Wireless Manager that allows you to manage your
access points from a single location. All changes to SSIDs, passwords and
other options will be propagated to all CIS access points on the network.
Linking CIS Access Points to the Wi-Fi Manager
Select the Wireless section in the left toolbar. Under the WiFi Interfaces
tab, select Wi-Fi Manager.
Check the Enabled box, click Apply, then OK.
The device will display the message --- managed by CAPsMAN. The Access point is now linked to your CIS
router and can be managed through the router’s configuration page.

18
Viewing the Connected Access Points
On your CIS router, select the Wi-Fi Manager section in the left toolbar. The active Wi-Fi radios will be
displayed.
If you select the WiFi Access points tab, you’ll be able to view the identity, MAC address and other
information of the individual access points.
