READ ME FIRST - CONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY
This XAP-1610 is compatible with the Luxul Wireless Controller for fast, easy
configuration and deployment of wireless networks with multiple APs.
nNote: 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.
nNote: Please check to make sure this AP is running the latest version of
firmware (as indicated at https://www.luxul.com/firmware-updates.
aspx) before continuing onto the next steps.
AP SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
1Physical Installation
The XAP-1610 access point is designed for simple and ecient installation and
can be located one of three ways. First, the included mount is designed to
attach directly to several dierent regions’ standard electrical boxes. Second,
the XAP-1610 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-1610
can be placed on a flat surface by attaching the included rubber feet
to the mount.
cCaution: Attach the rubber feet to the mount and attach the mount to
the AP for flat surface placement to avoid overheating and failure.

XSingle Access Point Placement: Because the signal generated by the
XAP-1610 is omnidirectional, the unit should be located as near as possible
to the center of the desired coverage area.
XAP-1610 Single AP Coverage Pattern
XMultiple 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
luxul.com/ap-placement.

nNote: Consider using Ekahau HeatMapper to assist with this process,
available from www.ekahau.com. Luxul also oers an informative
“How-To” video on HeatMapper at luxul.com/how-to-videos.

2Connecting 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-1610 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-1610. 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.
nNote: Luxul recommends at least Cat-5e unshielded twisted pair
(CAT5e UTP) cabling. To ensure best performance at 1000 Mbps, use
CAT6 UTP.
PoE Injector Setup
XData In: Connect an Ethernet cable from your router or switch to the
Data In port of the included PoE Injector
XData & PWR Out: Connect an Ethernet cable from the Data & PWR Out
port of the included PoE Injector to the PoE Port of the XAP-1610
XAC Power: Connect the included AC Cord to the Power Input of the
Included Injector first and then to the AC outlet.

3Preparing for Access
IP Addressing
If the XAP-1610 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.
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 config-
uration. 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-1610).
Once you’re finished configuring the AP, you can return your computer’s IP
configuration to normal, typically “Obtain Automatically/DHCP.”
nNote: Visit http://luxul.com/ip-addressing to learn more about
changing your computer’s IP address and getting connected.
4Access and Setup
Getting Connected
XConnecting Via an Ethernet Device: Use Ethernet cable to connect your
computer to the PoE+ switch or PoE injector to which the XAP-1610 is
connected. Ethernet is the preferred method of connection.
XConnecting Via a Wireless Device: Connect your client device to the
XAP-1610 default wireless network named Luxul_XAP1610 or Luxul_
XAP1610_5G. 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 field. Log in to the AP using the
default user name and password:
Default IP: 192.168.0.10
Username: admin
Password: admin
nNote: 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-1610.
nNote: The XAP-1610 is not a router and will need to be connected to a
network with a router in order to deliver Internet access.
5Hardware Operation
LED Indicators
Enclosure: If the green Power LED is on, the XAP-1610 is powered and working.
If the Power LED is OFF, the AP is not receiving power or the LED has been
turned o in the AP’s web interface. If the green Power LED is blinking, the
XAP-1610 is booting. The two blue LEDs indicate indicate each of the 2.4GHz
and 5GHz networks are configured and broadcasting.

PoE Injector: If the Green ON LED is illuminated, power is connected to the
injector. If the ON LED is not lit, 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 restore factory default settings.
Reboot the AP: With the XAP-1610 powered on, simply press and release
the Reset button.
Restore Factory Defaults: With the XAP-1610 powered on,
press and hold the Reset button for 10 seconds. After 10
seconds the lights will begin to flash quickly, then release the
button and the XAP-1610 will restore factory defaults and reboot.
cCAUTION: Holding the Reset button for more than a few seconds
will restore the AP to factory default and remove any
custom configuration.
