XController Setup Sequence: Once you configure the XWC-2000 Wireless
Controller, the controller will automatically configure and manage all
compatible APs on the same subnet; however, APs can be added or removed
at any time. A DHCP server is required on the network.
XFirmware Updates: The XWC-2000 Wireless Controller automatically
checks for firmware updates of controller-compatible APs and the Wireless
Controller itself but requires internet access to do so. The Wireless
Controller will still operate without internet access, but firmware updates will
not be available.

XAccess Point Placement: Place APs to ensure adequate coverage but
not so far apart there is no signal overlap. You may have to experiment
with AP placement to optimize the roaming experience. The 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.
AP AP
AP
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
nNote: Visit luxul.com/ap-placement for details on how to
select and optimize AP placement.
nNote: Consider using Ekahau HeatMapper to assist with this
process, available from www.ekahau.com. Luxul also oers
an informative “How-To” video on HeatMapper at luxul.com/
how-to-videos.
Physical Installation (cont.)
Connect Ethernet and Power
Use an Ethernet cable to plug the XWC-2000 Wireless Controller into the
network, then connect the Wireless Controller power cable.
Connect any APs to the network (or ensure they’re connected).
2Preparing for Access
IP Addressing
If the XWC-2000 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.
nNote: Be sure a DHCP server is present on the network and that
all Luxul APs and the XWC-2000 Wireless Controller will share
the same subnet.
nNote: If your network uses a 192.168.0.X IP address scheme, you
are ready to start the setup process. If not, you will need to
manually change the IP address of your computer to be able to
configure the XWC-2000 Wireless Controller so that it is on the
same subnet as your network. For help setting the IP address of
your particular operating system,
visit luxul.com/ip-addressing.
3Getting Connected
Access the Setup Wizard by opening your web browser and entering the
Wireless Controller’s default 192.168.0.19 IP address in the address field. Log in to
the Wireless Controller using the default user name and password:
Default IP: 192.168.0.19
Username: admin
Password: admin
cCaution: If there is another device on the network already
using the 192.168.0.19 address, you’ll need to either temporarily
disconnect or reconfigure that device or manually configure
the Wireless Controller with a dierent address on a separate,
isolated network.
4Wireless Controller Configuration
Follow the built-in Setup Wizard in the Wireless Controller. The Wizard will
walk you through creating a configuration profile, then it will automatically
configure and manage all available APs on the same network. You may add or
remove APs to or from the managed profile at any time.
tSmart Tip: For more information on setup and configuration
best practices, visit luxul.com/smart-tips.
5Hardware Operation
Selecting front-panel LED color
Use the switch on the rear panel of the XWC-2000 Wireless Controller to
switch the Power and System LEDs on the front panel between Blue, Green
or O to best match the equipment in the rack where the Wireless
Controller is sharing space.
Resetting the Controller
XReset/Reboot: Use a paper clip to briefly press and release the Reset
button on the rear panel of the controller to force it to reboot. The
front-panel LEDs will go dark once the button is released, then the System
LED will blink slowly while the controller reboots.
XRestore Factory Defaults: To restore the controller to factory default
configuration, press and hold the Reset button for at least 5 seconds.
The System LED will blink quickly to indicate the controller is returning to
factory default configuration, go dark for a few seconds, then blink slowly
while the controller boots.
XNormal Operation: When the controller is operating normally, the
System LED will blink like a heartbeat; i.e. blink-blink-dark
