To maintain the safety of users and property, follow these safety instructions:
XThe XAP-1050 wireless access point is designed for outdoor use and is compliant
with IP-66 standards. However, this does not mean it is waterproof or weather-
proof. Rather, that it is weather and water resistant and care should still be taken
to avoid excessive exposure to heat, moisture, etc.
XDO NOT pull any connected cable with force. When disconnecting cables, do so
by disconnecting first from the access point. When reconnecting, connect the AP
first and then the Power/data source.
XWhen installing the access point, be sure it is firmly secured
XAccessories of this access point, such as mounting screws, the POE injector and
power supply may be dangerous to small children under 3 years of age. KEEP All
ACCESSORIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN!
XThe access point may become hot when in use for extended time periods. This is
normal and is not a malfunction. DO NOT install this access point where it will
be exposed to paper, cloth or other flammable materials. If not using the electri-
cal box included with the unit, ALWAYS use a properly shielded and UL listed
electrical box for installation.

Hardware Installation
Access Point Placement
This XAP-1050 implements Luxul’s Circular Polarized directional antenna technol-
ogy. For maximum efficiency, it should be aimed towards the area to which you
would like to provide coverage. With this in mind, the ideal placement option is
usually on an outside wall or pole pointed into the coverage area.
XAP-1050 Suggested Mounting Location
Mounting the Access Point on a Wall or Pole
The XAP-1050 can be mounted directly to a wall or pole using the included mount-
ing bracket.
The XAP-1050 mount assembles as show above. The u-bolts may be removed and
the plate may be mounted directly to a wall using your hardware.

CAUTION: Do not drill holes in the enclosure or the weather proofing
will be compromised and your warranty voided.
Assembling the Weather Resistant RJ-45 Connector Gland
To ensure proper protection from the elements, the weather resistant RJ-45 con-
nector gland must be installed correctly. To do so requires the installer to termi-
nate the Ethernet Cable that will be plugged into the XAP-1050. The diagram below
indicates the correct assembly for the RJ-45 Connector Gland.
RJ-45 Connector Weather Resistant Gland assembly
NOTE: Category-5, super Category-5 or Category-6 unshielded twisted
pair (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 UTP) cables can be used. For best
results, it is recommended that Category-6 shielded twisted pair
be used to ensure stable data transmission at highest data rates.
Once the RJ45 Connector Gland has been assembled and the Ethernet Cable has
been terminated, the cable can now be plugged into the XAP-1050. You can now at-
tach the RJ-45 Connector Gland by placing it over the cable connector and turning
it clockwise until it is firmly secured. At this time, also tighten the gland around the
cable by turning it clockwise and thus creating a water-tight seal.
Connecting to the Power Source
The included power supply needs to be hard wired into a suitable VAC source
according to local electrical wiring codes. ACL (Brown wire, VAC Live) needs to be
connected to the hot (typically black for 110VAC in the US) and the ACN (Blue wire,
VAC Neutral) needs to be connected to the neutral (typically white for 110VAC in
the US) AC feed.
The output of the power supply is 48VDC with V+ (Red) and V- (Black, ‘Ground’).
Connect these to the supplied XAP-1050 pigtail. Connect Red to Red and Black to
Black.

CAUTION: When attaching the circular power connector to the XAP-
1050, Do Not over tighten the connector. Damage to the
connector may occur if over tightened.
Install the power supply in a location that is protected from immersion or pro-
longed contact with water. The power supply is IP-64 rated which means it is
protected from dust infiltration and can withstand splashed water.
Applying Power
Once the power connections are made the XAP-1050 is ready to power on.
CAUTION: Do not connect a none PoE device the RJ-45 connect of the
XAP-1050 or damage to the device may occur
CONFIGURATION
NOTE: Configuring the Luxul Xen AP with non-Luxul routers may require
your computer’s IP address to be changed.
The Luxul Xen XAP-1050 default IP addresss is 192.168.0.15. If the
IP address of your router is not set to the 192.168.0.X network,
a temporary static IP address must be set on the computer
being used for configuration. To do so, set the IP address of the
computer to the 192.168.0.X range and then use the default IP
address of your XAP-1050 (192.168.0.15) as the Gateway/Router.
Once configured, set the computer IP configuration back to
“Obtain Automatically/DHCP.”
Go to http://luxul.com/how-to-videos for videos about
changing the IP address of your Operating System.
Login
The XAP-1050 is not equipped with internal DHCP server. If connected to the Luxul
XBR-2300 Enterprise Dual-WAN Router, configuration will be automatic. Otherwise,
the IP address of the computer for login and configuration will need to be manually
configured. The table below lists the default parameters of the XAP-1050.

5.4 Bridge Setup
NOTE: Once you set the XAP-1050 to Bridge Client you will not be able
to access the XAP-1050 wirelessly. We recommend configuring a
second SSID so you can wirelessly make changes later if required
5.4.1 Client Mode
XClient: Connects to an existing wireless network as a client device
When setting the AP in Client Mode you will enter the Name (SSID) of the Network
it will connect to, the Security Mode that Network uses and the Passphrase needed
to connect. Then simply click Save and Reboot to apply the changes, the Luxul AP
will now connect as a client device.
NOTE: When connected as a client device the AP will hide all MAC
addresses behind it’s own MAC Address
5.4.2 Dedicated Bridge Mode

network usually with Internet feed

Quick Install Guide
14 © Copyright 2012 Luxul. All rights reserved. Trademarks & Registered Trademarks are property of respective holders.
When setting the AP in Root Bridge Mode the MAC address of the Root is dis-
played you will need this for the Bridge Client device(s). Write down the Root
Bridge’s MAC address. Now configure the name of the Bridge SSID, Security Mode
and Passphrase. Then simply click Save and then Reboot to apply the changes, the
Luxul AP will now start running in Bridge Root mode allowing Bridge Client devices
to connect.
NOTE: Bridge mode allows all device MAC addressing to be preserved

When setting the AP in Bridge Client Mode the MAC address from the Root Bridge
will need to be entered in the Root AP MAC Address field.
NOTE: We recommend manually entering the MAC address as cut and
paste operations have been known to cause formatting issues
that will prevent the bridge from connecting.
Now simply match the SSID, Security Mode and Passphrase configured on the Root
Bridge. Then simply click Save and Reboot to apply the changes, the Luxul AP will
now start running in Bridge Client mode passing data between the two bridged
points.
NOTE: Bridge mode allows all device MAC addressing to be preserved
and will not allow for client device connections only Bridge
Clients will be able to connect.
5.4.3 Bridge Mode with Client Access
XClient device access when running in Bridge Mode:
To allow devices to connect to any Luxul AP in Bridge Mode we recommend set-
ting a second SSID to allow client devices to connect. In the AP’s management page
select Wireless >> Settings, then select SSID 2 and configure the Client network.
NOTE: This SSID must be different than the SSID used for the bridge
connection, and may match on the Bridge Root and Bridge
Client devices.
