DHCP Client: Enabled or Disabled. DHCP (Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol)
is used to automatically assign an IP Addresses to a device on the network. If
DHCP is enabled on the Access Point, it will no longer use the static address set
by Luxul at time of manufacturing and will request a dynamic IP Address from the
Router (sometimes referred to as the Gateway).
When DHCP is enabled on the Access Point, the new IP address will be needed
in order to access the web management interface. The Router web interface can
be used to look up the IP address assigned to the Access Point. To Enable DHCP,
click on the drop down menu and select Enable. Select Apply and then Reboot
for the change to take effect.
NOTE: DHCP is set as Disabled by default and is the recommended
setting in order to ensure optimal communications with all Luxul
devices on the network.
IP Address: An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device on the
network. This fi eld shows the IP address that is assigned to the XAP-1010. To
ensure plug and play capability with other Luxul networking products, the IP
Address is automatically defaulted to 192.168.0.10. If desired, the user can set
this to a different static IP Address. To change the IP address of the Access
Point, simply type in the desired IP address (the text fi eld will be red if the
address is incomplete), click Apply and then Reboot for the changed to take
effect. When connecting to the Access Point through the web interface, the
NEW IP Address must be used.
NOTE: Each device on the same network must have a unique IP address.
If the Access Point is assigned an IP address already in use, it
will result in an IP address confl ict that will need to be resolved
manually. For optimal communications with all Luxul devices on
the network, it is recommended that IP addresses not be changed
unless absolutely necessary.
 Subnet Mask: To ensure plug and play capability with other Luxul networking
products, the Subnet Mask is automatically defaulted to 255.255.255.0. If desired,
the user can set this to a different static Subnet Mask.

User Guide
18 © Copyright 2014 Luxul. All rights reserved. Trademarks & Registered Trademarks are property of respective holders.
Default Gateway: A gateway is a router on the network that connects two or
more networks together. Typically the gateway (router) connects the local area
network (LAN) to the Internet. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) often provides
a physical device (usually a DSL modem or cable modem) that connects to the
gateway with an Ethernet cable, thus completing the link to the Internet. For
optimal connectivity and network functionality, this device could also be the
Luxul XBR-2300 Router.
Set the Default Gateway fi eld to the IP address of your network default gateway,
typically your router. The default gateway confi guration is set to the default IP
address of the Luxul XBR-2300 Router.
 Operating Mode: Sets the Operating Mode of the Access Point the available
options are;
Access Point: Allows client devices to connect (default mode)
Client: Allows the AP to connect to an existing network as a client device
Bridge Root: Sets the AP into Bridge Root mode allowing Bridge Clients to
connect (regular client devices cannot connect to this mode)
Bridge Client: Sets the AP into Bridge Client mode allowing it to connect to a
Bridge Root (regular client devices cannot connect to this mode)
 Network Name (SSID): Sets the name of the Wireless Network. Default name is
Luxul. It is recommended to change the SSID from the default name. The SSID is
case sensitive and can contain:
2 – 32 alphanumeric characters
Spaces
Special characters (i.e. @#$%&*)
To change the SSID of the wireless network, simply type the desired name, click
Save, and then Reboot for the change to take effect.
 Security Mode: Sets the wireless security encryption mode. It is HIGHLY
recommended to change the Security Mode and use the highest security level
supported by the client devices in the network. In most wireless networks, WPA/
WPA2 Personal is an excellent option that will support the largest cross section
of client devices. Security options include:
Open (default - no security)
