Safety Information
To maintain the safety of users and property, follow these safety instructions:
The XAP-1020 wireless access point is designed for indoor use only. DO NOT
place this access point outdoors. If you require an outdoor access point, please
consider the Luxul XAP-1040.
DO NOT install this access point in or near hot or humid places, such as a kitchen
or bathroom. Take care to minimize exposure to excessive heat or moisture.
DO NOT pull any connected cable with force. When disconnecting cables, do so
by disconnecting fi rst from the access point. When reconnecting, connect the AP
fi rst and then the Power/data source.
When installing the access point, be sure it is fi rmly secured to the wall or
mounting bracket.
Accessories 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!
The 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 fl ammable materials. If not using the electri-
cal box included with the unit, ALWAYS use a properly shielded and UL listed
electrical box for installation.
The XAP-1020 contains no user-serviceable parts. If the access point is not
working properly, contact your dealer and ask for help. DO NOT attempt to

HARDWARE FEATURES AND INSTALLATION
The XAP-1020 high powered access point is designed for optimal performance as
well as for simple and effi cient installation and setup. It implements Luxul’s circular
polarized directional antenna technology and is packaged for installation on a wall
or ceiling. Because the signal generated by the XAP-1020 is directional in nature, the
unit should be placed in a location that allows the antenna face to be “pointed”
towards the desired coverage area. Typically this would be on a top fl oor ceiling
pointed downwards in a multi-story installation; or for single level or two level
layouts, on a wall pointed towards the desired coverage.
Front View
For maximum discretion, the front of the XAP-1020 has no LED indicators. It
consists simply of the access point cover with the Luxul icon that indicates proper
top/bottom installation orientation of the access point.
XAP-1020 Front View
Rear View
The rear of the XAP-1020 provides one RJ-45 connection that is used to deliver both
power and data to the access point. It also provides a reset button for restoring the
access point to factory default settings and multiple options for mounting the XAP-
1020 directly on a wall or ceiling or using the adjustable wall mount bracket.

Top View
The top left side of the XAP-1020 has a small viewing portal for validating System
LED functionality during setup and/or for diagnostic purposes. For discreet
installation, all System LEDs are internal and can only be seen through this view-
ing portal. DO NOT open the XAP-1020 to see System LEDs as the access point
contains no user serviceable parts and doing so will void your warranty.

Status Indicators:
The XAP-1020 has four LEDs that can be seen through the viewing portal. With the
XAP-1020 front-facing, LEDs are as follows when viewed left to right: 1) Bridge Mode
(Green); 2) WLAN Status (Blue); 3) LAN Link/Activity (Amber); and 4) Power (Green).

Reset button for 15 seconds. When the Power LED comes on again, release the reset
button. The XAP-1020 will be set to factory defaults.
CAUTION: Pressing and holding the Reset button will remove any
custom confi gurations done to the XAP-1020.
Environmental Requirements
Ethernet cable to provide Power and Data to the XAP-1020.
A computer supporting TCP/IP and equipped with a Web browser. Supported
Web browser versions include Microsoft IE 7.0 and up, Safari 1.0 and up, Mozilla
Firefox 1.0 and up, and Google Chrome 5.0 and up. The Web browser is used to
confi gure the XAP-1020.
The XAP-1020 uses 36-57VDC power. The POE injector power supply requires AC
100V ~ 240V, 50Hz ~ 60Hz.

Temperature of the operating environment: 32F~131F (0C~55C). Be sure to place
the access point away from heat generating devices.
Humidity of the operating environment: 5%-95% non-condensing. Do not place
the access point in an extremely dirty or damp location.
Keep the access point away from strong electromagnetic fi elds (i.e. Air
Conditioner compressors, fl uorescent light ballasts, CRT monitors/televisions,
etc.), and free from vibration, dust and direct sun light.
Hardware Installation
Access Point Placement
This XAP-1020 implements Luxul’s Circular Polarized directional antenna technol-
ogy. For maximum effi ciency, 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 pointed into the coverage area; or in a multi-level instal-
lation, on the top fl oor ceiling pointed downwards.
XAP-1040 Suggested Mounting Location
Mounting the Access Point on a Wall or Ceiling
The XAP-1020 can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling; or the mounting bracket
included with this kit can be used to mount the access point for more fl exible
directional coverage. Once the mounting location has been selected, installation
is as simple as plugging the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 connector and then
mounting the access point directly to the wall or mounting bracket as shown in the
diagram below:

Connecting to the Power Source
The XAP-1020 is POE ready and supports Legacy (48v 1a), 802.3af, and 802.3at
POE injectors. A POE injector is included with the device. To apply power, simply
connect the opposite end of the Ethernet cable to which the access point is
already connected to the provided POE injector or other POE switch or injector. An
Ethernet cable length of up to 300 feet can be used. DO NOT yet apply power to
the POE injector or switch.

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.
Connecting to the Internet Source
Note that the Luxul device is not a router and in most installations will be con-
nected to a Router or Switch in order to deliver Internet access. To do so, connect
the POE injector (or switch) to the desired Internet source using another Ethernet
cable. Be sure the source device is powered off.

Applying Power
Once the Ethernet cables have been properly connected, connect the power sup-
ply to the POE injector and plug it in to a standard AC power outlet. Or, if plugging
into a POE switch, turn the switch (or appropriate port) on. The network source
device can also now be powered back on.
NOTE: If your Internet source (Router or Switch) is a POE enabled device
and connected via POE, it can be plugged directly into the access
point without the need to run a separate POE injector.
LED Visual Verifi cation
With power applied, you can now verify that the XAP-1020 is connected and
functioning properly by performing a visual inspection of the LEDs. When looking
through the viewing portal (facing the front of the unit), the Green Power LED at
the right should be on while the amber LAN Link light fl ashes, indicating activity.
Once the XAP-1020 is properly connected to the Internet source, the blue WLAN
LED should also remain on. The Green LED at the the left will only be on if the
access point is set to function in bridge mode.

CONFIGURATION
NOTE: Confi guring the Luxul AP with non-Luxul routers may require
your computer’s IP address to be changed.
The Luxul XAP-1020 default IP addresss is 192.168.0.11. 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 confi guration. 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-1020 (192.168.0.11) as the Gateway/Router.
Once confi gured, set the computer IP confi guration 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-1020 is not equipped with internal DHCP server. If connected to the Luxul
XBR-2300 Enterprise Dual-WAN Router, confi guration will be automatic. Otherwise,
the IP address of the computer for login and confi guration will need to be manually
confi gured. The table below lists the default parameters of the XAP-1020.
