User Guide

5.2 Quick Setup

Quick Setup: For most installations, it is expected that the Quick Setup page will

be sufﬁ cient to optimally conﬁ gure and deploy the XAP-1030 Wi-Fi network. The

Quick Setup page consists of the following:

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 XenSmart™ 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

Xen devices on the network.

User Guide

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-1030. To

ensure plug and play capability with other Luxul networking products, the IP

Address is automatically defaulted to 192.168.0.12. 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 XenSmart™ 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 Xen 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.

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 Xen XBR-2300 Router.

The Default Gateway ﬁ eld is the IP address for this routing device. The default

conﬁ guration is left blank or empty, allowing the Access Point to automatically ﬁ nd

the necessary route to the Internet. It is recommended to leave this ﬁ eld blank.

Network Name (SSID): Sets the name of the Wireless Network. Default name

is LuxulXen. It is recommended to change the SSID from the default name. The

SSID is case sensitive and can contain:

2 – 32 alphanumeric characters

Spaces

WPA2 Personal, encryption is automatically set to 128 bits, AES, and TKIP &

AES respectively. For WPA, there are three options: AES, TKIP, and TKIP & AES.

When set to WPA, it is recommended that TKIP & AES be used. To change the

Encryption, click the drop down menu and select the desired encryption type.

Once all options are selected, click Save and then Reboot for the change to take

effect.

WEP Key: This ﬁ eld only shows while in WEP mode and sets the WEP key to be

used in the network. WEP 128 bit keys require 26 characters. Allowed characters

are numbers 0-9 and letters a-f. There are WEP key generators online that can

automatically create a key. To change the WEP Key, simply enter the 26 character

key then click Save and then Reboot for the change to take effect.

WPA Passphrase: This sets the passphrase used by client devices to connect to

the wireless network when using WPA Security Mode. For WPA the passphrase:

Must be a minimum of 8, maximum of 63 characters

Can contain spaces or special characters (i.e. @#$%&*)

To change the WPA Passphrase, simply type in the desired passphrase, click Save,

then Reboot for the change to take effect.

User Guide

1919

NOTE: It is recommended to use a strong password containing:

More than the minimum number of characters

One or more capital letters
