READ ME FIRST - CONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY
This XAP-810 is compatible with the Luxul Wireless Controller for fast, easy
configuration and deployment of wireless networks with multiple APs.
nNote: If you’ll be using this AP with a Wireless Controller, refer to
the Quick Install Guide included with the Wireless Controller for
setup instructions.
AP SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
1Physical Installation
The XAP-810 access point is designed for simple and ecient installation and
can be located one of three ways. First, the included mount is designed to
attach directly to several dierent regions’ standard electrical boxes. Second,
the XAP-810 may be mounted on a ceiling or wall without a box by using the
included mount as a guide to mark attachment locations. Finally, the XAP-810
can be placed on a flat surface by attaching the included rubber feet
to the mount.
cCaution: Attach the rubber feet to the mount and attach the mount to
the AP for flat surface placement to avoid overheating and failure.
XSingle Access Point Placement: Because the signal generated by the
XAP-810 is omnidirectional, the unit should be located as near as possible to
the center of the desired coverage area.
XAP-810 Single AP Coverage Pattern
XMultiple Access Point Placement: You may need to experiment with
AP placement to optimize the roaming experience. Place APs to ensure
adequate coverage, but not so far apart that there is no signal overlap.
Adjacent 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. 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. To learn more about AP placement, visit
luxul.com/ap-placement.

2Connecting Ethernet and Power
Ethernet and Power
To apply power and network simultaneously, simply connect one end of an
Ethernet cable to a PoE switch, and the other end to the XAP-810 PoE port.
To connect power and Ethernet separately, first connect an Ethernet cable
from the supplied PoE Injector Data & PWR Out port to the PoE port on
the XAP-810. An Ethernet cable length of up to 300 feet can be used.

Next, connect an Ethernet cable from your Router or Switch to the Data
IN port on the PoE Injector. Finally, connect the AC cord to the included
PoE Injector, then to the AC outlet.
nNote: Luxul recommends at least Cat-5e unshielded twisted pair
(CAT5e UTP) cabling. To ensure best performance at 1000 Mbps, use
CAT6 UTP.
PoE Injector Setup
XData In: Connect an Ethernet cable from your router or switch to the
Data In port of the included PoE Injector.
XData & PWR Out: Connect an Ethernet cable from the Data & PWR Out
port of the included PoE Injector to the PoE Port of the XAP-810.
XAC Power: Connect the included AC Cord to the Power Input of the
Included Injector first and then to the AC outlet.

3Preparing for Access
IP Addressing
If the XAP-810 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.
If your network uses an address scheme other than 192.168.0.X, you’ll need
to set a temporary static IP address on the computer you’re using for config-
uration. To do so, set the IP address of your computer to any address in the
192.168.0.X range other than 192.168.0.10.
Once you’re finished configuring the AP, you can return your computer’s IP
configuration to normal, typically “Obtain Automatically/DHCP.”
nNote: Visit http://luxul.com/ip-addressing to learn more about
changing your computer’s IP address and getting connected.
4Access and Setup
Getting Connected
XConnecting Via an Ethernet Device: Use Ethernet cable to connect
your computer to the PoE switch or PoE injector to which the XAP-810 is
connected. Ethernet is the preferred method of connection.
XConnecting Via a Wireless Device: Connect your client device to the
XAP-810 default wireless network named Luxul_XAP810 or Luxul_
XAP810_5G. The wireless network will run in Open Security mode, so no
passphrase is required until Wireless Security is configured.
Logging In
To access the AP’s web configuration, open your web browser and enter the
AP’s default 192.168.0.10 IP address in the address field. Log in to the AP using the
default user name and password:
Default IP: 192.168.0.10
Username: admin
Password: admin
nNote: If another device on your network shares the 192.168.0.10 address,
you’ll need to temporarily reassign or remove that device while
you configure the XAP-810.
nNote: The XAP-810 is not a router and will need to be connected to a
network with a router in order to deliver Internet access.
5Hardware Operation
LED Indicators
Enclosure: If the green Power LED is on, the XAP-810 is powered and working. If
the Power LED is OFF, the AP is not receiving power or the LED has been turned
o in the AP’s web interface. If the green Power LED is blinking, the XAP-810
is booting. The two blue LEDs indicate indicate each of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz
networks are configured and broadcasting.
XAP-810 LED’s
PoE Injector: If the PWR LED is On, Power is Connected to the injector. If
the PWR LED is O, the injector is not receiving power.
Reset Button
The Reset button is located underneath the mount and
marked RESET. It may be used to reboot the AP or to restore
factory default settings.
Reboot the AP: With the XAP-810 powered on, simply press
and release the Reset button.
Restore Factory Defaults: With the XAP-810 powered on, press and hold
the Reset button for 10 seconds, then release the button and the XAP-810
will restore factory defaults and reboot.
cCAUTION: Holding the Reset button for more than a few seconds
will restore the AP to factory default and remove any
custom configuration.
