5.2 Quick Setup
Quick Setup: For most installations, it is expected that the Quick Setup page will
be sufficient to optimally configure and deploy the XAP-1031/1032 Wi-Fi network.
The Quick Setup page consists of the following:
XDHCP Client: Enabled or Disabled. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration 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.

User Guide
18 © Copyright 2011 Luxul. All rights reserved. Trademarks & Registered Trademarks are property of respective holders.
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.
XIP Address: An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device on the
network. This field shows the IP address that is assigned to the XAP-1031/1032.
To ensure plug and play capability with other Luxul networking products, the
IP Address is automatically defaulted to 192.168.0.13. 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 field 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 conflict 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.
XSubnet 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.
XDefault 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 field is the IP address for this routing device. The default
configuration is left blank or empty, allowing the Access Point to automatically
find the necessary route to the Internet. It is recommended to leave this field
blank.
XNetwork 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:
w2 – 32 alphanumeric characters
wSpaces
wSpecial 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.
XSecurity 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:
wOpen (default - no security)
wWEP (128 bit shared key)
wWPA Personal
wWPA2 Personal
wWPA/WPA2 Personal
To change the Security Mode, click the drop down menu and select the desired
mode. The available options for the selected mode will then appear. AFTER all
options are complete, click Save, and then Reboot for the change to take effect.
XEncryption: This field sets the type of encryption to be used by the Security
Mode. The encryption options are dependent upon the Security Mode selected
and this field only shows while in WPA mode. For WEP and WPA2, and WPA/
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.
XWEP Key: This field 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.
XWPA Passphrase: This sets the passphrase used by client devices to connect to
the wireless network when using WPA Security Mode. For WPA the passphrase:
wMust be a minimum of 8, maximum of 63 characters
wCan 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.
