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-1032 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
18 © Copyright 2011 Luxul. All rights reserved. Trademarks & Registered Trademarks are property of respective holders.
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-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 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
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)
WEP (128 bit shared key)
WPA Personal
WPA2 Personal
WPA/WPA2 Personal
To change the Security Mode, click the drop down menu and select the desired

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

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.
