Safety Information
To maintain the safety of users and property, follow these safety instructions:
The XAP-1040 wireless access point is designed for outdoor use and is compliant
with IP-66 standards. However, this does not mean it is waterproof or weather-
proof. Rather, that it is weather and water resistant and care should still be taken
to avoid excessive exposure to heat, moisture, etc.
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
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-1040 contains no user-serviceable parts. If the access point is not
working properly, contact your dealer and ask for help. DO NOT attempt to
disassemble the access point.
HARDWARE FEATURES AND INSTALLATION
The XAP-1040 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 outdoors
on a wall or pole. Because the signal generated by the XAP-1040 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.
Front View
For maximum weather resistance, the XAP-1040 has no external LED indicators. The
front consists simply of the access point cover with the Luxul icon that indicates
proper top/bottom installation orientation of the access point.

The rear of the XAP-1040 provides various mounting options. It is designed to
mount optimally to a wall or pole using the included mounting bracket and
hardware.

Bottom View
The bottom of the XAP-1040 provides one RJ-45 connection that is used to deliver
both power and data to the access point. When installation is complete, a weather
resistant RJ-45 connector gland will cover the RJ-45 connection.
XAP-1040 Bottom View
Inside View
For maximum weather resistance, all System LEDs and the Reset button are located
internally. Unless it becomes necessary to do so, opening the XAP-1040 is not
suggested. Note that there are no user serviceable parts. There is also a metal insert
for grounding power.
For troubleshooting, functional validation or system Reset, you will need to open
the XAP-1040. To do so, remove the 4 screws at the back of the unit. After doing so,
carefully lift the base up and to the right as demonstrated below:
View of XAP-1040 Opened
CAUTION: Before removing the cover and/or attempting to service
the XAP-1040, be sure to unplug all cables and dismount the device.
Use caution to see that no external elements are introduced inside the
enclosure and that reasonable precautions are taken to minimize static
and electromagnetic contamination of the electronic components. Avoid
touching any of the internal electronics, except in the case of a Reset.

CAUTION: When lifting the base, be careful not to pull, bend or
otherwise move the base or cover excessively. By simply
lifting the base slightly, you should be able to see the LEDs
as well as access the Reset button. When re-assembling the
unit, be sure to maintain the weather-resistant integrity of
the enclosure by verifying that the rubber seal is properly
seated and the four screws are fi rmly in place, but not
over-tightened.
With the base lifted to the right, System LEDs and the Reset button can be seen as

Hardware Installation
Access Point Placement
This XAP-1040 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 or pole pointed into the coverage area.
XAP-1040 Suggested Mounting Location
Mounting the Access Point on a Wall or Pole
The XAP-1040 can be mounted directly to a wall or pole using the included mount-
ing bracket. 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 pole as shown in the diagram below:
The XAP-1040 mount assembles as show above. The u-bolts may be removed and
the plate may be mounted directly to a wall using your hardware.
CAUTION: Do not drill holes in the enclosure or the weather proofi ng
will be compromised and your warranty voided.

Assembling the Weather Resistant RJ-45 Connector Gland
To ensure proper protection from the elements, the weather resistant RJ-45 con-
nector gland must be installed correctly. To do so requires the installer to termi-
nate the Ethernet Cable that will be plugged into the XAP-1040. The diagram below
indicates the correct assembly for the RJ-45 Connector Gland.
RJ-45 Connector Gland assembly
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.
Once the RJ45 Connector Gland has been assembled and the Ethernet Cable has
been terminated, the cable can now be plugged into the XAP-1040. You can now at-
tach the RJ-45 Connector Gland by placing it over the cable connector and turning
it clockwise until it is fi rmly secured. At this time, also tighten the gland around the
cable by turning it clockwise and thus creating a water-tight seal.
Connecting to the Power Source
The XAP-1040 is POE ready and supports Legacy (48v 1a), 802.3af, and 802.3at POE
injectors. A POE injector kit, including power supply and noise suppressor are
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: To ensure FCC compliance and minimize high frequency noise, a
Ferrite Noise Suppresser is included with the POE injector kit. It
should be placed on the Ethernet cable at or near the connector
on the end of the Ethernet cable that plugs into the POE device.
To install it, simply unsnap the plastic fasteners, place it on the
Ethernet cable as demonstrated below and re-snap the plastic
fasteners to secure it in place.

Connecting to the Internet Source
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.

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.
