QUICK INSTALL GUIDE

READ ME FIRST - AP COMPATIBILITY
The Access Points included in this XWS-1310 Wireless Controller Kit are ready for setup.
If you don’t plan to use the Wireless Controller to manage any older or previously
-installed APs, you can skip to the next section titled, “Before You Begin Installation”.
If you are using separately-purchased Luxul APs or installing a
Wireless Controller into an existing Luxul deployment, you may
need to manually upgrade the AP firmware before installing
the Wireless Controller. Luxul APs running firmware version 5
or later are Controller-compatible and can be used with the
Controller as-is. When purchasing Luxul APs for use with the
Wireless Controller, look for an orange “Version 5 Firmware”
sticker on the box to avoid the manual upgrade process.
XAccess Point Compatibility: The XWC-1000 Wireless Controller is compatible with
the following Luxul AP models: XAP-310, XAP-1210, XAP-1230, XAP-1500.
Access Point Upgrade Instructions:
cCaution: It is not possible to downgrade the AP from firmware version 5,
so upgrade only if you are certain you don’t want to go back.
1. Make sure the XWC-1000 Wireless Controller is disconnected from the network
or powered off during the AP upgrade process.
2. Use your computer to download the firmware file for your AP from
luxul.com/firmware-updates
3. Open the APs web interface by entering the IP address of the AP in your
computer’s browser and select Administration >> Firmware Update
4. Click the Browse button and select the firmware file you downloaded,
then click Open
5. Click the Upgrade button. You should now see a status indicator to let
you know the firmware upgrade is in progress.
6. Once the power LED starts blinking, close the browser used to access the
APs web interface.
7. Once the power LED stops blinking, open a new browser window and re-enter the
IP address of the AP. Restore the APs factory default settings by using the web
interface or the Factory Default button on the AP. The AP is compatible with the
XWC-1000 Wireless Controller only after it is restored to factory default condition.
8. The AP is now compatible with the Wireless Controller. Power down the AP until
the Controller Setup Wizard instructs you to apply power to the AP.
Repeat this process for any other APs which require a manual firmware upgrade
and that you wish to manage with the XWC-1000 Wireless Controller.

FIRMWARE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION
XAccess Point Firmware: If you are using APs other than those included in this kit,
please refer to READ ME FIRST - AP COMPATIBILITY on the previous page.
XController Setup Sequence: Be sure to setup the XWC-1000 Wireless Controller
BEFORE powering up the APs. Once logged into the Wireless Controller, the Setup
Wizard will prompt you when it is time to add the APs to the network. A DHCP
server is required on the network.
XAccessibility: Once an Access Point is controlled by the XWC-1000 Wireless
Controller, the web interface on the AP is no longer enabled. Conversely, if an AP
confi guration is managed via its web interface, communication with the XWC-1000
Wireless Controller will be disabled. To change an AP from Controller-managed to
standalone (or the reverse), restore the AP to Factory Default.
XFirmware Updates: The XWC-1000 Wireless Controller automatically checks for
fi rmware updates of Controller-compatible APs and the Wireless Controller itself,
but requires Internet access to do so. The Wireless Controller will still operate
without Internet access, but fi rmware updates will not be available.
Physical Installation
XConnecting Devices: The XWC-1000 Wireless Controller simply connects to the
network. The XAP-310 APs connect to the network via the included PoE Ethernet
switch (or other 802.3af/at switch).

XAccess 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.

nNote: Consider using Ekahau HeatMapper to assist with this process, available
from www.ekahau.com. Luxul also offers an informative “How-To” video on
HeatMapper at luxul.com/how-to-videos.

WIRELESS CONTROLLER SYSTEM KIT SETUP
1. Use an Ethernet cable to plug the XWC-1000 Wireless Controller into the network.
Do not connect any APs to the network yet.
nNote: Be sure a DHCP server is present on the network and that all Luxul APs and
the XWC-1000 Wireless Controller will share the same subnet. If your network
uses a 192.168.0.X IP address scheme, you are ready to start the setup process. If
not, you will need to manually change the IP address of your computer to be able
to confi gure the XWC-1000 Wireless Controller so that it is on the same subnet as
your network. For help setting the IP address of your particular operating system,
visit luxul.com/ip-addressing.
2. To access the Setup Wizard, open your web browser and enter the Wireless
Controller’s default 192.168.0.19 IP address in the address fi eld. Log in to the Wireless
Controller using the default user name and password:
Default IP: 192.168.0.19
Username: admin
Password: admin
nNote: If there is another device on the network already using the 192.168.0.19
address, you’ll need to either temporarily disconnect or reconfi gure that other
device, or manually confi gure the Wireless Controller with a different address
on a separate isolated network.
3. Follow the built-in Setup Wizard in the Wireless Controller. The Wizard will direct
you to power the APs on at the appropriate time and walk you through completing
the setup.
tSmart Tip: For more information on setup and confi guration best practices,
visit luxul.com/smart-tips.
RESETTING THE CONTROLLER
XReset/Reboot: Use a paperclip to press and release the reset button on the front
panel of the Controller to force it to reboot. The LEDs will go dark once the button is
released, then blink slowly while the controller boots.
XRestore Factory Defaults: To restore the controller to Factory Default
confi guration, press and hold the reset button for at least 5 seconds. The System
LED will blink quickly to indicate that the Controller is returning to Factory Default
confi guration, go dark for a few seconds, then blink slowly while the
controller reboots.
XNormal Operation: When the controller is operating normally, the System LED will
blink like a heartbeat, i.e. blink-blink-dark.

RF Exposure Guidelines
XSafety Information: The device complies with internationally recognized standards covering human
exposure to electromagnetic fields from radio devices.
XWarning, Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation: The radiated output of this device is below the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the
potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.
XThe end user must avoid any extended human RF exposure directly in front of the device, up to a distance
of 20cm, when unit is on.
XWhen servicing the equipment and selecting a location for the antennas, it is important to note that a
minimum distance of 20cm is required between personnel and the device or antenna to comply with the
radio frequency exposure limit.
XThe antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least
20cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
XDo not touch or move the antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
XDo not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any
exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
XDo not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; this behavior may
cause damage to the radio.
