xMax 2.4 GHz Access Point - Quick Start Guide - G7605 - Release 2.0
The CN1300 xMax©2.4 GHz Access Point is a best-in-class outdoor-rated 802.11 access point and
antenna combination. The compact size and weight allows for easy installation on towers, buildings,
or utility poles. The unit is PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) powered, again enabling easy implementation.
The CN1300 is a full-function access point providing up to 100 Mbps user throughput.
Up to 200 clients can associate with this access point.
The AP supports 802.11 G/N modes of operation.
Configuration can be done through a user-friendly GUI.
WPA/WPA2 security is supported.
Multiple SSIDs can be broadcast to support different network organization.
QoS and priority traffic is supported.
The CN1300 can operate as a standalone 802.11 AP supporting smart phones, laptops, cameras and
tablets that are WiFi enabled. When combined in a system configuration, with CN1100 access points
and CN3200 routing modems, the CN1300 can participate in a wide-area mobile network supporting
handoff.
This manual provides basic instructions on using the CN1300 Access Point. It also describes how to
connect to the xMax Network and then connect Internet-enabled wireless devices to the xMax
Network.
IMPORTANT: The CN1300 is professionally installed.
The CN1300 Access Point is located outside the building.
The device is powered by a PoE power supply installed inside the building.
The CN1300 Access Point will only operate when the power supply is plugged into
an AC outlet.

These notices apply to the CN1300 xMax 2.4 GHz Access Point.
Be sure to read, understand and follow these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Only use accessories and attachments specified by xG Technology.
Keep a copy of these instructions for future reference.
The CN1300 xMax 2.4 GHz Access Point MUST only be installed by a professional installer. It is the
responsibility of the installer to adjust the transmit power level to ensure that the output power plus
antenna gain does not cause the device to exceed FCC Part 15 output power regulations.
Hazardous situation, which if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
All antennas MUST either be located on the exterior of a vehicle or mounted on a pole.
Every antenna MUST be separated from users by more than 23 cm (0.75 ft) at all times.

NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.

IMPORTANT
Before you begin this step, it is assumed that the CN1300 xMax 2.4 GHz Access Point has been
configured as described in the CN1300 xMax 2.4 GHz Access Point Installation Guide.
The configuration was completed by the device installer.
These steps connect the CN1300 Access Point to an xMax network.
1. Connect the power cable on the PoE++ Power Supply to a 110 to 240 VAC power source.
2. Connect to the IP address provided by the installer.
3. Initially, it will take up to two minutes to connect to the xMax Network.
4. The CN1300 xMax 2.4 GHz Access Point is now fully functional.
NOTES
If the CN1300 Access Point fails to connect to an xMax network after two minutes have
elapsed, ensure that the power indicator on the Power Supply is glowing GREEN.
If the after two minutes have elapsed, follow these steps to restart the CN1300 Access Point:
Power off the CN1300 Access Point by disconnecting the AC cord from the Power Supply.
Wait 60 seconds.
Reconnect the AC cord to power on the CN1300 Access Point.
If the CN1300 Access Point still does not connect to the xMax Network, call the service provider
to report your problem.

A properly configured device, such as a PC or laptop computer, can be wired directly to the
CN1300 xMax 2.4 GHz Access Point for Internet access.
1. Configure the device network interface for DHCP operation.
2. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the device to the LAN port on the CN1300 xMax 2.4 GHz
Access Point Power Supply.
The CN1300 xMax 2.4 GHz Access Point enables any Internet-ready device to securely connect to the
Internet through the xMax Network.
These steps connect WiFi devices to the xMax Network:
1. Configure a WiFi-enabled device for Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and DHCP operation.
2. Enter the SSID and password to match that of the user-supplied WiFi router that is connected to
the CN1300. This information should have been provided by the installer.
When connected, the device can then be used for any common Internet function.
