XD Series High Density Access Points

 Workstation with a Web browser to configure the AP via the Xirrus Management System/ Mobilize or directly

via the AP’s Windows Management Interface (WMI).

 Ceiling Mount—you may mount directly to a ceiling. Use two user-supplied screws that are appropriate for

the construction material of the ceiling (we recommend max screw size #8, Pan Head type). Alternatively, or

for the ability to lock in place or detect tampering, use the furnished mounting plate with four user-supplied

screws that are appropriate for the construction type of the mounting site.

 For a locked installation, supply a zip-tie, small lock, or other locking hardware.

Choose a Suitable Location

The AP can be installed on the ceiling or on a wall or may be placed on a shelf.

 Choose a location that is central to your users.

 The location must be capable of supporting the weight of the AP and the mounting bracket (about 2 pounds

total).

 For optimal placement, we recommend that a predictive survey be performed by a qualified Xirrus partner.

 Maintain a distance of at least 50 feet between additional APs.

 Keep the unit away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise-at least 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2

meters).

Install Mounting Hardware and AP

The AP can be installed directly on a normal ceiling as described in the next section:

 3A-Direct Ceiling Mount without Mounting Plate—Use the mounting plate (below) if you want a more secure

mounting, the ability to lock the AP in place, or an easy to dismount and remount installation.

 4B-Ceiling Mount with Mounting Plate

3A-Direct Ceiling Mount without Mounting Plate

Direct Ceiling Mount:

To attach the AP directly to the ceiling, use the mounting holes on the

back of the AP, indicated in red in the photo.

You need two screws of an appropriate type for the construction type

at the mounting site. We suggest screw size #8, Pan Head.

NOTE: The AP must not be disassembled - do not remove the

back of the AP to tighten the screws after mounting.

1. Remove the mounting plate from the back of the AP by

pushing it down and rotating it to the left

2. Mark the location for the two mounting screws—3.5” (8.9 cm)

apart, on center.
