Wireless Array
60 Installing the Wireless Array
Once you have determined the best location for your Wireless Array, you must
run cables to the location for the following services:
Power
 No separate power cable to the Array is required when using
PoGE modules. The PoGE module requires a dedicated AC
power outlet (100 - 240 VAC).
Network
 Gigabit POE1 — If using PoGE modules, the total of all Cat 5e or
Cat 6 cable segments from the Gigabit Ethernet switch to an
Array Ethernet port must be less than 100m long. The Array must
be connected to PoGE networks without routing cabling to the
outside plant, to ensure that cabling is not exposed to lightning
strikes or possible high voltage crossover.
 Gigabit POE2—For Arrays with a second POE port, the same
restrictions listed above apply.(optional, not available on the
four-port Arrays)
 Fast Ethernet (optional, not available on the four-port Arrays)
 Serial cable (optional) — cable lengths up to 25’ per the RS-232
specification.
Important Notes About Network Connections
Read the following notes before making any network connections.

When the unit’s IP address is unknown or a network connection has not
been established, the serial cable is used for connecting directly with the
Command Line Interface (CLI) via HyperTerminal. When a network
connection is established, the Array can be managed from any of the
available network connections, either Fast Ethernet, Gigabit 1 or Gigabit 2.

For the XR-1000, the Xirrus Xircon utility may be used locally to set up an
IP address if necessary.
