airPoint XO™ Series Wireless Access Points Quick Install Guide
Professional Installation airPoint XO and airPoint XO2 require installation by professional installer. Steps: • Choose the antenna from the antennas certified with airPoint XO / airPoint XO2 • The RF cable should be of 1 meter length, LMR 400 cable with N male connectors at both ends. • Set the power output of airPoint XO / airPoint XO2 using the procedure shown in "Configuring airPoint XO" / “ Configuring airPoint XO2 “. The RF output power can be adjusted to a maximum of +17dBm.

1. airPoint XO™ Series The smartBridges airPoint XO™ products are LongRange™, IEEE 802.11b compliant Access Point devices for deployment of Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWANs). The airPoint XO™ products deal with four key areas that are of vital importance in any WWAN network: Subscriber Bandwidth Management, Advanced Networking Capabilities, Remote Infrastructure Management and, Carrier-Class Reliability. Currently there are 2 models in the airPoint XO™ series 1.
airBridge series (Client devices) and the airPoint XO™ series (access points) wirelessly.

3. Hardware Installation For airPoint XO™ and airPoint XO2™ • Connect an outdoor rated shielded Ethernet CAT 5 / 5e cable to the RJ45 connector of the airPoint XO™ ( Located inside the weather proof connector ) to the ETH OUT of PoE Outdoor™ (Refer to the PoE Outdoor™ user guide for detailed instructions) • Connect the ETH IN RJ45 connector of the PoE Outdoor™ to the ETH Out of the Wall Plate Unit with proper CAT 5 / 5e cable .
• Verify that the PWR , ETH and RF LEDs are ON . • airPoint XO™ with its Factory Default Settings will serve the nearby wireless clients 4. Installing the airPoint XO™ Series Grounding : • Crimp an AWG # 10 grounding wire to the Tag provided. • Place this Tag on the grounding Stud at the bottom side of the aP XO™ . • Fasten it with the M6 nut tightly to the grounding Stud . • Connect the other end of the earth wire to the Power Ground on the premises .

Select the most appropriate place on the roof which will provide a direct view to the Access Point. Secure a 1.5 inch steel pipe vertically and insure that it cannot come off with wind force. Attach the bracket of the airPoint XO™ or XO2™ unit with the 2pcs of U bolts to the pipe. Make sure to tighten both top and bottom mounting plates to the pipe with U bolts, nuts and spring washers. Tighten the nuts so that the bracket does not rotate on the pipe.
3. Seal the RF connectors both at the antenna and the SB device side from the natural elements using weatherproofing tape provided. Do not skimp or skip on this. 4. Choose the antenna of the correct gain and radiating angle to meet the requirements for the system setup. Avoid using channels which are already in use. Use the IEEE 802.11b recommended nonoverlapping channels: 1, 6 & 11 only or any other non-overlapping channel combo.
3. Suitable cable ties should be used to hold the cable rigidly along its path. Make sure that the cable does not pull or cause strain on the weather proof connector on the airPoint XO™ devices. 4. Do not make sharp bends. Provide bending radius of minimum 2 inches (50mm). Refer to the cable and connector installation instructions placed inside the weatherproof connector for more detailed information. 4.4 LEDs Status 1. Power : Green 2.

7. Frequently Asked Questions How does the airPoint XO™ differs from some other available products? The airPoint XO™ is designed to provide Bandwidth Management function from the Access Point box, which houses the radio, rather than the commonly used method of managing bandwidth from the NOC.
Is bandwidth throttling based on radius profiles possible? Dynamic RADIUS based control is supported for large networks. Bandwidth control can be implemented using static IP lists for small networks. 2 In airPoint XO ™, does each radio have independent WEP key, ESSID, and channel. Is it possible to set it differently? Yes. Each radio parameter can be set differently. This significantly enhances the flexibility 2 of configurations that the airPoint XO ™ can provide.
