Wi-Fi Array

Optional Network Components

The following network components are optional.
Xirrus Management System (XMS)
The optional XMS offers powerful management features for small or large
Wi-Fi Array deployments.
Xirrus Power over Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE)
The optional Power over Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE) modules allow you to
provide power the Array without running power cables. The 8 Port
Injector provides distributed power to multiple Arrays, eliminating the
need to run dedicated AC power to each unit and facilitating backup
power when connected via a UPS.
Specific models of the Array are compatible with specific PoGE modules.
For details, please see
External RADIUS server
Although your Array comes with an embedded
802.1x authentication in large deployments you may want to add an
external RADIUS server.

Client Requirements

The Wi-Fi Array should only be used with Wi-Fi certified client devices.
