Refer to the Wireless Array User’s Guide. For optimal placement, we recommend that a predictive survey be performed by a qualified Xirrus partner. Keep the unit away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise—at least 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters).

Secure the T-Bar Clips to the Ceiling Support Grid Refer to Figure Twist the four T-bar clips onto the metal ceiling support grid at the marked locations and tighten the screw posts to 10-12 lbf.ft (1.38-1.66 kgf.m). Do not overtighten the screw posts. Cut an access hole for the cable in the ceiling tile.
Install the Mounting Plate Refer to Figure Align the Array’s mounting plate and secure it to the four T-bar clips using the nuts provided. Tighten the nuts to 10-12 lbf.ft (1.38-1.66 kgf.m), but do not overtighten. Figure 4. Installing the Mounting Plate If you wish to secure the Array to the mounting plate, slide open the attachment and feed a zip tie through it.
Figure 5 Figure All XR Array models have integrated splitters, so external splitters are not used. See the PoGE Installation Guide for details on the Xirrus-supplied injector modules and Array compatibility. Power: These Arrays are only powered through the port.

license in this way after it boots up, if it has Internet connectivity. You should see the key in the License Key field. In the Admin Settings section, change both the default admin username and password to improve Array security. Enter New Admin User and New Admin Password, then Confirm Admin Password.
Securing Low Level Access to the Array Management of the Xirrus Array is done via WMI or CLI. The Array also has a lower level interface: XBL (Xirrus Boot Loader), which allows access to more primitive commands. You won’t normally use XBL unless instructed to do so by Xirrus Customer Support. For proper security, you should replace the default XBL login username and password with your own, as instructed below.
Page 13
Procedure for Securing Low Level Array Access Use the following steps to replace the default XBL username and password. These steps use CLI commands. To access CLI via the WMI, click CLI under the Tools section on the left. If Xircon access at the XBL level is to be allowed, use the following three commands to change the XBL username and password from the default values of admin/admin.
