Connect Cables and Install AP
NOTE: Once you connect GIG1/POE, an automatic upgrade typically starts soon after the AP has Internet connectivity. Do
not unplug this port during the upgrade or the AP may become inoperable. The upgrade should take 10 minutes or less.
Connect the cable that carries power and data to GIG1/PoE (shown in red). If you
1.
use a Cambium Xirrus-supplied injector, its CONNECT LED should light (for
70W and higher injectors, it is OK if it blinks). If power is being properly
supplied, the AP's LEDs will light and then commence blinking in their rotating
boot pattern. A second data connection may be plugged into GIG2 (optional).
2.
If using a mounting plate, line up the alignment pin on the AP's gray clip
(installed in
Install Mounting Hardware on page
middle of the mounting plate. The circle in the image at left shows how the pin
and the slot fit together, and the black arrows show the two tabs that hold the AP
in place on the mounting plate.
3.
Push the AP up on the mounting plate tabs (or the screw heads, if attaching
directly to ceiling) and rotate the AP to the right (clockwise) till it snaps in place.
4.
To secure the AP to the mounting plate for tamper evidence or to deter removal, feed a customer-provided zip
tie or other locking hardware through the hole in the top of the locking slug and the matching locking tab on
the mounting plate.
5.
Remove the protective plastic film from the unit.

Zero-Touch Provisioning and Ongoing Management
Most customers use the XMS management system for the initial setup and continuing management of Cambium
Xirrus APs. XMS users set up new APs for zero-touch provisioning via the platforms below. Wait ten minutes after
powering up the AP to automatically discover and upgrade it, then use XMS to view and manage it.
XMS-Cloud—performs zero-touch provisioning. Your new APs appear in XMS even before you receive your
equipment. When the email arrives with your login information, use XMS-Cloud to specify the initial settings
for your APs. A Guided Tour will walk you through the basic steps of creating a profile containing
configuration settings, including creating SSIDs and firewall/application control rules. Once the installed AP
has Internet connectivity, it will automatically contact Cambium Xirrus for cloud-based zero-touch
provisioning per your settings, install the latest applicable license, and upgrade the AP to the latest software
version as appropriate.
XMS-Enterprise—detects and provisions new Cambium Xirrus devices deployed in your network. Create and
configure a default profile for newly added APs, then set up discovery for the APs' subnetwork. New devices
will automatically receive the configuration defined in the default profile.
If you are not using XMS, see the Wireless Access Point User's Guide to configure XD2 APs manually. The User
Guide is available from support.cambiumnetworks.com.
