Quick Installation Guide
For XH2 Models
The XH2 Series Hardened Wireless Access Point provides two
dual-band 802.11ac radios in a hardened case for installation
outdoors and in other harsh environments. This guide describes
how to install the XH2 Series on a pole or wall and execute the
initial power up of the AP. The pole or wall can be a structure that
is at ground level or on a roof. The XH2 is not compatible with
other Xirrus mounting options. For additional information, see the Wireless AP User's Guide.
The XH2 Series includes the XH2-120 (Model XH2120). This document is intended ONLY for
XH2 model APs. For other models please see the installation guide for that model series.
You Need the Following Items
Professional Installation Required—regulatory requirements for the XH2-120 mandate that
the device be installed and configured for use by trained professionals only. Direct questions
regarding installation and use of the product s to Xirrus Customer Support (see last page).
Accessory Kit (included in each AP carton) includes:
Mounting bracket and eight attachment screws
Grounding screw
Two watertight RJ connector assemblies
Appropriate tools, bands, screws, and/or anchors required for the desired mounting
location (not provided with the AP).
Antennas and cables for two radios, to be installed by a professional installer. Cables are
low-loss outdoor-rated coaxial cables terminated with N-type male connectors (e.g., Xirrus
part number ANT-CAB-195-10-MM-02). Note that some antennas include integrated cables
as part of the unit, and these do not need separate cables.
See Xirrus External Antenna Guide for recommended antennas. If you are not using one of the
recommended antennas, the XH2-120’s output power setting must be reduced by 1 dB for
every dB above 6dBi gain the selected antenna may produce.
Grounding wire and lug. If lightning surges are a concern, consider using a lighting arrestor.
Workstation with a Web browser to configure the AP.
RJ-45 Ethernet connection(s) to your wired network.
Gigabit1/PoE+ —XH2-120 APs are powered via one Power over Ethernet (PoE) port using
an outdoor-rated Ethernet Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable that also carries data traffic. Use only 802.3at
1
XH Outdoor Access Points
2
PoE+ compliant switches or power injectors, or a Xirrus-supplied PoE injector (the 30W
XP1-MSI-30, or current models rated at 70W or higher).
(Optional) GIGABIT2—Connection to this second, data-only Gigabit port provides
additional bandwidth. Use Cat 5E or Cat 6 cable.
The AP protects its inputs from typical static charge buildup on antennas. In areas where
lightning surges are a concern, a lightning arrestor may be used between the antenna and
the AP, with 6 AWG copper wire from the arrestor to a good earth ground.
NOTE: PoE Injectors and switches must be installed and used indoors.
NOTE: If XH2 models are used indoors, they are to be connected only to PoE networks
without routing to the outside plant.
NOTE: The AP comes with plastic covers installed on Ethernet and antenna ports. You
MUST leave these covers securely installed on unused ports to prevent weather damage.
Choose a Suitable Location
The XH2-120 is tested to IP65 waterproof and dust-proof requirements to protect against
severely wet and dusty environments. For optimal placement, we recommend that a predictive
survey be performed by a qualified Xirrus partner.
Choose a location that is not subjected to submersion.
Direct sunlight may raise the effective ambient temperature many degrees above air
temperature. It is best to choose a location that has some protection from the sun.
The maximum cable length between the XH2-120 and the RJ-45 Ethernet network is 100
meters. The PoE injector is not a repeater, so its location will not increase this distance.
The XH2-120 can operate from a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) link. However, the
unit will need to be configured via the Ethernet connection prior to mounting and power
must still be supplied via the GIG1 Ethernet connector.
Keep the unit away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise—at least
3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters).
The AP must be installed in a position so that the LED’s cover is not directly affected by
the Sun's radiation (typically with the LED and Ethernet connectors facing down).
Prepare the Mounting Location
The installation must ensure that the AP is grounded to earth ground to dissipate any static
electric charge that may develop due to wind.

Determine a good electrical earth ground point near the AP mounting location. If an
earth ground point is not available, consult an electrician to have one installed.
Before the AP is attached to a wall or pole, secure a grounding wire and lug to the AP
with the provided screw in the location indicated in the illustration.
Attach the Mounting Plate to the AP
The accessory kit includes a mounting plate. Mounting plate dimensions are included in
“Physical/Environmental Specifications” on page 12. The mounting plate can be used for wall
or pole mounting by reversing the side of the plate exposed. Attach the mounting plate to the
AP using the eight provided screws in the locations indicated below (secure in at least 4 places).
For Wall Mounting:
For Wall Mounting, position the bracket with the four slotted flanges pointed towards the AP,
as shown in Step 3, above.
For Pole Mounting:
For Pole Mounting, position the bracket with the four slotted flanges pointed away from the
AP, as shown below.

Mount the AP on a Pole or Wall
5a—Pole Mounting
For pole mounting, Xirrus recommends using metal straps (not included with the AP). The
metal straps can be obtained from BAND-IT-IDEX, Inc. (www.BAND-IT-IDEX.com). See their
web site for additional contact information. Complete the following steps to mount the AP to a
pole.
.
Install the metal bands through the holes in the mounting
bracket.
Note that the photos below show a different mounting
bracket. The steps for installation are identical, however.
Hand tighten the Band-It strap through the pole mounting
bracket, thread it through the strap buckle and then bend
the strap back.
Using the Band-It tool, place the tool onto the strap.
Rotate the Band-It tool so that it can pull the excess strap
through the buckle and turn the crank until the strap is
very tight.
5
XH Outdoor Access Points

Once the strap is satisfactorily tight, rotate the Band-It tool
back so that the strap cannot slide back through the
buckle.
Using the built in cutting tool on the Band-It tool, cut the
excess strap.
Your installation should now appear as shown here.
Using a hammer, bend back and flatten the remaining
strap.
Using a hammer, bend and flatten the two tabs on the
buckle to hold the flattened strap end in place.
The completed attachment should have the mounting
bracket firmly seated against the pole. One band should
be enough for most installations however a second band
can be used for additional mounting security.
XH Outdoor Access Points

5b—Wall Mounting
Place the AP in the desired location and mark the location of
the two mounting holes on the wall, as shown.
Drill and prepare the holes for the desired screw type. In
metal walls the holes may be tapped to the proper thread or
the AP may be mounted with sheet metal screws. For
concrete walls, a plastic anchor and screw are suggested.
NOTE: Mounting screws for attaching the plate to the wall
are not provided in the kit.
The AP should already be secured to the mounting plate
(Step 4). Mount the assembly to the wall, securing it at the two locations indicated.
Ground to Earth Ground
WARNING: This equipment must be externally grounded
using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is
applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable
grounding is available.
The mechanical installation must ensure that the AP is grounded to
earth ground to dissipate static electric charge that may develop
due to wind. In Step 3, you secured a grounding wire to the AP.
After Step 3 is complete and the AP is mounted to the wall or pole, attach the grounding
wire from the AP to the electrical earth ground point that you located or installed in Step
3. The photo shows an earth ground connection where the AP is mounted on a pole at
ground level and the grounding wire is attached to a stake driven into the ground.
Continue the installation by mounting the antenna and attaching the cables as described
in Steps 7, 8, and 9.

Install Antenna(s)
See the Xirrus External Antenna Guide for recommended antennas.
NOTE: See the Warnings and Notices regarding external antennas in “Notices, Warnings
& Compliance Statements” on page 13.
NOTE: Be sure to configure the AP's IAPs to the proper bands (2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz) in
Step 10. Each must match the band of the antenna to which it is connected.
Install your antenna(s) as directed by the manufacturer.
Use low-loss outdoor-rated coaxial cables terminated with male N type connectors (e.g.,
Xirrus part number ANT-CAB-195-10-MM-2). Note that some antennas include
integrated cables as part of the unit, and these do not need separate cables.
Connect the Ethernet Cable with the Waterproof Connector
Power: These APs are only powered through the GIG1 PoE+ port.
Data: Data is supplied to the GIG1-POE+ port via the same cable that powers the AP,
and a second optional connection to the GIG2 port.
NOTE: It is VERY IMPORTANT to assemble the waterproof connector properly,
following the directions below. Failure to do so may expose the AP to the elements, and
may result in an intermittent connection causing the AP to connect at very low speeds!
If you are not using GIG2, you MUST leave its plastic protector cap securely installed.
The Ethernet cable must be terminated with a simple RJ45 plug with the tab exposed, as
shown on the left below. Do not use a plug with a tab protector boot, as shown on the
right. This will not seat properly in the waterproof connector, and the assembly will not
be watertight.

Assemble the PoE connector. The components of the connector are shown in the photo
below in the order that they are placed onto the Ethernet cable, and also shown in more
detail as a color-coded drawing. You will perform a few assembly steps below before
sliding the parts onto the cable.
Seat the O-ring (shown in red) on the connector body (gray) at its RJ45 jack side.
Note the slots in the collar of the connector body and the matching tabs inside the
connector ring. Insert the connector body into the connector ring so that they mate.
Slide the sealing nut (shown in green) and the connector body assembly over the
Ethernet cable as shown.
Attach the split washer and split rubber grommet over the cable.
Seat the washer in the sealing nut and slide the grommet into the connector body.
XH Outdoor Access Points

Snug all of the components together as shown, but leave the RJ45 connector protruding.
Tighten the sealing nut lightly, making sure that the RJ45 connector is rotated so that it
will seat easily in the connector body later.
NOTE: Once you connect the AP's GIG1/POE port, an automatic upgrade typically
starts soon after the AP has Internet connectivity. Do not unplug this port while
booting or during the upgrade process or the AP may become inoperable. The upgrade
should take 10 minutes or less depending on bandwidth.
Plug the RJ45 connector into the GIG1 POE+ port on the bottom of the XH2-120, making
sure that its tab clicks in place for a secure connection. If power is being properly supplied to
the AP, the LED located between the two Ethernet ports will show blinking green. When
the boot has successfully completed, the LED will be solid green.
Seat the RJ45 connector correctly in the connector body.
Note the slotted track in the connector ring on the bottom of the AP and the matching
tabs inside the connector ring in the waterproof connector assembly, below. Screw the
assembly onto the AP's connector ring so that they mate securely.
Snug all the sections of the assembly together a final time and tighten the sealing nut on
the end to 5kg but not more than 8kg torque force to insure a water tight fit.
Repeat for the GIG2 port, if you are using it.

Connect the Antenna
The XH2-120 has four male Type N connectors for the antennas.
Both of the AP's RADIO1 cables (RADIO1 ANT1 and RADIO1 ANT2) must be attached to
antenna leads for the same frequency band (for example, 2.4GHz), and RADIO1 must be set to
that band on the AP (see Step 10). Similarly, both RADIO2 cables need to go to the same
frequency band on the antenna (for example, 5GHz). For simplicity, if you are using an antenna
with two 2.4GHz leads and two 5GHz leads, we suggest that you connect RADIO1 (ANT1 and
9
IAP1 ANT1 GIG2 LED GIG1 POE+ IAP1 ANT2
IAP2 ANT2 IAP2 ANT1
XH Outdoor Access Points
11
ANT2) to 2.4GHz on the antenna, and connect RADIO2 (ANT1 and ANT2) to 5GHz. Then you
must configure the AP to correspond in Step 10—set RADIO1 to the 2.4GHz band and RADIO2
to the 5GHz band.
NOTE: To use a 3x3 MIMO antenna type with the XH2-120, connect to the +45 and -45
antenna outputs. Do not use the connector marked “V”.
NOTE: For some MIMO omni-directional antennas where each of the individual
antennas is dual-band, it does not matter which lead is connected to which connector on
the AP. For example, the Xirrus ANT-OMNI-2x2-02 has four antenna leads that are not
differentiated in any way. The labels on all the leads are the same since each antenna is
dual-band and omni-directional.
Zero-Touch Provisioning and Ongoing Management
Most customers employ the Xirrus Management System (XMS) for the initial setup and
continuing management of Xirrus devices. XMS users can readily set up their new devices for
zero-touch provisioning and ongoing maintenance via the following platforms. Wait five
minutes after powering up the AP to automatically discover it, then use XMS to view and
manage it. Newly discovered APs are automatically assigned to the XMS “default” profile, and
will receive the configuration defined for that profile.
XMS-Cloud—performs zero-touch provisioning as shown in this quick video guide: http://
www.xirrus.com/TV/Training/XMS-cloud-Next-Generation. 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 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—automatically detects and provisions new Xirrus devices deployed in
your network via a similar zero-touch provisioning approach. Create and configure a
default profile for newly added APs—these new devices will automatically receive the
configuration defined in your default profile.
If you are not using XMS, please see the Xirrus Wireless AP User's Guide to configure your
AP manually via the Express Setup menu option. The User Guide is available from http://
support.xirrus.com (login required). Select the Libraries tab and click the ArrayOS—XR

standards, the system should only be operated with Xirrus approved antennas and accessories.
Declaration on Conformity
This access point product has been found to be compliant to the requirements set forth in CFR
47 Section 1.1307 addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices as defined in
Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields.
Use is permitted with antennas having an effective maximum gain of 9 dBi in the 2.4 GHz band
and 6 dBi in the 5 GHz band. Antennas having a gain greater than this are strictly prohibited for
use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. Effective maximum gain is
antenna gain minus cable loss. A minimum separation distance of 26 cm between the antenna
and all persons is required during normal operation.
Only antennas provided by Xirrus for use with the product should be installed. The use of any
other antennas may cause damage to the access points or violate regulatory emission limits and
will not be supported by Xirrus.
International Guidelines for Exposure to Radio Waves
The Xirrus Access Points include radio transmitters and receivers. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended
by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific
organization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
As such the systems are designed to be operated as to avoid contact with the antennas by the
end user. It is recommended to set the system in a location where the antennas can remain at
least a minimum distance as specified from the user in accordance to the regulatory guidelines
which are designed to reduce the overall exposure of the user or operator.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for the use of wireless devices. They recommend that if you
are interested in further reducing your exposure then you can easily do so by reorienting
