XR-2425H Quick Installation Guide
XR-2425H Quick Installation Guide
The XR-2425H Hardened Wireless Array provides Xirrus wireless
technology in a hardened case for installation outdoors and in other
harsh environments. This guide describes how to install the XR-2425H
on a pole or wall and execute the initial power up of the Array. The
pole or wall can be a structure that is installed at ground level or on a
roof. The XR-2425H is not compatible with other Xirrus mounting
options. For additional information, see the Wireless Array User’s Guide.
This document is intended ONLY for XR-2425H model Arrays. For other XR models
please see the Quick Installation Guide for that model series.
1) You Need the Following Items
Accessory Kit (included in each Wireless Array carton) includes:
Mounting bracket and four 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 Array).
Antennas for up to four radios, to be installed by a professional installer. Antennas must
meet these criteria:
Omni-directional antenna gain must not exceed 5 dBi in 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.
Directional antenna gain must not exceed:
- 12.1 dBi gain in 2.4 GHz band.
- 11.2 dBi gain in 5150-5350 MHz band.
- 11.1 dBi gain in 5470-5725 MHz band.
- 11.0 dBi gain in 5725-5850 MHz band.
Furthermore, in DFS bands (5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz) all antenna types
must have at least 5 dBi gain. Note that this restricts omni-drictional antennas to
those with exactly 5 dBi gain in DFS bands.
Grounding wire and lug
Workstation with a Web browser to configure the Wireless Array.
RJ-45 Ethernet connection(s) to your wired network.
PowerXR-2425H Arrays are powered via Power over Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE) using an
outdoor-rated Ethernet Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable that also carries data traffic. Only Xirrus-
supplied power injectors, or 802.3at PoE-compliant switches, may be used to power the XR-

2425H. The XR-2425H is powered by one injector port rated at 30W or higher. See the
Installation Guide for your PoE device for more information.
NOTE: Xirrus-supplied PoGE Injectors and switches must be installed and used
indoors.
2) Choose a Suitable Location
The XR-2425H is tested to IP65 water proof 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 XR-2425H and the RJ-45 Ethernet Network is 100
meters. The PoGE Injector is not a repeater, so its location will not increase this distance.
The XR-2425H 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 RJ-45 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).
3) Prepare a Ground Source
Part of the mechanical installation is to ensure that the Array 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 Array mounting location. If an
earth ground point is not available, consult an electrician to have one installed.
Before the Array is attached to a wall or pole, secure a grounding wire and lug to the Array
with the provided screw in the location indicated by the arrow, below.

4) Attach the Mounting Plate to the Array
The accessory kit includes a mounting plate. Mounting plate dimensions are included in the
Drawings section at the end of this guide. 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 Array
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 Array, as shown below.
For Pole Mounting:
For Pole Mounting, position the bracket with
the four slotted flanges pointed away from the
Array, as shown below.
5) Mount the Array on a Pole or Wall
5a) Pole Mounting
For pole mounting, Xirrus recommends using metal straps (not included with the Array). 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 Array 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.
XR-2425H Quick Installation Guide
- 4 -
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.
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.
XR-2425H Quick Installation Guide
- 5 -
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.
5b) Wall Mounting
Place the Array in the desired location and mark the location of the bracket’s 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 alternatively the Array 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 Array should already be secured to the mounting
plate (Step 4). Mount the assembly to the wall, securing it
at the two locations indicated.

6) 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 Array 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 Array (see Step 3 if this has not been done).
After Step 3 is complete and the Array is mounted to the wall or pole, attach the grounding
wire from the Array to the electrical earth ground point that you located or installed in Step
3. The photo shows an earth ground connection where the Array is mounted on a pole 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.
7) Install Antennas
NOTE: See the Warnings and Notices regarding external antennas in the Warning &
Notices section of this guide.
NOTE: Be sure to configure the Array’s IAPs to the proper bands (2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz).
Each must match the band of the antenna to which it is connected.
Have your antennas installed by a professional installer as directed by the manufacturer.
Use Xirrus cables, part number ANT-CAB-195-10-MM. Note that some antennas include
integrated cables as part of the unit, and these do not need separate cables.
8) Connect the Ethernet Cable with the Waterproof Connector
All XR-2425H Arrays are powered directly via a Gigabit Ethernet connection. See the figure in
Step 9 for the names of all ports.
Power: These Arrays are only powered through the GIG1 POE port. Only Xirrus-supplied
power injectors or 802.3at PoE-compliant switches may be used to power the XR-2425H.
Data: Data is supplied to the GIG1 POE port via the same cable that powers the Array.
Additional data bandwidth may be supplied by using GIG2 as well.
NOTE: It is VERY IMPORTANT to assemble the waterproof connector properly,
following the directions below. Failure to do so may expose the Array to the elements,
and may result in an intermittent connection causing the Array to connect at very low
speeds!
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.
XR-2425H Quick Installation Guide

This will not seat properly in the waterproof connector, and the assembly will not be
watertight.
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.
XR-2425H Quick Installation Guide
- 8 -
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.
Plug the RJ45 connector into the port on the bottom of the XR-2425H, making sure that its
tab clicks in place for a secure connection.
Seat the RJ45 connector correctly in the connector body.
Note the slotted track in the connector ring on the bottom of the Array and the matching
tabs inside the connector ring in the waterproof connector assembly, below. Screw the
assembly onto the Array’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.
XR-2425H Quick Installation Guide
- 9 -
9) Connect the Antenna
The XR-2425H has eight RP-TNC connectors for the antennas, two for each of the four IAPs.
Both of the antenna connectors for each IAP (for example, IAP1 ANT1 and IAP1 ANT2) must
be attached to antenna leads for the same frequency band (for example, 5GHz), and that IAP
must be set to that band on the Array. Thus, you must configure the Array to correspond: set
each IAP to the correct frequency band using the Xirrus Management System (XMS) or the
Array’s CLI or Web Management Interface (WMI).
NOTE: To use a 3x3 MIMO antenna with the XR-2425H, 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 Array.
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 omnidirectional.
The opening beneath the Gigabit connectors is a weatherproof air pressure valve to relieve
high- or low-pressure conditions within the sealed chassis.

10) 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.
XMS Cloud Next Generation (XMS-CL-9500-x)
XMS in the Cloud performs zero-touch provisioning as shown in this quick video guide:
http://www.xirrus.com/TV/Training/XMS-Cloud-Next-Generation. Your new Arrays/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 Arrays/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 Array/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 Array/AP to the latest software version as appropriate.
XMS Enterprise
(Also available as a Cloud-deployed solution: XMS-9000-CL-x) This platform 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
Arrays/APs – these new devices will automatically receive the configuration defined in your
default profile.
If you are not using XMS, new devices can be auto-provisioned via the Xirrus Mobilize platform
(pre-order required) as shown in this video: http://www.xirrus.com/TV/Training/Mobilize-
Training. Your welcome email will contain login/account information.
