Connecting the Ethernet Cable
With the XAP-1230 properly mounted and the Antennas installed, you can now
plug the Ethernet Cable into the RJ-45 connector.
NOTE: Category-5, super Category-5 or Category-6 unshielded twisted
pair (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 UTP) cables can be used. For best
results, it is recommended that Category-6 shielded twisted pair
be used to ensure stable data transmission at highest data rates.
Connecting to the Power Source
The XAP-1230 is PoE ready and supports 802.3at PoE. A PoE injector is included
with the device. To apply power, simply connect the opposite end of the Ethernet
cable to which the access point is already connected to the provided PoE injector
or other PoE switch or injector. An Ethernet cable length of up to 300 feet can be
used. DO NOT yet apply power to the PoE injector or switch.
PoE Injector Setup
Data In: Connect an Ethernet cable from your router or switch
to the Data In port of the included PoE Injector
Data & PWR Out: Connect an Ethernet cable from the Data & PWR Out
port of the included PoE Injector to the PoE Port of the XAP-1230
AC Power: Connect the included AC Cord to the Power Input of the Included
Injector first and then to the AC outlet.
NOTE: The XAP-1230 is not a router and will need to be connected to
a network with a router in order to deliver Internet access.

CONFIGURATION
Default IP Address
The XAP-1230 is not equipped with internal DHCP server. If connected to a Luxul
Router, configuration will be automatic. Otherwise, the IP address of the computer
for login and configuration will need to be manually configured. The table below
lists the default parameters of the XAP-1230.
Parameter: Default Value
Default IP address: 192.168.0.10
Default user name: admin
Default password: admin
The Luxul Xen XAP-1230 default IP addresss is 192.168.0.10. If the IP address of your
router is not set to the 192.168.0.X network, a temporary static IP address must be
set on the computer being used for configuration. To do so, set the IP address of
the computer to the 192.168.0.X range and then use the default IP address of your
XAP-1230 as the Gateway/Router. Once configured, set the computer IP configura-
tion back to “Obtain Automatically/DHCP.”
