Install Included Rubber Feet in the Impressions in the bottom of the XAP-1230
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 & Power Out: Connect an Ethernet cable from the Data & Power 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 to be 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.”

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
The device complies with internationally recognized standards covering human exposure to elec-
tromagnetic fields from radio devices. This equipment also complies with FCC radiation exposure
set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC
radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20 cm (8
inches) during normal operation.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could cause damage and may violate regula-
tory approvals. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the authority to operate the equipment.
The equipment version marketed in the U.S. is restricted to usage of channels 1-11 only.
Health and Safety Recommendations
Warnings for the use of Wireless Devices: Please observe all warning notices with regard to the
usage of wireless devices
Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres: You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the
use of radio devices in fuel depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders).
Safety in Hospitals: Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical
electrical equipment. When installed adjacent to other equipment, it is advised to verify that the
adjacent equipment is not adversely affected.
RF Exposure Guidelines
Safety Information: The device complies with internationally recognized standards covering
human exposure to electromagnetic fields from radio devices.
Warning: Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation:
The radiated output of this device is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless,
the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal
operation is minimized.
The end user must avoid any extended human RF exposure directly in front
of the device, up to a distance of 20cm, when unit is on.

When servicing the equipment and selecting a location for the antennas, it is important to note
that a minimum distance of 20cm is required between personnel and the device or antenna to
comply with the radio frequency exposure limit.
The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at
least 20cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
Do not touch or move the antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching
any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; this
behavior may cause damage to the radio.
