Wireless Controller System
with High Power AC1900
Dual-Band Wireless APs
XWS-2510

Package Contents:
„„

XWC-1000 Wireless Controller
(Includes Rack Mount Kit and Power Cord)

„„

XAP-1510 Access Points (2)

„„

PoE Injectors (2)

Access Point Firmware: If you are using APs other than those included in
this kit, ensure that firmware is v5 or newer. Visit the AP Firmware upgrade
page at luxul.com/ap-upgrade for details.

Firmware Updates: The XWC-1000 Wireless Controller automatically
checks for firmware updates of Controller-compatible APs and the Wireless
Controller itself, but requires Internet access to do so. The Controller will
operate without the Internet access, but firmware updates will be unavailable.

Physical Installation

The XWC-1000 and XAP-1510 access points are designed for simple and efficient
installation and setup. The XAP-1510’s can be mounted on the ceiling, wall or
placed on a desktop or shelf, while the XWC-1000 can be rack-mounted or
placed on a horizontal surface.

ccCaution: Attach the rubber feet to the AP mount and attach
the mount to the AP for flat surface placement to avoid
overheating and failure.
XX

Connecting Devices: The XWC-1000 Wireless Controller simply connects
to the network. The XAP-1510 APs connect to the network via the included
PoE Injectors or a 802.3at compliant PoE switch (see diagram on next page).

Controller Setup Sequence: Be sure to set up the XWC-1000 Wireless
Controller BEFORE powering up the APs. Once logged into the Wireless
Controller, the Setup Wizard will prompt you when it is time to add the APs
to the network. A DHCP server is required on the network.
Accessibility: Once an AP is managed by the XWC-1000 Wireless Controller,
AP web interface functionality is reduced. To change an AP from Controllermanaged to standalone (or the reverse), restore the AP to Factory Default.

Access Point Placement: Place APs to ensure adequate coverage, but not
so far apart that there is no signal overlap. You may have to experiment
with AP placement to optimize the roaming experience. The APs should
overlap enough that the client device has a good connection to the AP
to which it is currently attached, but also sees the next-nearest AP.

AP

AP

Ideally, roaming clients
should see signal strength
of two overlapping APs in
the range of -60 to -70
dBm at the midway point
between two APs.

nnNote: Visit luxul.com/ap-placement for more detail on how
to select and optimize AP placement.
nnNote: Consider using Ekahau HeatMapper to assist with this
process, available from www.ekahau.com. Luxul also offers
an informative “How-To” video on HeatMapper at luxul.

Preparing for Access

IP Addressing
If the XWC-1000 is connected to a network with a 192.168.0.X address
scheme, and your computer shares a similar address on the same network,
you can skip to the next step, Getting Connected.

nnNote: Be sure a DHCP server is present on the network and
that all Luxul APs and the XWC-1000 Wireless Controller will
share the same subnet.
If your network doesn’t use a 192.168.0.X IP address scheme, you will need
to manually change the IP address of your computer to be able to configure the XWC-1000 Wireless Controller so that it is on the same subnet as
your network. For help setting the IP address of your particular operating
system, visit luxul.com/ip-addressing.

Getting Connected

Access the Setup Wizard by opening your web browser and enter the Wireless
Controller’s default 192.168.0.19 IP address in the address field. Log in to the
Wireless Controller using the default user name and password:
Default IP: 192.168.0.19
Username: admin
Password: admin

ccCaution: If there is another device on the network already
using the 192.168.0.19 address, you’ll need to either temporarily
disconnect or reconfigure that other device, or manually
configure the Wireless Controller with a different address
on a separate isolated network.

Wireless Controller Configuration

Selecting front-panel LED color
Use the switch on the rear panel of the XWC-1000 Wireless
Controller to switch the Power and System LEDs on the
front panel between green and blue to best match the
equipment in the rack where the Wireless Controller is
sharing space.

Resetting the Controller
XX

XX

Follow the built-in Setup Wizard in the Wireless Controller. The Wizard will walk
you through creating a configuration profile, then it will automatically configure
and manage all available APs on the same network. You may add or remove APs
to or from the managed profile at any time.

ttSmart Tip: For more information on setup and configuration
best practices, visit luxul.com/smart-tips.

Hardware Operation - Wireless Controller

XX

Reset/Reboot: Use a paper clip to briefly press and
release the Reset button on the rear panel of the
Controller to force it to reboot. The front panel LEDs will
go dark once the button is released, then the System LED
will blink slowly while the controller reboots.
Restore Factory Defaults: To restore the controller to Factory Default
configuration, press and hold the Reset button for at least 5 seconds. The
System LED will blink quickly to indicate that the Controller is returning to
Factory Default configuration, go dark for a few seconds, then blink slowly
while the controller boots.
Normal Operation: When the controller is operating normally, the System
LED will blink like a heartbeat, i.e. blink-blink-pause.

ccCAUTION: Pressing and holding the Reset button will restore
the Wireless Controller to factory default and
remove any custom configuration.

Hardware Operation - Wireless Access Points

LED Indicators
If the green power LED is ON, the XAP-1510 is working. If
the Power LED is OFF, the AP is not receiving power or
the LED has been turned off in the AP’s web interface. If
the power LED is blinking, the XAP-1510 is booting. The
two blue LEDs indicate indicate each of the 2.4GHz and
5GHz networks are configured and broadcasting.
Reset Button:
The Reset button is located underneath the mount and
marked RESET. It may be used to reboot the AP or to
restore factory default settings.
To Reboot the AP: With the XAP-1510 powered on, simply
press and release the Reset button.
To Restore the Default Settings: With the XAP-1510 powered on, press and
hold the Reset button for at least 5 seconds. Release the button, the LED
will flash rapidly and the XAP-1510 will be set to factory defaults.

ccCAUTION: Pressing and holding the Reset button will restore
the AP to factory default and remove any custom
configuration.
PoE Injector: If the Green ON LED is illuminated, power is connected to the
injector. If the ON LED is not lit, the injector is not receiving power.
