XH Outdoor Access Points

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

XH Outdoor Access Points

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.

XH Outdoor Access Points

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.

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.

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.

XH Outdoor Access Points

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.

XH Outdoor Access Points

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.
