Wireless Access Point
16 Introduction
Power over Ethernet (POE)
Some smaller APs (XR-2000 models ending in “5” or “6”, and XR-500/600 Series)
are compatible with IEEE802.3af and/or IEEE802.3at PoE+, and may be
connected to appropriate powered switches. For example, the Xirrus XT-5024 and
XT-5048 are 24-and 48-port 802.3at POE+ managed switches. See the Installation
Guide for the AP for compatible injectors or powered switches.
POE modules provide power to APs over the same Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable used for
data. Managed modules provide the ability to control power using XMS.

Enterprise Class Management
The Wireless AP can be used with its default settings, or it can be initially
configured using zero touch cloud-based automated provisioning. Settings may
also be customized using the AP’s embedded WMI. The WMI enables easy
