Xirrus XR Series User Manual

Wireless Access Point
30 Installing the Wireless AP
depending on the model (see “XR Wireless AP Product Family” on
page 5).
 Secure Shell (SSH) utility
To establish secure remote command line access to the AP, you need a
Secure Shell (SSH) utility, such as PuTTY. The utility must be configured
to use SSH-2, since the AP will only allow SSH-2 connections.
 Secure Web browser
Xirrus supports the latest version of the following Browsers: Internet
Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, or Safari. A secure Web browser is
required for Web-based management of the AP. The browser must be on
the same subnet as the AP, or you must set a static route for management
as described in the warning above.
 Serial connection capability
A serial port (console) is present on most XR-2000 models and all larger
XR series models. The Xircon utility can be used in place of a console
port—see the Xircon User’s Guide. To connect directly to the console port
on the AP, your computer must be equipped with a male 9-pin serial port
and terminal emulation software (for example, HyperTerminal). The
Xirrus AP only supports serial cable lengths up to 25’ per the RS-232
specification.
Use the following settings when establishing a serial connection:
!
The AP’s Ethernet ports should be connected to an Ethernet switch, not an
Ethernet hub — if a hub is used, we recommend that you do not bond-pair
Ethernet ports.
