Wi-Fi ArrayInstalling the Wi-Fi Array 53Wiring ConsiderationsUnless you are using the Xirrus Power over Gigabit Ethernet modules (PoGE)with an Array that supports PoGE, an AC power outlet must be available to theArray. If you are using PoGE to distribute power, see “Power over GigabitEthernet (PoGE) (Optional)” on page 10.Once you have determined the best location for your Wi-Fi Array, you must runcables to the location for the following services:PowerOne of the following options:z No power cable is required if using PoGE modules.z Dedicated AC power if PoGE is not in use. You must use a UL-approved cord. Order the power cord from the Xirrus productlist—Xirrus supplies only UL-approved power cords.Networkz Gigabit 1—If using PoGE modules, the Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable fromthe Gigabit Ethernet switch to the Array must be less than 100mlong. The Array must be connected to PoGE networks withoutrouting cabling to the outside plant, to ensure that cabling is notexposed to lightning strikes or possible high voltage crossover.z Gigabit 2 (optional)z Fast Ethernet (optional)z Serial cable— cable lengths up to 25’ per the RS-232 specification.Important Notes About Network ConnectionsRead the following notes before making any network connections.# When the unit’s IP address is unknown or a network connection has notbeen established, the serial cable is used for connecting directly with theCommand Line Interface (CLI) via HyperTerminal. When a networkconnection is established, the Array can be managed from any of theavailable network connections, either Fast Ethernet, Gigabit 1 or Gigabit 2.
