22 Installing the Wireless Array
 Secure Shell (SSH) utility
To establish secure remote command line access to the Array, you need a
Secure Shell (SSH) utility, such as PuTTY. The utility must be configured
to use SSH-2, since the Array will only allow SSH-2 connections.
 Secure Web browser
Either Internet Explorer (version 7.0 or higher), Mozilla Firefox (version
3.0 or higher), Chrome (version 3.0 or higher), or Safari (version 5.0 or
higher). A secure Web browser is required for Web-based management of
the Array. The browser must be on the same subnet as the Array, or you
must set a static route for management as described in the warning
above.
 Serial connection capability
To connect directly to the console port on the Array (all models except
XR-1000 Series), your computer must be equipped with a male 9-pin
serial port and terminal emulation software (for example,
HyperTerminal). The Xirrus Array only supports serial cable lengths up
to 25’ per the RS-232 specification.
Use the following settings when establishing a serial connection:

The Array’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.
