XR-2425H Quick Installation Guide
XR-2425H Quick Installation Guide
The XR-2425H Hardened Wireless Array provides Xirrus wireless
technology in a hardened case for installation outdoors and in other
harsh environments. This guide describes how to install the XR-2425H
on a pole or wall and execute the initial power up of the Array. The
pole or wall can be a structure that is installed at ground level or on a
roof. The XR-2425H is not compatible with other Xirrus mounting
options. For additional information, see the Wireless Array User’s Guide.
This document is intended ONLY for XR-2425H model Arrays. For other XR models
please see the Quick Installation Guide for that model series.
1) You Need the Following Items

Accessory Kit (included in each Wireless Array carton) includes:

Mounting bracket and four 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 Array).

Antennas for up to four radios, to be installed by a professional installer. Antennas must
meet these criteria:

Omni-directional antenna gain must not exceed 5 dBi in 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

Directional antenna gain must not exceed:
- 12.1 dBi gain in 2.4 GHz band.
- 11.2 dBi gain in 5150-5350 MHz band.
- 11.1 dBi gain in 5470-5725 MHz band.
- 11.0 dBi gain in 5725-5850 MHz band.

Furthermore, in DFS bands (5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz) all antenna types
must have at least 5 dBi gain. Note that this restricts omni-drictional antennas to
those with exactly 5 dBi gain in DFS bands.

Grounding wire and lug

Workstation with a Web browser to configure the Wireless Array.

RJ-45 Ethernet connection(s) to your wired network.

Power—XR-2425H Arrays are powered via Power over Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE) using an
outdoor-rated Ethernet Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable that also carries data traffic. Only Xirrus-
supplied power injectors, or 802.3at PoE-compliant switches, may be used to power the XR-
