Installation Prerequisites
Your XS-3900 deployment requires the presence of hardware and services in the
host wired/wireless network, including:
z Dedicated AC power outlet
Unless you are using the Xirrus Remote DC Power System (XP-3100) with
the DC version of the XS-3900, you need a dedicated power outlet to
supply AC power to each unit deployed at the site. If you are using the
optional XP-3100, then DC power is supplied to all units and only one AC
outlet is required for the XP-3100.
z Ethernet port
You need at least one 10/100/1000 BaseT port to establish wired Gigabit
Ethernet connectivity (via the product’s Gigabit 1 or Gigabit 2 port) and
one 10/100 BaseT port (if desired) for wired Fast Ethernet connectivity.
z Secure Shell (SSH) utility
To establish secure remote command line access to the XS-3900, you need
a Secure Shell (SSH) utility, such as PuTTY.
