XR-620

*Note

AP7.0.2 Build: 4948
AP + controller
no speed control

Note:  AP by Xirrus is a separate modular device containing both the controller and radio control modules.

 *Note by vendor: by testing with the XR-600, you cover interoperability with all Xirrus products, except the X2 & XR-320

...

Version XR-620 has two independent radio modules operating on either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz switchable in management. The device is fully compatible with SOCIFI. This unit has a throughput of about 867 Mbps and serves 240 users (120 per one radio). On the market there are more powerful units. A DHCP server uses an external DHCP server in the network where it is connected, you can define internal DHCP server. The configuration is then more complex. 

MAC address for administration

MAC address, needed for setting in the SOCIFI Dashboard, is available after sign in to the web portal of device management console. In the tab Array / Information MAC addresses are listed next to the names of Ethernet interface, specifically for values Gigabit 1 and Gigabit 2. During the tests it was proofed that both gigabit interfaces are standardly connected to 802.3ad Trank, so that they are presented in the admin system only by the MAC address port Gigabit 1.

 Setting SSID, Hotspot, Radius Server and WalledGarden

Setting of these services can be found in the menu SSIDs / SSID Management. Given that the SSID of the network can not be edited later, it is necessary to know the desired name in the beginning. Otherwise, you need to select the entire section again, including the gradual entry WalledGarden domain. Create SSID networks (in the table fill in the name next to the Create button and then click on to create). Then for the selected SSID enter the following parameters:


Enabled:✔ check
Brdcst:✔ check
Band:select desired band or e.g. Both
VLAN ID:select (none)
VLAN ID/Number:leave empty
QoS:select 0
DHCP Pool:select (none)

Encryption/Authentication:select None/Open
Encryption/Authentication/Global:do not check
Xirrus Roaming:select Off
WPR:✔ check
Fallback:select None
Mobile Device Management:select None


In paragraph SSID Limits do not restrict anything, leave everything at the default settings:

Stations:set unlimited
Overall Trafic (Packet/Sec):✔ check Unlimited
Overall Trafic (Kbps):✔ check Unlimited
Trafic per Stations (Packet/Sec):✔ check Unlimited
Trafic per Stations (Kbps):✔ check Unlimited
Days Active:✔ check all (Everyday, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat)
Time Active:✔ check Always

 


Paragraph Web Page Redirect Configuration set according to the following options:
