airFiber™ Quick Start Guide
Installation Requirements
•17 mm wrench
•13 mm socket wrench or driver
•Clear line of sight between airFiber radios
•Clear view of the sky for proper GPS operation
•Mounting location with < 0.5° displacement due to twist and sway under wind loading
•Mounting point:
•At least 1 meter below the highest point on the structure
•For tower installations, at least 3 meters below the top of the tower
•Ground wire – min. 8 AWG (10 mm2), max. length: 1 meter
•(Recommended) 2 Outdoor GigE PoE surge protectors
Note: For guidelines about grounding and lightning protection, follow your local electrical regulatory codes.
•Outdoor, shielded Category 5e (or above) cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections. Category 6 is required for installations with long cable runs (up to 100 m).
We recommend that you protect your networks from the most brutal environments and devastating ESD attacks with industrial grade shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable
Installation Overview
We recommend that you configure your paired airFiber radios before mounting. To configure device settings in the airFiber Configuration Interface, you will need to connect Power over Ethernet to the DATA port and connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and the CONFIG port. Once you have completed configuration, disconnect the cables to move the airFiber radios, and then reconnect at the site. After you have mounted the airFiber radios, then you can establish and optimize the RF link.
