Chapter 2: Installation
Link Planning
Before you install the airFiber AF-24, there are a few items to consider:
• Humidity and rain
• Point-to-Point (PtP), daisy chain, or ring configuration
• Co-Location
Humidity and Rain
Consider the impact of humidity and rain on your link. Radio waves in the 24 GHz band encounter additional atmospheric attenuation beyond that which is expected in free space due to water absorption, including rain
fade. A general guideline is an additional loss of 1 to 3dB
per kilometer. The amount of additional atmospheric attenuation will vary, depending on your specific installation environment (the world has a variety of
rainfallzones).
Here is a hypothetical example: if your link is exposed to a 25 mm/hr (0.98 in/hr) rate of rainfall, it may have an additional loss of up to 4 dB/km (6.45 dB/mi).
The table below illustrates the estimated additional attenuation at various rainfall rates and distances. This information was derived from
FCC Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin #70.
Estimated Additional Attenuation at Various Rain Rates andDistances
Distance 1.25 mm/hr
1 km (0.62 mi)
2 km (1.2 mi)
3 km (1.9 mi)
4 km (2.5 mi)
5 km (3.1 mi)
(0.05 in/hr)
0.2 dB 0.7 dB 4 dB
0.4 dB 1.4 dB 8 dB
0.6 dB 2.1 dB 12 dB
0.8 dB 2.8 dB 16 dB
1 dB 3.5 dB 20 dB
5 mm/hr (0.20 in/hr)
25 mm/hr (0.98 in/hr)
Configuration
There are three typical configurations:
• PtP backhaul Uses two airFiber radios, one configured as Master and the other configured as Slave.
Point-to-Point Backhaul
• Daisy chain Uses multiple airFiber radios to extend the distance of a link, like a relay from point to point to point. The airFiber radios in the same node must use the same Wireless Mode (Master or Slave).
Master
Slave Slave
Daisy Chain Configuration
• Ring Uses multiple airFiber radios to form redundant paths. If one link goes down, the other links have an alternate route available. For each link, configure one airFiber radio as Master, and configure the other as Slave.

There are a variety of software programs available to help calculate rain attenuation. For more information about rain attenuation and rainfall zones, here are a couple of resources:
• The rain attenuation model described in ITU-R Recommendation P.530, Propagation data and
prediction methods required for the design of terrestrial line-of-sight systems, which is available at:
www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-P.530/en
• The rainfall zones described in ITU-R Recommendation P.837, Characteristics of precipitation for propagation modelling, which is available at:
http://www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-P.837/en

Ring Configuration
Co-Location
In most cases, co-location interference is not a concern because the beamwidth is narrow. You can co-locate multiple airFiber radios if they are pointed in different directions. Co-located airFiber radios must use the same Wireless Mode (Master or Slave). Back-to-back airFiber radios can use the same frequency. We recommend that you use different frequencies for adjacent airFiber radios; however, this is not a strict requirement.

Alignment
Tips
• Fine-tuning is best achieved by a pair of installers with
a dedicated, two-way communication link: one installer makes adjustments on one airFiber radio while the other installer reports the received signal level at the other airFiber radio. Fine-tuning (see “Fine-Tuning the Link” on page15) is necessary because the main lobe of the receiver is narrower than that of the transmitter, in both azimuth and elevation.
• To accurately align the airFiber radios for best
performance, you MUST align only one end of the link at a time.
• For more convenient alignment, you may consider using
long-range scopes (not included) temporarily attached to your airFiber radios.
• You may need to use additional hardware to
compensate for issues such as the improper orientation of a mounting pole or significant elevation differences between the airFiber radios.
Determining the Received Signal Level
There are three ways to determine the received signal level:
• LED Display (See the following section, Using the LED
Display.)
• airFiber Configuration Interface (See “Using the
airFiber Configuration Interface” on page15.)
• Audio tone (Optional equipment required. See “Using
the Audio Tone” on page18.)
Using the LED Display
Establishing a Preliminary Link
Adjust the positions of the Master and the Slave to establish a preliminary link. This requires the Master and Slave to be within a few degrees of the line of sight between the airFiber radios.
Note: The Master must be aimed first at the Slave
because the Slave does not transmit any RF signal until it detects transmissions from the Master.
1. For the Master and Slave, ensure the eight Lock Bolts on the Alignment Bracket are sufficiently loose by spinning each washer by hand.
WARNING: All Lock Bolts MUST be loose to avoid
damage to the airFiber housing.
2. For the Master and Slave, ensure the Azimuth (AZ) and Elevation (EL) Adjustment Bolts are in the middle of their
adjustmentranges.

5. Master Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the Master until the strongest received signal level is displayed on the LED Display of the Master.
a. Sweep the Azimuth (AZ) Adjustment Bolt of the
Master through its adjustment range.

Chapter 2: InstallationairFiber AF-24/AF-24HD User Guide
Fine-Tuning the Link
The Azimuth (AZ) and Elevation (EL) Adjustment Bolts of the Alignment Bracket adjust the azimuth and elevation within a range of ±10°. For accurate alignment, make adjustments on one end of the link while the other installer reports the received signal level at the other end of the link. Do NOT make simultaneous adjustments on the Master and Slave.
1. Slave Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the Slave until the other installer sees the strongest received signal level displayed on the LED Display of the Master.
2. Master Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the Master until the other installer sees the strongest received signal level displayed on the LED Display of the Slave.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you achieve a symmetric link, with the received signal levels within 1 dB of each other. This ensures the best possible data rate between the airFiber radios.
4. Lock the alignment on both airFiber radios by tightening all eight Lock Bolts on the Alignment Bracket.
5. Observe the LED Display on each airFiber AF-24 to ensure that the value remains constant while tightening the Lock Bolts. If the LED value changes during the locking process, loosen the Lock Bolts, finalize the alignment of each airFiber AF-24 again, and retighten the Lock Bolts.
6. For each airFiber AF-24, attach the Port Cover and turn the Cover Lock to the Locked icon.

Fine-Tuning the Link
The Azimuth (AZ) and Elevation (EL) Adjustment Bolts of the Alignment Bracket adjust the azimuth and elevation within a range of ±10°. For accurate alignment, make adjustments on one end of the link using the Signal Strengths for the airFiber radio at the other end of the link. Do NOT make simultaneous adjustments on the Master and Slave.
1. Slave Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the Slave until the other installer sees the strongest Signal Strengths for the Master.
2. Master Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the Master until the other installer sees the strongest Signal Strengths for the Slave.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you achieve a symmetric link, with the Signal Strengths within 1 dB of each other. This ensures the best possible data rate between the airFiber radios.
4. Lock the alignment on both airFiber radios by tightening all eight Lock Bolts on the Alignment Bracket.
Observe the Antenna Alignment window to ensure that the values remain constant while tightening the Lock Bolts. If the values change during the locking process, loosen the Lock Bolts, finalize the alignment of each airFiber AF-24 again, and retighten the Lock Bolts.
Note: If the Antenna Alignment window displays
“Overload” to indicate overload condition, see “RX
Gain” on page30 for more details about RX Gain and overload condition.

Using the Audio Tone
Before You Begin
Create your own cable adapter to connect the AUX port to your headphones or other listening device. The cable adapter requires two items:
• An RJ-12 cable with an RJ-12 connector
• A cable with a 3.5 mm, female, stereo phono jack (mono jack is acceptable)
1. Attach the wire from pin 6 of the RJ-12 cable to the
return or shield wire of the 3.5 mm jack.
2. Attach the wire from pin 5 of the RJ-12 cable to both
the left and right channel wires of the 3.5 mm stereo phono jack.
Note: For a mono jack, connect the wire from pin 5
to the + wire of the mono jack.

Establishing a Preliminary Link
Adjust the positions of the Master and the Slave to establish a preliminary link. This requires the Master and Slave to be within a few degrees of the line of sight between the airFiber radios.
Note: The Master must be aimed first at the Slave
because the Slave does not transmit any RF signal until it detects transmissions from the Master.
1. For the Master and Slave, ensure the eight Lock Bolts on the Alignment Bracket are sufficiently loose by spinning each washer by hand.

frequency settings and output power limits will be tuned according to the regulations of the selected country.
• Edit To select a new country, click Edit.
Note: U.S. product versions are locked to the U.S.
Country Code to ensure compliance with FCC regulations.
- Change Country Select the new country.
- I agree to these terms of use Check this box; you must agree to the Terms of Use to use the product.
- Accept Saves your change.
- Cancel Discards your change.
Duplex Select Half Duplex or Full Duplex. Half-duplex
operation provides more frequency planning options at the cost of higher latency and throughput. (Half-duplex mode allows communication in one direction at a time, alternating between transmission and reception.) Full-duplex operation provides the highest throughput and lowest latency; however, you have fewer frequency management options. (Full-duplex mode allows communication in both directions simultaneously.)
Note: For Half Duplex mode (default), the TX and RX
Frequencies on the same airFiber AF-24 can be the same or different to suit local interference. For Full Duplex mode, the TX and RX Frequencies on the same airFiber AF-24 should be different.
Master TX Duty Cycle Used to select the duty cycle of the
Master transmit link: 25%, 33%, 50%, 67%, or 75%.
Output Power (EIRP) Defines the maximum average
transmit output power (in dBm) of the airFiber AF-24. To specify the output power, manually enter the output power value. The transmit power level maximum is limited according to country regulations.
Maximum Modulation Rate / Modulation Rate Higher
modulations allow greater throughput but generally require stronger RF signals and a higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). By default, Automatic Rate Adaptation is enabled, and Maximum Modulation Rate is displayed. This allows the airFiber AF-24 to automatically adjust the modulation rate to changing RF signal conditions. Under certain conditions, you may prefer to lock the Maximum Modulation Rate to a lower setting to improve link performance.
When Automatic Rate Adaptation is disabled, Modulation Rate is displayed. Lock the Modulation Rate to the setting of your choice.
Select one of the available modulation rates:
• 8x (256QAM MIMO) (AF-24HD only)
• 6x (64QAM MIMO)
• 4x (16QAM MIMO)
• 2x (QPSK MIMO)
• 1x (QPSK SISO)
• ¼x (QPSK SISO)
RX Gain Select the appropriate gain for your RX antenna:
High (default) or Low. If the link is very short or being
tested, select Low, so your signal does not get distorted.
Note: Minimum link distance is approximately 100 m
(328 ft).
For links between 100 m (328 ft) and 800 m (2,625 ft):
• Target -40 dBm.
• Decrease RX Gain to overcome overload condition ( ).
• For short ranges or strong signal conditions, adjust the power to be 3-5 dB below overload condition ( ).
• Decrease RX Gain first.
• Never mitigate overload condition ( ) by misaligning antennas.

Chapter 6: Network Tab
The Network tab allows you to configure settings for the management network. There are two ways to access the airFiber Configuration Interface:
• Config Port Enabled by default. Use a direct connection to the Config port for out-of-band management.
• In-Band Management Enabled by default. In-band management is available through the local Data port or the Data port at the other end of the link.
The Config port and in-band management share the default IP address of 192.168.1.20.
Management Network Settings
In-Band Management Enabled by default. In-band
management is available through the local Data port or the Data port at the other end of the link.
Note: If In-Band Management is enabled, ensure that
each airFiber radio of a link has a unique IP Address. If the airFiber radios use the same IP Address, then you may lose access via the Data ports.
Management IP Address The AF-24 can use a static IP
address or obtain an IP address from its DHCP server.
• DHCP Keep the default, DHCP, to use DHCP reservation on your router to assign a unique IP Address. The local DHCP server function of the router assigns a dynamic IP address, gateway IP address, and DNS address to the airFiber AF-24.
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
Note: If you do not know the IP address, the only
way to manage the airFiber AF-24 is to reset it to its factory default settings. (Press and hold the Reset button for more than five seconds.) Its default Management IP Address is reset to
192.168.1.20.
- DHCP Fallback IP Specify the IP address the AF-24 should use if a DHCP server is not found.
- DHCP Fallback Netmask Specify the netmask the AF-24 should use if a DHCP server is not found.
• Static Assign static IP settings to the airFiber AF-24.
Note: IP settings should be consistent with the
address space of the AF-24’s network segment.
- IP Address Specify the IP address of the AF-24. This IP will be used for device management purposes.
33
Page 38
Chapter 6: Network Tab airFiber AF-24/AF-24HD User Guide
- Netmask When the netmask is expanded into its binary form, it provides a mapping to define which portions of the IP address range are used for the network devices and which portions are used for host devices. The netmask defines the address space of the airFiber AF-24’s network segment. The 255.255.255.0 (or “/24”) netmask is commonly used on many Class C IP networks.
- Gateway IP Typically, this is the IP address of the host router, which provides the point of connection to the internet. This can be a DSL modem, cable modem, or WISP gateway router. The airFiber AF-24 directs data packets to the gateway if the destination host is not within the local network.
- Primary DNS IP Specify the IP address of the primary DNS (Domain Name System) server.
- Secondary DNS IP Specify the IP address of the secondary DNS server. This entry is optional and used only if the primary DNS server is not responding.
Management VLAN If enabled, automatically creates a
management Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN).
• VLAN ID (Available if Management VLAN is enabled.) Enter a unique VLAN ID from 2 to 4094.
Auto IP Aliasing If enabled, automatically generates an
IP address for the corresponding WLAN/LAN interface. The generated IP address is a unique Class B IP address from the 169.254.X.Y range (netmask 255.255.0.0), which is intended for use within the same network segment only. The Auto IP always starts with 169.254.X.Y, with X and Y as the last two octets from the MAC address of the airFiber AF-24. For example, if the MAC address is 00:15:6D:A3:04:FB, then the generated unique Auto IP will be 169.254.4.251. (The hexadecimal value, FB, converts to the decimal value, 251.)
The Auto IP Aliasing setting can be useful because you can still access and manage devices even if you lose, misconfigure, or forget their IP addresses. Because an Auto IP address is based on the last two octets of the MAC address, you can determine the IP address of a device if you know its MAC address.
airView Port The port number associated with the
airView spectrum analyzer tool. The default value is 18888. For detailed information on the airView tool, refer to
“airView” on page 47.
Mgmt Speed This is the speed of the Management
port. By default, the option is Auto. The airFiberX radio automatically negotiates transmission parameters, such as speed and duplex, with its counterpart. In this process, the networked devices first share their capabilities and then choose the fastest transmission mode they both support.
To manually specify the maximum transmission link speed and duplex mode, select one of the following options: 100 Mbps-Full, 100Mbps-Half, 10 Mbps-Full, or 10Mbps-Half. If you are running extra long Ethernet cables, a link speed of 10Mbps could help to achieve better stability.
34
Full-duplex mode allows communication in both directions simultaneously. Half-duplex mode allows communication in one direction at a time, alternating between transmission and reception.
Data Port Ethernet Settings
Data Speed This is the speed of the Data port.
Thedefault is Auto, which allows the radio to operate at a speed of 1Gbps. The AF-24 radio automatically negotiates
transmission parameters, such as speed and duplex, with its counterpart. In this process, the networked devices first share their capabilities and then choose the fastest transmission mode they both support.
To manually specify the maximum transmission link speed and duplex mode, select one of the following options: 100 Mbps-Full, 100Mbps-Half, 10Mbps-Full, or 10Mbps-Half.
Full-duplex mode allows communication in both directions simultaneously. Half-duplex mode allows communication in one direction at a time, alternating between transmission and reception.
Flow Control If enabled, the AF-24 radio generates and
responds to Ethernet layer PAUSE frames. The AF-24 radio regulates inbound traffic from the customer’s network to avoid buffer overflows within the AF-24 radio. Flow control has the effect of controlling the inter-packet spacing of packets headed into the airFiber Data interface.
Multicast Filter If enabled, the filter blocks multicast
traffic from overloading the CPU when in-band management is enabled. This allows the AF-24 radio to be managed in-band when the customer’s network is carrying large volumes of multicast traffic, such as IPTV. The filter does not block multicast traffic going over the radio; it simply blocks it from reaching the AF-24 radio’s management interface CPU.
Ethernet Carrier Drop Settings
The Ethernet Carrrier Drop settings are used to control failover switching between the primary and backup link in response to capacity loss due to rain.
Carrier Drop Operation This setting is used to control
the Ethernet Carrier Drop feature. Settings are: Disabled, Enabled, and Use Pulse. The default is Disabled.
Use Pulse and Enabled are the two different methods used
to signal to the failover mechanism that it should switch to the backup link:
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
Page 39
• Use Pulse The LAN link is toggled off.
• Enabled The LAN link will be turned off and left off.
Pulse Duration (Available if Carrier Drop Operation is set
to Use Pulse.) This is the length of time that the LAN link remains down to trigger failover. The default is 5 seconds.
Block Data After Pulse (Available if Carrier Drop
Operation is set to Use Pulse.) Enable this option to stop
data from passing through the link when it is experiencing loss of capacity. The default is Off.
Enable Ethernet If No Session Enable this option to
allow management data (such as GUI, SNMP, and ping packets) to pass, even if the Block Data After Pulse option is enabled. The default is Off.
Wait for First Session Enable this option to cause the
system to wait until the Ethernet link has been successfully established following a power cycle, to keep the link from being dropped due to the throughput being below threshold. The default is Off.
First Session Validation Timer Use this setting to specify
how long to wait before triggering a link failure due to insufficient threshold capacity following a power cycle. The default is 0 seconds.
TX Capacity Low Threshold This is the minimum
allowable TX capacity; if the TX capacity goes below this threshold, the Ethernet link will be dropped. The default is 0 Mbps.
TX Capacity High Threshold This is the TX capacity
required before a dropped link can be declared to be operational again. The Ethernet link will remain down until the TX capacity reaches this threshold. The default is 0Mbps. This setting should be greater than the TX Capacity Low Threshold to avoid flutter and multiple OSPF convergences.
RX Capacity Low Threshold This is the minimum
allowable RX capacity; if the RX capacity goes below this threshold, the Ethernet link will be dropped. The default is 0 Mbps.
RX Capacity High Threshold This is the RX capacity
required before a dropped link can be declared to be operational again. The Ethernet link will remain down until the RX capacity reaches this threshold. The default is 0Mbps. This setting should be greater than the RX Capacity Low Threshold to avoid flutter and multiple OSPF convergences.
Low Threshold Timer This is the number of continuous
seconds that the radio must remain under the minimum TX or RX capacity threshold before the link is dropped. If set to 0, then as soon as capacity drops below a set limit, the Ethernet link will be dropped. The default is 0 seconds.
High Threshold Timer This is the number of continuous
seconds that the radio must remain above the maximum TX or RX capacity threshold before the link is declared operational again. The default is 0 seconds.

Chapter 7: Services Tab
The Services tab configures system management services: Ping Watchdog, SNMP Agent, Web Server, SSH Server, Telnet Server, NTP Client, Dynamic DNS, System Log, and Device Discovery.
Ping Watchdog
Ping Watchdog sets the airFiber AF-24 to continuously ping a user-defined IP address (it can be the internet gateway, for example). If it is unable to ping under the user-defined constraints, then the airFiber AF-24 will automatically reboot. This option creates a kind of “fail-proof” mechanism.
Ping Watchdog is dedicated to continuous monitoring of the specific connection to the remote host using the Ping tool. The Ping tool works by sending ICMP echo request packets to the target host and listening for ICMP echo response replies. If the defined number of replies is not received, the tool reboots the airFiber AF-24.
Ping Watchdog Enables use of Ping Watchdog.
• IP Address To Ping Specify the IP address of the target host to be monitored by Ping Watchdog.
• Ping Interval Specify the time interval (in seconds) between the ICMP echo requests that are sent by Ping Watchdog. The default value is 300 seconds.
• Startup Delay Specify the initial time delay (in seconds) until the first ICMP echo requests are sent by Ping Watchdog. The default value is 300 seconds.
The Startup Delay value should be at least 60 seconds as the network interface and wireless connection initialization takes a considerable amount of time if the airFiber AF-24 is rebooted.
• Failure Count to Reboot Specify the number of ICMP echo response replies. If the specified number of ICMP echo response packets is not received continuously, Ping Watchdog will reboot the airFiber AF-24. The default value is 3.
• Save Support Info This generates a support information file.
SNMP Agent
Simple Network Monitor Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. Network administrators use SNMP to monitor network-attached devices for issues that warrant attention.
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.

Dynamic DNS
Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names to IP addresses; Each DNS server on the internet holds these mappings in its respective DNS database. Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) is a network service that notifies the DNS server in real time of any changes in the airFiber AF-24’s IP settings. Even if the airFiber AF-24’s IP address changes, you can still access the airFiber AF-24 through its domain name.
Dynamic DNS If enabled, the airFiber AF-24 allows
communications with the DDNS server.
• Host Name Enter the host name of the DDNS server.
• Username Enter the user name of the DDNS account.
• Password Enter the password of the DDNS account.
• Show Check the box to display the password characters.
System Log
Device Discovery
Discovery Enables device discovery, so the airFiber AF-24
can be discovered by other Ubiquiti devices through the Discovery tool.
CDP Enables Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
communications, so the airFiber AF-24 can send out CDP packets to share its information.
System Log This option enables the registration routine
of system log (syslog) messages. By default it is disabled.
• Remote Log Enables the syslog remote sending function. System log messages are sent to a remote server, which is specified in the Remote Log IP Address and Remote Log Port fields.
- Remote Log IP Address The host IP address that receives syslog messages. Properly configure the remote host to receive syslog protocol messages.
- Remote Log Port The TCP/IP port that receives syslog messages. 514 is the default port for the commonly used system message logging utilities.
Every logged message contains at least a system time and host name. Usually a specific service name that generates the system event is also specified within the message. Messages from different services have different contexts and different levels of detail. Usually error, warning, or informational system service messages are reported; however, more detailed debug level messages can also be reported. The more detailed the system messages reported, the greater the volume of log messages generated.
