Installation Requirements

•13 mm or ½" wrench

•Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE.

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

Application Examples

The airGrid mounted outdoors with the Grid Reflector installed provides directional outdoor coverage (gain reflector-dependent).

The airGrid mounted outdoors without the Grid Reflector installed provides outdoor-to-indoor coverage using the 3 dBi Antenna Feed only.

LEDs

Signal In airOS, you can modify the wireless signal strength threshold values for each LED on the

Advanced tab under Signal LED Thresholds. The default values are shown below:

LED will light green when the wireless signal strength is above -65 dBm.

LED will light green when the wireless signal strength is above -73 dBm.

LED will light amber when the wireless signal strength is above -80 dBm.

LED will light red when the wireless signal strength is above -94 dBm.

Ethernet The Ethernet LED will light steady green when an active Ethernet connection is made and flash when there is activity.

Power The Power LED will light green when the device is connected to a power source.
