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

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.
