Reset Button To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the
Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the PowerBeam is already powered on. Alternatively, the PowerBeam may be reset remotely via a Reset button located on the bottom of the
Gigabit PoE adapter.
Release Button After you assemble the PowerBeam, check the Release button; it should be fully engaged in the Release Button Slot of the Rear Housing. This ensures that the Antenna Feed is locked into place. If you need to remove the Antenna Feed, you must depress the Release button first.
LEDs
Signal In airOS, you can modify the wireless signal strength threshold values for each LED on the
Wireless tab under Signal LED Thresholds. The default values are shown below:
LED will light blue when the wireless signal strength is above -65 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal strength is above -73 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal strength is above -80 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal strength is above -94 dBm.
Ethernet The Ethernet LED will light steady blue when an active Ethernet connection is made and flash when there is activity.
Power The Power LED will light blue when the device is connected to a power source.
Application Examples
The PowerBeam mounted outdoors with the Reflector installed provides directional outdoor coverage (gain is reflector dependent).
The PowerBeam mounted outdoors without the Reflector installed provides outdoor-to-indoor coverage using the 3 dBi
Antenna Feed only.
Installation Requirements
•13 mm 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 harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrial grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable
