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 PoE Adapter.

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 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.

Application Examples

The PowerBeam mounted outdoors with the Dish Reflector installed provides directional outdoor coverage (gain is reflector-dependent).

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

Installation Requirements

• 10 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 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
