TERMS OF USE: Ubiquiti radio devices must be professionally installed. Shielded Ethernet
cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product warranty. TOUGHCable™ is
designed for outdoor installations. It is the professional installer’s responsibility to follow local
country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

Quick Start Guide
Installation Requirements
To LAN
• The GPS Antenna needs to have clear line of sight to thesky
for proper GPS operation.
• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire
should be used for all outdoor 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
• Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations.
We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors,
model ETH‑SP, one near the Rocket and the other at the
entry point to the building. The ETH‑SP will absorb power
surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

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.
GPS GPS The GPS LED will light steady blue when the
GPS signal strength is sufficient. This requires a
minimum of three satellite connections.
LAN LAN The LAN LED will light steady blue when an
active Ethernet connection is made to the LAN
port and flash when there is activity.
Power The Power LED will light blue when the
device is connected to a power source.

Hardware Installation
The Rocket Prism is designed to mount directly onto a Ubiquiti
airMAX RocketDish™ antenna for Point‑to‑Point use or an
airMAX Sector antenna for Point‑to‑MultiPoint use.
1. Lift the release latch on the bottom of the Rocket and slide
the Port Cover off.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port.

3. Replace the Port Cover.
4. Connect the RF cables (included with the antenna) to the
RP-SMA Connectors located on top of the Rocket.
Skip this step if you are using the RocketDish RD‑2G24.
5. Attach the Rocket to an antenna. Align the mounting tabs
on the back of the Rocket with the four mounting slots on
the antenna. Slide the Rocket down until it locks into place.
