Installation Requirements
•The GPS Antenna needs to have clear line of sight to the sky for proper GPS operation.
•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
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 customer’s responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

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.
