Installation Requirements
• The GPS Antenna needs to have clear line of sight to thesky
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
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

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.
