UBB Quick Start Guide
System Requirements
One of the following:
UniFi Cloud Key (1.0.5 or newer) or UniFi Dream Machine (1.0.1 or newer)
Linux, Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows 7/8/10
Java Runtime Environment 1.6 (1.8 or newer recommended)
UniFi Controller software v5.12.x (or newer), available at: ui.com/download/unifi
UniFi Network App (iOS or Android™) or Web Browser (Google Chrome preferred)
Installation Requirements
Pole-mounting: 8 mm socket wrench or screwdriver
Wall-mounting: wall fastener (not included)
The device needs to have clear line of sight to the sky for proper GPS operation.
Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire 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. For
more details, visit

Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you use
two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP-G2, one near the device and the other at the
entry point to the building. The ETH-SP-G2 will absorb power surges and safely discharge
them into the ground.

When you click Locate in the UniFi Network Controller
software, the LED will flash blue. The software will also
display the location of the device on the map.
The 60 GHz link cannot be established or has dropped
due to bad weather. If the UBB fails over to 5 GHz, the
LED will remain red. When the 60 GHz link is reestablished, the LED will turn blue or the custom color
you selected in the UniFi Network Controller.
Note: If the other bridge device is within range
and the UBB LED is red, we recommend
moving the UBB device up or down to enhance
the signal strength.
In the Manage Device section of the UniFi Network
Controller, you can enable the Alignment Tool. When the
UBB devices are properly aligned, the LED will turn green.

Note: The UBB radios are pre-paired. If a link is lost due to configuration
changes, you can reset both UBB radios to re-establish the link.

down until the LED is green.
Remote UBB radio (bridged LAN) This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect the power
