Installation Overview:

We recommend that you configure both airFiber radios (access point and station) prior to installation. Follow the instructions available in Configuration (Settings) for each radio.

Setting:
Power over Ethernet connection

Configuring the settings:

The device is set to DHCP by default, so it will attempt to obtain an IP address automatically. If this fails, it will use the default fallback IP address: 192.168.1.20. Go to the appropriate section: DHCP or Fallback IP Address :

DHCP
Use one of the following methods:

1. Configure the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to the device based on its MAC address (on the label).
2. Let the device obtain an IP address, and then check the DHCP server for the IP address that has been assigned.
3. Launch the web browser. Type the correct address in the address field. Press Intro (PC) or Return (Mac).
4. Select your language and country. You must accept the Terms of Use to use the product. Click Continue.
5. Enter a username and password, confirm the password, and click Save.
6. Click on the icon.

Fallback IP Address :
If DHCP fails, use this IP address: 192.168.1.20

Note: For more detailed information on installation requirements, device overview, and configuration settings, please refer to the user manual.

(Specifications).

Alignment

Tips

• To accurately align airFiber devices to optimize performance, you MUST align only one end of the link at a time.
• You may need to use additional tools to compensate for issues such as improper orientation of a mounting post or significant elevation differences between the two airFibers.

Establishing a link
Adjust the orientation of the access point and the station to establish a link.

Note: The access point must first face the station because the station does not transmit RF signals until it detects transmissions from the access point. lit.

1. Access Point: Visually orient the access point towards the station by loosening the flange nuts on the mounting bracket to allow adjustment of azimuth and elevation.
   Azimuth adjustment:
   Elevation Adjustment:
   Note: DO NOT make simultaneous settings on the access point and the station.

2. Station: Visually orient the station towards the access point. To adjust the station position, modify the azimuth and elevation as described in step 1.

3. Open the setting interface, select Tools, then click Align Antenna.

4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the link is optimal and the 5G and 60G LEDs turn blue.
   This ensures the best possible data speed between airFiber devices.
   Note: The best way to achieve maximum signal strength is by repeatedly going through azimuth and elevation.

5. Lock the alignment of the two airFiber radios by tightening all the nuts.remain constant while you AF60 tighten Quick the Start nuts. If Guide any of the values change during the locking process, loosen the nuts, refinish the alignment of each airFiber radio, and retighten the nuts.

Installer Compliance Responsibility
