Installation Requirements

• 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 ui.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 NanoStation and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

Hardware Overview

NSM2/NSM3/NSM365/NSM5/locoM2/locoM5

1. Power LED
   The LED will light green when the device is connected to a power source.
   The LED will light steady green when an active Ethernet connection is made to the Main/LAN port and flash when there is activity.

2. LAN2 LED
   (NanoStation M2/M3/M5 only) The LED will light steady green when an active Ethernet connection is made to the Secondary port and flash when there is activity.

3. Signal LEDs
   In airOS®, you can modify the threshold values for the wireless signal strength LEDs on the Advanced tab under Signal LED Thresholds. The default values are shown below:

4. Secondary Port
   (NanoStationM2/M3/M5 only) This 10/100 Ethernet port is used for bridging and supports software-configurable PoE passthrough.
   Note: To use PoE passthrough on the Secondary port, a 24V, 1A PoE adapter is required.

5. *Main/LAN Port**
   This 10/100 Ethernet port is used to connect the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server.

6. Reset Button
   To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the device is powered on. Alternatively, the device may be reset remotely via a Reset button located on the bottom of the PoE adapter.

• The Main port is labeled LAN on the NanoStationlocoM2/M5.

Installation

Connecting Power

WARNING : The switch port must comply with the power specifications listed in this Quick Start Guide.

Optional

Accessing airOS

Verify connectivity in the airOS Configuration Interface.

1. Make sure that your host system is connected via Ethernet to the device.

2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.

3. Launch your web browser and type https://192.168.1.20 in the address field.
   Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).

4. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Select your Country and Language. You must agree to the Terms of Use to use the product. Click Login.
   The airOS Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize your settings as needed. For details, refer to the User Guide available at ui.com/download/airmax
   You can also manage your device using the Ubiquiti Internet Service Provider. Setup using the UISP™ app requires the U-Installer, sold separately.

Installer Compliance Responsibility

Devices must be professionally installed and it is the professional installer’s responsibility to make sure the device is operated within local country regulatory requirements.
The Antenna Gain and Output Power fields are provided to the professional installer to assist in meeting regulatory requirements.
