ERMS OF USE: Ubiquiti radio devices must be professionally installed. Shielded Ethernet cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product warranty. TOUGH Cable 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.

Installation Requirements

Adjustable wrench or one 16 mm and one 24 mm wrench
Phillips screwdriver
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 the most brutal environments and devastating ESD attacks with industrial-grade shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable

Hardware Installation
To install the PowerBridgeM10, perform the following steps:

Align the Radio to the back of the Dish.
On the front of the Dish, use the four M4x18 Screw and Washer Assemblies to secure the Radio to the Dish.
Connect the Elevation Rod to the back of the Dish using a M10x25 Bolt, a M10 Washer, a M10 Spring Lock Washer, and a M10 Hex Nut. Install a M16 Hex Nut about halfway down on the Elevation Rod and then install a M16 Washer on the Elevation Rod.
Insert the four M10x150 Carriage Bolts into the Mounting Bracket.
Connect the Mounting Bracket to the Dish:
Insert two M10x25 Bolts through the bottom of the Mounting Bracket and through the Dish. The bolts should be on the inside facing outward.
Secure each bolt using a M10 Washer, a M10 Spring Lock Washer, and a M10 Hex Nut.
Slide the Mounting Bracket onto the Elevation Rod.
Secure the Mounting Bracket to the Elevation Rod using a M16 Washer, a M16 Spring Lock Washer, and a M16 Hex Nut.
Lift the cover on the Radio by pressing down and raising it up. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Radio and place the cover back on the Radio. There is an opening for the Ethernet cable. Slide the cover over the cable.
Make sure the O-Ring is secure on the Feed.
On the front of the Dish, connect the Feed to the Radio and Dish using the four M4x12 Screw and Washer Assemblies.
Note : DO NOT handle the assembled unit by the feed at any time, especially during installation of the Dish to the pole. Always hold the Dish or the brackets while installing the product.
Attach the Stabilizer Brackets to the pole just beneath the area where the Dish will be attached. Use two M10x100 Bolts, two M10 Washers, two M10 Spring Lock Washers, and two M10 Hex Nuts. Tighten the nuts to approximately 50 N-m (37 lb-ft).
Note : The mounting assembly can accommodate a 1.5″ – 4.0″ pole.
Place the Pole Clamps on the other side of the pole that the Dish will be mounted on and connect them to the Mounting Bracket using M10 Washers, M10 Spring Lock Washers, and M10 Hex Nuts.
Adjust the Azimuth and Elevation. Azimuth can be adjusted by rotating the antenna while supported by the stabilizer bracket. Elevation is adjusted by loosening the Elevation Rod. Tighten all bolts and nuts to approximately 50 N-m (37 lb-ft) or less to avoid deforming the pole.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable from the Radio to the Ethernet port labeled POE on the PoE Adapter.
Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the Ethernet port labeled LAN on the PoE Adapter.
Connect the power cord to the power port on the PoE Adapter. Connect the other end of the power cord to a power outlet.

Accessing airOS™
Verify connectivity in the airOS Configuration Interface.

Make sure that your host machine is connected to the LAN that is connected to the PowerBridgeM10.
Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.20 in the address field and press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
The login screen will appear. 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.
Note : U.S. product versions are locked to the U.S. Country Code to ensure compliance with FCC regulations.

The airOS Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize your settings as needed.
For additional details on the airOS Configuration Interface, refer to the User Guide available at: documentation.ubnt.com/airmax

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.

Since Ubiquiti Networks equipment can be paired with a variety of antennas and cables, the Antenna Gain, Cable Loss, and Output Power fields are provided to the professional installer to assist in meeting regulatory requirements.
Czech Republic
The content in this section is for exclusive use in the Czech Republic; you are instructed to look for clear channels and manually set the channel to be used.

Important Steps to Take before First Use

Search for channels that are already used in your area. For these channels, search for the pair channels. NEVER use these channels for operation of your link.
In the airOS Configuration Interface of the PowerBridgeM10, activate the Frequency Scan List option and click the Edit button.
Select the free channel and save your changes.
Follow the same steps (1-3) for your second PowerBridgeM10 (at the other end of the link).
Check the Fresnel zone; this must be free.
In the airOS Configuration Interface of the PowerBridgeM10, use the Speed Test application. Adjust the direction of the link for optimal performance.
Tighten all screws of the antenna.
Set TX power in accordance with VO-R/14/12.2006-38.
