Ubiquiti NSM2 Nano Station M TDMA Station User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Ubiquiti Networks NanoStation®. This Quick Start Guide is designed to guide you through installation and also includes warranty terms.

Package Contents

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 designed for outdoor installations. It is the professional installer’s responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

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 Networks.
• For more details, visit www.ubnt.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

LED Panel

Power The Power LED will light green when the device is connected to a power source. LAN1 Main Ethernet The LED will light steady green when an active Ethernet connection is made to the Main/LAN port and flash when there is activity. LAN2 Secondary Ethernet (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. Signal In airOS®, you can modify the wireless
signal strength threshold values for each LED on the Advanced tab under Signal LED Thresholds.

The default values are shown below:

Ports

Main/LAN 10/100 Ethernet port used to connect the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server. Secondary (NanoStationM2/M3/M5 only) 10/100 Ethernet port used for bridging and supports software-configurable PoE pass through.

Note: To use PoE passthrough on the Secondary port, a 24V, 1A PoE adapter is required. Reset Button To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the NanoStation is powered on. Alternatively, a remote reset button is located on the bottom of the PoE Adapter.

The Main is labelled LAN on the NanoStationlocoM2/M5.

Hardware Installation

1. Press the Port Cover Release Button located on the back of the NanoStation and slide the cover off.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Main/LAN port
3. Replace the port cover.
4. Position the NanoStation at the desired location on a pole and insert a Cable Tie into the slot of the Mounting Bracket.
5. Align the front of the NanoStation toward the other end of the wireless link. Then tighten the Cable Tie around the pole.

Note
For the NanoStationM2/M3/M5, two Cable Ties are provided. Fasten the second Cable Tie to the other mounting bracket for added security.
