Product Overview

Installation Set-up

The 2×2 UBR with integrated dish antenna has four studs on its backside for attaching the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is designed in such a way that UBR can be mounted on the pole with the help of its attaching parts. It provides freedom of movement to the UBR for link alignment even after mounting.

Note
Insecure mounting might damage the device or cause injury. HFCL cannot be held liable for any damages incurred during the process.

1. Attach the hood to the UBR using four M6 flange nuts.
2. Refer to the image below:
3. Make sure that the cut in the hood aligns with the lug connector.
4. Attach the pole clamp assembly with a riveted U clamp with 2. the help of three M6 hex bolts and split spring lock washers.
5. Mount this assembly from the previous step on UBR using 3. three M6 hex bolts and split spring lock washers.
6. Once the UBR is assembled, the next step is to mount it on the pole using two M8 x 220 bolts, four split spring lock washers and flat washers.

Final View after Mounting

For Link Alignment
Slightly loosen the M6 bolts, and rotate the brackets to align the pointer mark, at an optimum angle to set the azimuth and elevation. Once the desired setting is attained, securely tighten the six bolts using a compatible spanner.

Note
Angle marking for azimuth adjustment & elevation adjustment.

Getting the UBR Online
Step 1:
Power up the device and Configure the UBR For powering on UBR, only use the HFCL PoE adapter. Plug and Adaptor will vary by country/region.

Note

1. Connect an ethernet cable to the laptop/computer.
2. Connect the other end of the ethernet cable to the data port 2. on the PoE adapter.
3. Connect UBR’s PoE-supported ethernet port to the PoE 3. adapter power port. The device will be powered on.
4. Configure a computer with a 1-domain static IP address e.g. 4. 192.168.1.X and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
5. Open the web browser and enter “UBR IP address” in the address bar. The default static IP address for 2×2 UBR is set to “192.168.1.1”.
6. A login screen will appear
7. Enter the default login credential details: 7. User- admin, Password- HFcl!@23#ion
8. Refer to our user manual on our website io.hfcl.com for 8. detailed information to configure UBR.

Check the LED status

Green LED (Power indication)

| Green color notifies the user that the device is powered ON

BLUE LED (RSSI/Link indication)

| Single blink: 1 to -50 dBm

Double blink: 51 to -60 dBm Triple blink: Greater than -60 dBm

NOTE: If the link is down, then the link LED will be in continuous OFF State.

Blue LED (Alarm Indication)

| Single blink: Minor Alarms Double blink: Major Alarms Triple blink: Critical Alarms

Note
During Reboot and Factory Reset, all three LEDs will glow for 7 seconds, and the power LED will continue to glow.
