Installation Requirements

• 13 mm wrench
• 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 harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti. For more details, visit ui.com/toughcable

Hardware Overview

1. Ethernet

This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server.
  2. 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 Gigabit PoE adapter.
  3. Release Button
After you assemble the device, check the Release button; it should be fully engaged in the Release Button Slot of the Rear Housing. This ensures that the Antenna Feed is locked into place. If you need to remove the Antenna Feed, you must depress the Release button first.
  4. 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:

5. Ethernet LED
The Ethernet LED will light steady green when an active Ethernet connection is made and flash when there is activity.
  6. Power LED
The Power LED will light green when the device is connected to a power source.

Application Examples
The PowerBeam mounted outdoors with the Reflector installed provides directional outdoor coverage (gain is reflector-dependent).

The PowerBeam mounted outdoors without the Reflector installed provides outdoor-to-indoor coverage using the 3 dBi Antenna Feed only.
