UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-M-PRO-US UniFi AC Mesh Wide-Area Outdoor Dual-Band Access Point User Guide

UAP-AC-M-PRO Quick Start Guide

Package Contents

• Included only in the single-pack of the UAP-AC-M-PRO

Installation Requirements

• 13 mm wrench (for pole mounting)
• Drill and 8 mm drill bit (for wall mounting)
• Phillips screwdriver (for wall mounting)

Cable feed must be pointed downwards when mounted.
Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all outdoor 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 UAP-AC-MPRO and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.
  IMPORTANT: The UAP-AC-M-PRO requires the UniFi Controller v5.4 or higher, available at: ui.com/download/unifi

System Requirements

Linux, Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows 7/8/10 Java Runtime Environment 1.6 (1.8 or newer recommended) Web Browser: Google Chrome (Other browsers may have limited functionality) UniFi Controller software v5.4 or newer (available at: ui.com/download/unifi)
