Installation Requirements
- Clear line of sight between GigaBeam AP and station
- Vertical mounting orientation
- Mounting point:
- At least 1 m below the highest point on the structure
- For tower installations, at least 3 m below the top of the tower
- Outdoor, shielded Category 6 (or above) cabling and shielded RJ45 connectors are required for all wired Ethernet connections.
- Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP-G2, one near the device and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP-G2 will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.
Note: For guidelines about grounding and lightning protection, follow your local electrical regulatory codes. |

Configuration
The device is set to DHCP by default, so it will try to automatically obtain an IP address. If that fails, it will use the default fallback IP address, 192.168.1.20. Proceed to the appropriate section, DHCP or “Fallback IP Address”:
DHCP
Use one of the following methods:
- Set up the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to the device based on its MAC address (on the label).
- Let the device obtain an IP address and then check the DHCP server to see which IP address was assigned.
- Connect a computer to your network and configure the Ethernet adapter on your computer with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
- Launch your web browser. In the address field, type: https://192.168.1.20
Then press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
- Select your Country and Language. You must agree to the Terms of Use to use the product. Click Continue.
- Enter a Username and Password, confirm the Password, and click Save.
- Click the
icon.
- Configure the following settings:
- For one device, enable Access Point mode. For the other device (the Station), keep Access Point disabled.
- Enter a name in the SSID field. This must be the same on both the AP and the Station.
- In the WPA2 Preshared Key field, enter a combination of alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-Z, or a-z).
Note: The key is an alphanumeric password between 8 and 63 characters long.
- Click Save Changes.
- Configure each device (AP and Station) with a unique IP address:
- Click the
icon.
- Review the Network settings to ensure that each device has a unique IP address. Each can get its IP address via DHCP, or use a static IP address.
- DHCP By default DHCP client is enabled; if there is a DHCP server on your network, the device will receive its address via DHCP.
- Static Select this option to disable the DHCP client and enter a static IP address.
Note: If DHCP client fails, the device will use the fallback IP address: 192.168.1.20
- Click Save Changes.
- Click the
Fallback IP Address
- Ensure that your computer (or other host machine) is connected to the same LAN as the GigaBeam.
- Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.

UISP Management
You can manage your device using UISP, which lets you configure, monitor, upgrade, and back up your devices using a single application. Get started at uisp.ui.com
Alignment
Tips
- To accurately align the radios for best performance, you MUST align only one end of the link at a time.
- You may need to use additional hardware to compensate for issues such as the improper orientation of a mounting pole or significant elevation differences between radios.
Establishing a Link
Adjust the aim of the AP and the Station to establish a link.
|
Note: The AP must be aimed first at the Station because the Station does not transmit any RF signal until it detects transmissions from the AP. |
---|
- AP Visually aim the AP at the Station by loosening the Flange Nuts on the Mounting Bracket to allow adjustments to the azimuth and the elevation.
- Station Visually aim the Station at the AP. To adjust the Station’s position, adjust the azimuth and elevation as described in step 1.
- Open the Configuration Interface. Select Tools and then select Align Antenna.
- Repeat steps 1-2 until you have achieved an optimal link and both the 60G and 5G LEDs are solidly lit blue. This ensures the best possible data rate between the radios.
- Lock the alignment on both radios by tightening all the nuts.
- Observe the signal level of each radio to ensure that the values remain constant while tightening the nuts. If any value changes during the locking process, loosen the nuts, finalize the alignment of each radio again, and retighten the nuts.
Adjust the azimuth:
Adjust the elevation:
Note: Do NOT make simultaneous adjustments on the AP and Station. |
Note: Maximum signal strength can best be achieved by iteratively sweeping through both azimuth and elevation. |
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.
