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

Ethernet
This Ethernet port is used to connect the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server.
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 PoE adapter.
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.
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:
Ethernet LED
The Ethernet LED will light steady green when an active Ethernet connection is made and flash when there is activity.
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.

Installation

Optional (radome not included)

Connecting Power

	WARNING: The switch port must comply with the power specifications listed in this Quick Start Guide.

Accessing airOS

Verify connectivity in the airOS Configuration Interface.

Make sure that your host system is connected via Ethernet to the device.
Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
Launch your web browser and type https://192.168.1.20 in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Select your Country and Language. You must agree to the Terms of Use to use the product. Click Login.

The airOS Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize your settings as needed. For details, refer to the User Guide available at ui.com/download/airmax

You can also manage your device using the Ubiquiti Internet Service Provider Application. Setup using the UISP™ app requires the U-Installer, sold separately.

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.

Antenna

Select your antenna from the list. If Calculate EIRP Limit is enabled, transmit output power is automatically adjusted to comply with the regulations of the applicable country. Note the requirements and antenna types listed below.

Cable Loss (When applicable)

Enter the cable loss in dB. Output power is adjusted to compensate for loss between the radio and the antenna.

Electrical Safety Information

Compliance is required with respect to voltage, frequency, and current requirements indicated on the manufacturer’s label. Connection to a different power source than those specified may result in improper operation, damage to the equipment or pose a fire hazard if the limitations are not followed.
There are no operator serviceable parts inside this equipment. Service should be provided only by a qualified service technician.
This equipment is provided with a detachable power cord which has an integral safety ground wire intended for connection to a grounded safety outlet.
1. Do not substitute the power cord with one that is not the provided approved type. Never use an adapter plug to connect to a 2-wire outlet as this will defeat the continuity of the grounding wire.
2. The equipment requires the use of the ground wire as a part of the safety certification, modification or misuse can provide a shock hazard that can result in serious injury or death.
3. Contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer if there are questions about the installation prior to connecting the equipment.
