Installation Requirements
• Clear line of sight between airFiber AP and station
• Clear view of the sky for proper GPS operation
• 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 airFiber radio 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.

Configuring the Settings
1.
2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your computer with a
static IP address on the 192.168.2.x subnet.
3. Launch your web browser. In the address field, type:
http://192.168.1.20
Then press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
http://192.168.1.20
4. 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.

5. Click the icon.
6. Configure the following settings:
a. For one airFiber radio, enable Access Point mode. For
the other airFiber radio (the Station), keep Access Point
disabled.
b. Enter a name in the SSID field. This should be the same
on both the AP and the Station.
c. 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.
7. Click Save Changes.
8. Configure each airFiber radio with a unique IP address:
a. Click the icon.
b. Review the Network settings to ensure that the AP and
Station each have a unique IP address. Each can get its
IP address via DHCP, or use the fallback IP address.
• DHCP By default DHCP client is enabled; if there is a
DHCP server on your network, the airFiber radio will
receive its address via DHCP.
• Fallback IP If you use the fallback IP address on one
radio, you must change the IP Address setting on the
other radio. The fallback IP address is: 192.168.1.20
c. Click Save Changes.
Repeat the instructions in the “airFiber 60 Configuration”
section on the other airFiber radio.
UNMS Management
You can manage your device using UNMS, which lets you
configure, monitor, upgrade, and back up your devices using a
