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
NanoStation and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will
absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

The Power LED will light blue when the device is connected to a power
source.
In airOS®, you can modify the threshold value for the wireless signal strength
LEDs on the Wireless tab under Signal LED Thresholds. The LED will light
when the wireless signal strength is equal to or greater than the LED’s
threshold value. The default threshold values for these LEDs are shown below:
The LED will light steady blue when an active Ethernet connection is made to
the Main/LAN port and flash when there is activity.
The LED will light steady blue when an active Ethernet connection is made to
the Secondary port and flash when there is activity.
