the PBE-5AC-300-ISO Antenna Feed.
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

This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect the power and should be connected to the
LAN and DHCP server.
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 Gigabit PoE Adapter.
After you assemble the PowerBeam, 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.

Power
In airOS®, you can modify the threshold value for the wireless signal strength LEDs on the
Wireless tab under Signal LED Thresholds. Each 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 Ethernet LED will light steady blue when an active Ethernet connection is made and
flash when there is activity.
The Power LED will light blue when the device is connected to a power source.
Application Examples
The PowerBeam mounted outdoors with the Reflector installed provides directional outdoor
