The device needs to have clear line of sight to the sky for proper GPS operation.
Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire 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
UBB Quick Start Guide

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.

becomes solidly lit. After a few seconds, the LED will turn off, and the device will
automatically reboot.
Note: The UBB radios are pre-paired. If a link is lost due to conguration
changes, you can reset both UBB radios to re-establish the link.
Local UBB radio (source LAN) This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect the power and
should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server.
