Guide
TERMS OF USE: Ubiquiti radio devices must be professionally installed. Shielded Ethernet
cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product warranty. TOUGHCable™is
designed for outdoor installations. It is the professional installer’s responsibility to follow local
country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

Installation Requirements
• 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
Networks. For more details, visit
www.ubnt.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.

Power The Power LED will light green when
the device is connected to a power source.
LAN1 Main Ethernet The LED will light steady green
when an active Ethernet connection is made
to the Main/LAN port and flash when there is
activity.
LAN2 Secondary Ethernet (NanoStation M2/M3/M5
only) The LED will light steady green when
an active Ethernet connection is made to the
Secondary port and flash when there is activity.
Signal In airOS®, you can modify the wireless
signal strength threshold values for each
LED on the Advanced tab under Signal LED
Thresholds. The default values are shown below:
LED will light red when the wireless
signal strength is above -94 dBm.
LED will light amber when the wireless
signal strength is above -80 dBm.
LED will light green when the wireless
signal strength is above -73 dBm.
LED will light green when the wireless
signal strength is above -65 dBm.

Main/LAN 10/100 Ethernet port used to connect the power
and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server.
Secondary (NanoStationM2/M3/M5 only) 10/100 Ethernet
port used for bridging and supports software-configurable
PoE passthrough.
Note: In order to use PoE passthrough on the Secondary
port, a 24V, 1A PoE adapter is required.

Hardware Installation
1. Press the Port Cover Release Button located on the back of
the NanoStation and slide the cover off.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Main/LAN port.

3. Replace the port cover.
4. Position the NanoStation at the desired location on a pole
and insert a Cable Tie into the slot of the Mounting Bracket.

5. Align the front of the NanoStation toward the other end
of the wireless link. Then tighten the Cable Tie around

Note: For the NanoStationM2/M3/M5, two Cable Ties
are provided. Fasten the second Cable Tie to the other
mounting bracket for added security.

Connecting Power
Connect the power using one of the following options:
• Using the included Gigabit PoE Adapter: Go to Connecting to
the PoE Adapter.
• Using a separate PoE switch: Connect the Ethernet cable
from the device’s Ethernet port to a PoE-enabled Ethernet
port on the switch.
WARNING: The switch port must comply with the
power specifications listed in the Specifications section
of this Quick Start Guide.
Connecting to the PoE Adapter
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the device to the POE
port of the PoE Adapter.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the LAN port
of the PoE Adapter.
3. Connect the Power Cord to the adapter’s power port.
Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.
Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)
1. Remove the PoE Mounting Bracket from the adapter, place
the bracket at the desired location, and mark the two holes.
2. Pre-drill the holes if necessary, and secure the bracket
using two fasteners (not included).
3. Align the adapter’s slots with the tabs of the PoE Mounting
