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. 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.

(NanoStationM2/M3/M5 only) This 10/100 Ethernet port is used for bridging and
supports software-configurable PoE passthrough.
Note: To use PoE passthrough on the Secondary port, a 24V, 1A PoE
adapter is required.
This 10/100 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
