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.

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 PoE adapter.
* The Main port is labeled LAN on the NanoStationlocoM2/M5.
