Installation Requirements
The NanoBeam can be mounted on a pole or to a wall. A Metal Strap (included) is used
for pole-mounting. For wall-mounting, a suitable fastener such as a screw or bolt (not
included) is required.
7 mm socket wrench or screwdriver (for pole-mounting)
Wall fastener (for wall-mounting)
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

Hardware Overview
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 Ethernet port is used to connect the power and should be connected to the LAN
and DHCP server. Power can be provided by any of the following:
PoE Adapter (included)
Ubiquiti TOUGHSwitch™ PoE
Ubiquiti EdgeRouter™ PoE
The Power LED will light blue when the device is connected to a power source.
The Ethernet LED will light steady blue when an active Ethernet connection is made
and flash when there is activity.
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
