Mounting Bracket
Power Cord
Package Contents
Installation Requirements
The GPS Antenna 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 outdoor
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.

Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you
use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP, one near the Rocket and the other at
the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and safely
discharge them into the ground.

Signal In airOS®, you can modify the wireless signal strength threshold values for each
LED on the Wireless tab under Signal LED Thresholds. Each LED will light when the
wireless signal strength is equal to or greater than the LED’s threshold value. The default
values are shown below:
GPS The GPS LED will light steady blue when the GPS signal strength is sufficient. This
requires a minimum of three satellite connections.
LAN The LAN LED will light steady blue when an active Ethernet connection is made to
the LAN port and ash when there is activity.
Power The Power LED will light blue when the device is connected to a power source.
To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds
while the device is already powered on. Alternatively, the device may be reset remotely
via a Reset button located on the bottom of the Gigabit PoE adapter.
