The device 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 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-G2, one near the device and
the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP-G2 will absorb power surges
and safely discharge them into the ground.

Press and hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds until the LED starts flashing
and then becomes solidly lit. After a few seconds, the LED will turn off, and the
device will automatically reboot.
Note: The UBB radios are pre-paired. If a link is lost due to configuration
changes, you can reset both UBB radios to re-establish the link.
Local UBB radio (source LAN) This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect the
power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server.
Remote UBB radio (bridged LAN) This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect the
power and should be connected to the LAN. It will receive its IP address from the
