Cable feed must be pointed downwards when mounted.
Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling 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. 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 UAP-AC-M-
PRO and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb
power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.
IMPORTANT: The UAP-AC-M-PRO requires the UniFi Controller v5.4 or
higher, available at: ui.com/download/unifi
System Requirements
Linux, Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows 7/8/10
Java Runtime Environment 1.6 (1.8 or newer recommended)
Web Browser: Google Chrome (Other browsers may have limited functionality)
