Management Port 10/100 Mbps, secured Ethernet

port for configuration. In-Band Management is enabled

by default in the airFiber Configuration Interface. When

In-Band Management is disabled, the MGMT port is the

only port that can monitor, configure, and/or update

firmware.

Reset Button To reset to factory defaults, press and hold

the Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the

device is already poweredon.

Data Port Gigabit PoE port for handling all user traffic

and powering the device.

LEDs

Signal LEDs

Signal 4 LED will light blue when on.

Signal 3 LED will light green when on.

Signal 2 LED will light yellow when on.

Signal 1 LED will light red when on.

Bootup to airOS When powering on, the Power, GPS,

LINK, and Signal 1-4 LEDs light on. Once the CPU code

takes over, the GPS, LINK, and Signal 1-3 LEDs turn off.

Signal 4 LED remains on to indicate the boot sequence is

underway.

Initializing airFiber Software When the airFiber

application begins to boot under airOS, the Signal 4 LED

goes from solidly on to a 2.5 Hz flash. This continues until

the airFiberX radio is fully booted.

Signal Level Once fully booted, the Signal 1-4 LEDs act

as a bar graph showing how close the airFiberX radio

is to ideal aiming. This is auto-scaled based on the link

range, the antenna gains, and the configured TX power

of the remote airFiberX radio. Each Signal LED has three

possible states: On, Flashing, and Off. All Signal LEDs would

be solidly on in an ideal link. If the link has a 1 dB loss, the

Signal4 LED will flash; a 2 dB loss and the Signal 4 LED will

turn off. The full bar graph LED states are shown below.

loss 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 -9 -10 -11 -12 -13

See the antenna’s Quick Start Guide for antenna

installation instructions.

Other Requirements

• Clear line of sight between airFiberX radios

• Clear view of the sky for proper GPS operation

• Vertical mounting orientation

• Mounting point:

• At least 1 m below the highest point on the structure

• For tower installations, at least 3 m below the top of

thetower

• Ground wires – min. 10 AWG (5 mm2) and max. length:

1m. Asa safety precaution, ground the airFiberX radio

to grounded masts, poles, towers, or grounding bars.

WARNING: Failure to properly ground your

airFiberX radio will void your warranty.

• (Recommended) 2 Outdoor Gigabit PoE surge protectors

Note: For guidelines about grounding and

lightning protection, follow your local electrical

regulatory codes.

• Outdoor, shielded Category 6 (or above) cabling and

shielded RJ-45 connectors are required for all wired

Ethernet connections.

Installation Overview

We recommend to configure your paired airFiberX radios

before site installation. The overview below summarizes

the installation procedure, and the subsequent sections

provide detailed installation information:

• Connect the airFiber PoE Adapter to the DATA port, and

connect your computer and the MGMTport.

• Configure the airFiberX radio.

• Install a ground wire and mount the airFiberX radio on

an airFiberX antenna.

• At the installation site, install the airFiberX antenna with

the mounted airFiberX radio (see the antenna’s Quick

Start Guide for installation instructions).

• Secure the ground wire and mount the GPS antenna.

• Establish and optimize the RF link.

Connecting Power over Ethernet

1. Lift the release latch on the bottom of the airFiberX

radio and slide the Port Cover off.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the DATA port.

3. Connect the Ethernet cable from the DATA port to the

Ethernet port labeled POE on the airFiber PoE Adapter.

WARNING: Use only the included airFiber PoE

adapter, Model: GP-H240-100G-4. Failure to do

so can damage the unit and void the product

warranty.

4. Connect the Power Cord to the power port on the

airFiber PoE Adapter. Connect the other end of the

Power Cord to a powersource.

airFiber Configuration

The instructions in this section explain how to access

the airFiber Configuration Interface and configure the

following settings:

• Wireless Mode Configure one airFiberX radio as the

Master and the other as the Slave.

• Frequency Setting The operating Frequency must be

the same on both the Master and the Slave.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the

MGMT port on the airFiberX radio.

2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your computer with

a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.

3. Launch your web browser. Type http://192.168.1.20 in

the address field and press enter (PC) or return (Mac).

4. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the

Username and Password fields. Select your Country and

Language. You must agree to the Terms of Use to use

the product. Click Login.

Note: U.S. product versions are locked to the U.S.

Country Code to ensure compliance with FCC

regulations.

5. The Main tab will appear. Click the Tools drop-down

and select Link Calculator. This tool will guide you

on how to best minimize bandwidth and power/

interference issues.

6. Enter the requirements of your link, and then click

Calculate. Adjust the values as needed to get the

optimal result, and then write down the settings

needed for your configuration.

7. Click the Wireless tab.

8. Configure the Basic Wireless Settings:

a. For one airFiberX radio, select Master as the

Wireless Mode. For the other airFiberX radio, keep

the default,Slave.

b. Enter a name in the Link Name field. This should be

the same on both the Master and the Slave.

c. If needed, change the Channel Bandwidth, (Master)

Duty Cycle, Output Power and/or Maximum

Modulation Rate settings.

9. Configure the Frequency Settings. The selected

Frequency must be the same on both airFiberX radios.
