Reset Button To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the
Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the PowerBeam
is already poweredon. Alternatively, the PowerBeam may be
reset remotely via a Reset button located on the bottom of the
Gigabit PoE Adapter.
Release Button After you assemble the PowerBeam, check
the Release button; it should be fully engaged in the Release
Button Slot of the Rear Housing. This ensures that the Antenna
Feed is locked into place. If you need to remove the Antenna
Feed, you must depress the Release button first.
LEDs
Signal The default values (from left to right) are
shown below:
LED will light blue when the wireless signal
strength is equal to or above -65 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal
strength is equal to or above -73 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal
strength is equal to or above -80 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal
strength is equal to or above -94 dBm.
Ethernet The Ethernet LED will light steady blue
when an active Ethernet connection is made and
flash when there is activity.
Power The Power LED will light blue when the
device is connected to a power source.
Application Examples
The PowerBeam mounted
outdoors with the Dish
Reflector installed provides
directional outdoor coverage.
(The gain depends on the
reflector.)
The PowerBeam mounted
outdoors without the Dish
Reflector installed provides
outdoor-to-indoor coverage
using the 3 dBi Antenna
Feedonly.
Installation Requirements
• Phillips screwdriver
• 13 mm wrench
• 16 mm wrench
• 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 the
most brutal environments and devastating ESD attacks
with industrial-grade shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable
