Reset Button To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the
Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the PowerBeam
is already poweredon. 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 In airOS, you can modify the wireless signal
strength threshold values for each LED on the
Wireless tab under Signal LED Thresholds. The default
values are shown below:
LED will light blue when the wireless signal
strength is above -65 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal
strength is above -73 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal
strength is above -80 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal
strength is 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 (gain is
reflector‑dependent).
The PowerBeam mounted outdoors without the Dish Reflector
installed provides outdoor‑to‑indoor coverage using the 3 dBi
Antenna Feed only.
Installation Requirements
• 13 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

8. Optional: If you have the PowerBeam Radome (optional
accessory), then align the arrows on the bottoms of the
Radome and Dish Reflector so the Drain Holes on the Radome
point downward. Snap the Radome onto the Dish Reflector.
9. Connect the Ethernet cable from the PowerBeam’s Ethernet
port to the POE port of the Gigabit PoE adapter.
10. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the adapter’s
LAN port.
11. Connect the Power Cord to the adapter’s power port.
Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.
Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)
1. Remove the PoE Mounting Bracket from the adapter, place
the bracket at the desired location, and mark the two holes.
2. Pre-drill the holes if necessary, and secure the bracket
using two fasteners (not included).
3. Align the adapter’s slots with the tabs of the PoE Mounting
Bracket, and then slide the adapterdown.
Accessing airOS
Verify connectivity in the airOS® Configuration Interface.
1. Make sure that your host system is connected via Ethernet
to the PowerBeam.
2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a
static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
3. Launch your web browser and type https://192.168.1.20
in the address field. 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.

Click Login.
Note: For the Country setting, U.S. product versions
are restricted to a choice of Canada, Puerto Rico,
or the U.S. to ensure compliance with FCC/IC
regulations.
The airOS Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you
to customize your settings as needed. For additional details

Installer Compliance Responsibility
Devices must be professionally installed and it is the
professional installer's responsibility to make sure the device is
operated within local country regulatory requirements.
Since Ubiquiti Networks equipment can be paired with a
variety of antennas and cables, the Antenna and Output Power
fields are provided to the professional installer to assist in
meeting regulatory requirements.
