Installation Requirements

• Pole-mounting: 7 mm socket wrench or screwdriver
• Wall-mounting: wall fastener (not included)
• 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, one near the NanoBeam and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

Hardware Overview

Main Ethernet Port
This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server.
Reset Button
To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the device is powered on. Alternatively, the device may be reset remotely via a Reset button located on the bottom of the Gigabit PoE Adapter.
Secondary Ethernet Port
This Gigabit Ethernet port provides passthrough PoE to power and connect a 24V passive PoE device to the network. Note: In order to use PoE Passthrough on the Secondary port, a 24V, 1A PoE adapter is required.
Power LED
The Power LED will light blue when the device is connected to a power source.
Main LED
The LED will light steady blue when an active Ethernet connection is made to the Main port and flash when there is activity.
LAN2 LED
The LED will light steady blue when an active Ethernet connection is made to the LAN2 port and flash when there is activity.
Signal LEDs
In airOS®, you can modify the threshold value for the wireless signal strength LEDs on the Wireless tab under Signal LED Thresholds. Each LED will light when the wireless signal strength is equal to or greater than the LED’s threshold value. The default threshold values for these LEDs are shown below:

Hardware Installation

Go to the appropriate mounting instructions: Pole Mounting or “Wall Mounting”.

Wall Mounting

The NanoBeam must be mounted directly to a wood stud or other structurally stable surface to avoid damage to the mounting hole when you adjust the aim.

Optional Accessory

To enhance stability, you can use the NanoBeam Wall Mount Kit, model NBE-WMK (sold separately).

	Note: Center screw included. Two optional screws (not included) provide additional stability.
