airFiber® X User Guide Chapter 2: Installation 10. Configure the Wireless Security: Hardware Installation a. Select the AES Key Type, HEX or ASCII. Install a Ground Wire b. For the Key field: 1. Remove the nut from the Ground Bonding Point located -- HEX Enter 16 bytes (eight, 16-bit HEX values: 0-9, on the back of the airFiber X radio. A-F, or a-f ). You can omit zeroes and use colons, similar to the IPv6 format. Note: The airFiber Configuration Interface supports IPv6 formats excluding dotted quad and “::” (double‑colon) notation. Ground Bonding -- ASCII Enter a combination of alphanumeric Point characters (0-9, A-Z, or a-z). 11. Click Change and then click Apply. 12. In-Band Management is enabled by default, so each airFiber X radio must have a unique IP Address. (If the airFiber X radios use the same IP Address, you may lose access to the airFiber X radios via the DATA ports.) Click the Network tab. 2. Attach a ground wire (min. 10 AWG or 5 mm2) to the lug and replace the nut to secure the wire. a. For the Management IP Address option: -- DHCP Keep the default, DHCP, to use DHCP reservation on your router to assign a unique IP Address. -- Static Change the IP Address, Netmask, and other settings to make them compatible with your network. b. Click Change and then click Apply. Repeat the instructions in the airFiber Configuration section on your other airFiber X radio. After you have configured the airFiber X radios, disconnect them and move them to your installation site. 3. At the installation site, secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounded mast, pole, tower, or grounding bar. WARNING: Failure to properly ground your airFiber X radio will void your warranty. Note: The ground wire should be as short as possible and no longer than one meter in length. Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. 5

Loosen the six elevation bolts, and use the hex nut PoE Adapter on the elevation rod to adjust the elevation. Power Source Alignment Tips • To accurately align the airFiber X radios for best performance, you MUST align only one end of the link at a time. • You may need to use additional hardware to compensate for issues such as the improper orientation of a mounting pole or significant elevation differences between airFiber X radios. Note: Do NOT make simultaneous adjustments on the Master and Slave. Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. 9

Master Aim the Master at the Slave to achieve the strongest signal level on the Slave. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you achieve an optimal link, with all four Signal LEDs solidly lit. This ensures the best possible data rate between the airFiber X radios. 7. Lock the alignment on both airFiber antennas by tightening all the nuts and bolts. 8. Observe the Signal LEDs of each airFiber X radio to ensure that the values remain constant while tightening the nuts and bolts. If any LED value changes during the locking process, loosen the nuts and bolts, finalize the alignment of each airFiber antenna again, and retighten the nuts and bolts.
