High-Performance Integrated InnerFeed™ airMAX® Bridge Models: PBE-M2-400, PBE-M5-400
Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Ubiquiti Networks® PowerBeam™. This Quick Start Guide is designed to guide you through the installation, and show you how to access the airOS® Configuration Interface. This Quick Start Guide also includes the warranty terms and is for use with the PowerBeamM2, model PBE-M2-400, and the PowerBeamM5, model PBE-M5-400.
Hardware Overview Bottom View Antenna Feed Technology Ethernet Port Reset Button Release Button Dish Reflector Dish Bracket Alignment Pins Rear Housing Release Button Slot Cable Door Antenna Feed The PowerBeamM2 Antenna Feed is shown; however, the PowerBeamM5 Antenna Feed has the same layout for the Ethernet Port, Reset button, and Release button. 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.
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 Advanced tab under Signal LED Thresholds.
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.
Installation The installation instructions show the PowerBeamM2; however, the same instructions apply to the PowerBeamM5. 20 10 0 10 1. Align and insert the tabs of the Dish Bracket into the slots of the Dish Reflector. Rotate the Dish Bracket counter‑clockwise until the tabs lock into place. 20 10 0 10 2. Line up the Alignment Pins of the Rear Housing with the alignment holes of the Dish Bracket. Insert the pins and push until they lock into place.
3. Push in the sides of the Cable Door and detach it from the Rear Housing. 20 10 0 10 4. Attach the Antenna Feed: a. Insert the Antenna Feed into the Rear Housing, and push until it locks into place with a click. b. Lightly pull the Antenna Feed to ensure that it is locked into place and the Release button is fully engaged.
5. Connect the Ethernet cable: a. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet Port of the Antenna Feed. b. Re-attach the Cable Door to the Rear Housing. 20 10 0 10 6. Slide the Pole Clamp onto the Dish Bracket.
7. Insert the U-Bolt into the Pole Clamp and Dish Bracket. Secure each end of the U-Bolt with a Flange Nut. 20 10 0 10 25 N-m Note: The mounting assembly can accommodate a Ø 32 - 56 mm pole. 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 other end of the Ethernet cable from the PowerBeam to the Ethernet port labeled POE on the PoE Adapter. 10. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN or computer to the Ethernet port labeled LAN on the PoE Adapter. 11. Connect the Power Cord to the power port on the PoE Adapter. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.
Accessing airOS Verify connectivity in the airOS Configuration Interface. 1. Make sure that your host machine 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.
5. Select the PowerBeam Dish Reflector size: a. Click the Wireless tab. b. From the Antenna drop-down list, select the appropriate option. c. Click Change to save. d. Click OK to confirm. Customize additional settings as needed to complete the configuration. For additional details on the airOS Configuration Interface, refer to the User Guide available at documentation.ubnt.
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.
