Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Ubiquiti Networks® UniFi® 802.11ac Indoor/Outdoor Access Point with Plug & Play Mesh Technology. This Quick Start Guide is designed to guide you through installation and includes warranty terms. IMPORTANT: The UAP-AC-M requires the UniFi Controller v5.4 or higher, available at: www.ubnt.com/download/unifi Package Contents UniFi AC Mesh Screws (Qty. 2) Antennas (Qty. 2) Screw Anchors (Qty. 2) Zip Ties (Qty.2) Wall Mount Bracket Fast-Mount Adapter 802.
Installation Requirements • Wall-mounting: Drill and 6 mm drill bit • Phillips screwdriver • Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all outdoor 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 Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.
System Requirements • Linux, Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows 7/8/10 • Java Runtime Environment 1.6 (1.8 or newer recommended) • Web Browser: Google Chrome (Other browsers may have limited functionality) • UniFi Controller software v5.4 or newer (available at: www.ubnt.com/download/unifi) Wireless Adoption Requirements The UAP-AC-M supports wireless adoption into your UniFi Wi‑Fi network.
Network Topology Requirements • A DHCP-enabled network (for the UniFi device to obtain an IP address as well as for the wireless clients after deployment) • A UniFi Cloud Key or management station running the UniFi Controller v5.
Hardware Overview LED Status LED Port Cover Front LED Color Right Side Status Flashing White Initializing. Steady White Factory default, waiting to be integrated. Alternating White/Blue Device is busy; do not touch or unplug it. This usually indicates that a process such as a firmware upgrade is taking place. Quickly Flashing Blue Used to locate and identify a UniFi device. When the Locate feature is activated in the UniFi Controller software, the Status LED will flash blue.
Ports Ethernet Port Cable Grommet Reset Button Ethernet The Ethernet port is a Gigabit PoE port used to connect the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server. Power can be provided by one of the following: • Gigabit PoE adapter (included) • Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Switch with PoE • 802.3af PoE compliant switch Note: The UAP-AC-M supports 802.3af/A PoE and 24V Passive PoE. It does NOT support 802.3af/B PoE and therefore does not work with 802.3af/B switches.
Hardware Installation The UniFi AP can be mounted on a wall, pole, or fast-mount of a Ubiquiti high-gain antenna. Perform the steps for the appropriate installation: Wall Mount To mount the UniFi AP on a wall, use the included Wall Mount Bracket, Screws, and Screw Anchors. 1. Place the Wall Mount Bracket at the desired location on the wall in the orientation shown below. 2. Ensure the level is plumb and mark the two screw holes on the wall. 3. Drill out the holes using a 6 mm drill bit. 4.
6. Attach the UniFi AP to the Wall Mount Bracket by sliding the mounting tabs into the channel slots until it locks into place.
Pole Mount To mount the UniFi AP on a pole, use the included Zip Ties: 1. Insert a Zip Tie through the slot of the mount bracket on the back of the UniFi AP. 2. Position the UniFi AP at the desired location on the pole and then fasten the Zip Tie around the pole. Fasten the second Zip Tie in the same manner.
Fast-Mount The included Fast-Mount Adapter allows the UniFi AP to be mounted on a Ubiquiti high-gain antenna equipped with a fast‑mount radio mounting bracket. 1. Attach the Fast-Mount Adapter to the fast-mount by sliding the four mounting tabs into the corresponding channel slots until it locks into place.
2. Mount the UniFi AP to the Fast-Mount Adapter.
Attach Antennas 1. Remove and discard the two black boot covers. Ensure the Rubber Gaskets remain in place.
2. Connect the Antennas to the RP-SMA connectors. Note: For optimal performance, it is recommended to position the Antennas at 45-degree angles.
Powering the UniFi AP 1. Slide the Port Cover down to remove it. 2. Remove the Cable Grommet. Slide an Ethernet cable through the Cable Grommet and connect the cable to the Ethernet port. Make the necessary adjustments to ensure that the Cable Grommet is securely back in place, and then replace the Port Cover.
Connecting to a PoE Adapter 1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the UniFi AP to the POE port of the Gigabit PoE adapter. 2. (Optional for non-mesh setup) Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the LAN port of the Gigabit PoE adapter. 3. Connect the Power Cord to the adapter, and then plug the Power Cord into 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.
Connecting to a PoE Switch Connect the Ethernet cable from the UniFi AP directly to a PoE port on an 802.3af switch. PoE will automatically be enabled.
