Guide
TERMS OF USE: Ubiquiti radio devices must be professionally installed. Shielded Ethernet
cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product warranty. TOUGHCable
is
designed for outdoor installations. It is the customers responsibility to follow local country
regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic
Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.
Installation Requirements
The NanoBeam can be mounted on a pole or to a wall. A Metal
Strap (included) is used for pole-mounting. For wall-mounting,
a suitable fastener such as a screw or bolt (not included) is
required.
Pole-mounting: 7 mm socket wrench or screwdriver
Wall-mounting: wall fastener (not included)
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, TOUGHCable from
Ubiquiti Networks.

Hardware Installation
The NanoBeam can be mounted on a pole or to a wall. Perform
the steps for the appropriate installation:
Pole-Mount
1. Insert the Ball Joint Mount into the Lock Ring with the
threads of the Lock Ring facing the ball joint.
2. Open the Metal Strap and feed it through the base of the
Ball Joint Mount.

640-00127-08
3. Wrap the Metal Strap around the pole. Use a 7 mm socket
wrench to turn the screw clockwise and securely fasten the
clamp to the pole.
4. Attach the NanoBeam to the Ball Joint Mount and turn the
Lock Ring to secure it. Keep the Lock Ring loose enough to
allow the NanoBeam to pivot for aiming.
Wall-Mount
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.
Installation Instructions
1. Mark the desired location of the mounting point.
2. If needed, drill a pilot hole for the fastener (not included).
3. Insert the Ball Joint Mount into the Lock Ring with the
threads of the Lock Ring facing the ball joint.
4. If you are using the optional NanoBeam Wall Mount Kit,
then skip to step b.
a. To attach the Ball Joint Mount to the wall, insert a
fastener (not included) through the center of the ball
joint, and into the wall. Securely tighten the fastener.
Proceed to step 5.
b. To attach the Ball Joint Mount to the wall, insert the Wall
Mount Kit screw through the center of the ball joint,
through the Wall Mount Kit plate, and into the wall.
Securely tighten the screw.
5. Attach the NanoBeam to the mount Ball Joint Mount and
turn the Lock Ring to secure it. Keep the Lock Ring loose
enough to allow the NanoBeam to pivot for aiming.
Aiming
1. Aim the front of the NanoBeam towards the other end of
the wireless link, while using the bubble level to ensure
level alignment.
2. Hand-tighten the Lock Ring to lock the aim.
Note: Do not use a tool to tighten the Lock Ring.
Tighten the Lock Ring by hand only.
Connecting to the PoE Adapter
1. Remove the port cover by pressing down the center of the
cover and sliding the cover out.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
3. Replace the port cover.
Connecting Power over Ethernet
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the NanoBeams Ethernet
port to the adapters POE port.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the adapters
LAN port.
3. Connect the Power Cord to the adapters 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 adapters 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 NanoBeam.
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).
