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 customer’s 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.
•  Screwdriver (for pole-mounting)
•  Wall Fastener (for wall-mounting)
•  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 from Ubiquiti 
Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable

Hardware Overview

LEDs

The Power LED will light blue when the 

device is connected to a power source.

The Ethernet LED will light steady blue 

when an active Ethernet connection is made and 
flash when there is activity.

In airOS, you can modify the wireless signal 

strength threshold values for each LED on the 
Advanced tab under Signal LED Thresholds. The 
default values are shown below:

LED will light blue when the wireless signal 
strength is above -94 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal 
strength is above -80 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal 
strength is above -73 dBm.
LED will light blue when the wireless signal 
strength is above -65 dBm.

Hardware Installation

1.  Remove the port cover by pressing down the center of the 

cover and sliding the cover out.

Pole-Mount

1.  Seat the Ball Joint Bracket into the socket of the NanoBeam.

2.  Slip the Lock Ring over the Ball Joint Bracket and turn it 

clockwise to secure it to the NanoBeam. Keep the Lock Ring 
loose enough to allow the NanoBeam to pivot for aiming.

3.  Open the Metal Strap and feed it through the base of the 

4.  Wrap the Metal Strap around the pole. Use a screwdriver 

to turn the screw clockwise and securely fasten the strap 
to the pole.

Wall-Mount

The NanoBeam must be mounted directly to a stud or other 
structurally stable surface.
1.  Mark the desired location of the mounting point.
2.  Drill a pilot hole for the fastener.
3.  Insert the Ball Joint Bracket into the Lock Ring with the 

threads of the Lock Ring facing the ball joint.

4.  Attach the Ball Joint Bracket to the wall by inserting a 

fastener through the center of the ball joint, and into the 
hole in the wall. Securely tighten the fastener.

5.  Attach the NanoBeam to the Ball Joint Bracket and turn the 

Lock Ring to secure it. Keep the Lock Ring loose enough to 
allow the NanoBeam to pivot for aiming.

Aiming

1.  Ensure the Ethernet cable is pointed towards the ground.
2.  Aim the front of the NanoBeam towards the other end of 

the wireless link.

3.  Hand-tighten the Lock Ring to lock the aim.

Connecting Power

1.  Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable from the 

NanoBeam to the Ethernet port labeled POE on the 
PoE Adapter.

2.  Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN or computer to 

the Ethernet port labeled LAN on the PoE Adapter.

3.  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 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).
