Ubiquiti airGrid M2 HP Manual

Introduction

This Quick Start Guide is designed to guide you through installation and includes warranty terms.

Package Contents


* The Grid Reflector and mounting hardware are packaged separately. Products may be different from pictures and are subject to change without notice.

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 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

  • 10 mm or 3/8" 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.
    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.com/toughcable

Application Examples

The airGrid mounted outdoors with the Grid Reflector installed provides directional outdoor coverage (gain reflector‑dependent).
Application Examples - Example 1

The airGrid mounted outdoors without the Grid Reflector installed provides outdoor‑to‑indoor coverage using the 3 dBi Antenna Feed only.
Application Examples - Example 2

LEDs

LEDs

Signal
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 green when the wireless signal strength is above ‑65 dBm.
LED will light green when the wireless signal strength is above ‑73 dBm.
LED will light amber when the wireless signal strength is above ‑80 dBm.
LED will light red when the wireless signal strength is above ‑94 dBm.
Ethernet
The Ethernet LED will light steady green when an active Ethernet connection is made and flash when there is activity.
Power
The Power LED will light green when the device is connected to a power source.

Hardware Installation

Assemble the airGrid according to your chosen polarization.

  1. Attach the L-Bracket to the Grid Reflector by sliding the tabs into the slots.
    Hardware Installation - Step 1

    The polarization of the airGrids must match on both ends of the wireless link (horizontal to horizontal, vertical to vertical).
  2. On the front of the airGrid, ensure the polarization indicator, V or H, properly matches your desired polarization.
    Hardware Installation - Step 2
  3. Attach the Rear Housing:
    Hardware Installation - Step 3
    1. Ensure the four alignment holes on the Grid Reflector and L-Bracket are lined up.
    2. Orient the Rear Housing with the locking tab of the cable feed door facing up.
    3. Insert the alignments pins of the Rear Housing into the alignment holes, and push until the Rear Housing locks into place with a click.
  4. Lift the locking tab of the cable feed door and detach the door from the Rear Housing.
    Hardware Installation - Step 4
  5. Route an Ethernet cable through the Rear Housing. Connect the cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the Antenna Feed.
    Hardware Installation - Step 5
  6. Attach the Antenna Feed:
    Hardware Installation - Step 6
    1. Rotate the Antenna Feed to match the signal polarization.
    2. Insert the Antenna Feed into the Rear Housing, and push until it locks into place with a click.
  7. Lightly pull the Antenna Feed to ensure that the Release Button is fully engaged and locked into place.
    Hardware Installation - Step 7
    Note: If you need to remove the Antenna Feed, you must depress the Release Button first.
  8. The Release Button indicates the Antenna Feed polarization. Confirm that the polarization indicator, V or H, on the Antenna Feed matches the indicator on the Grid Reflector.

    The polarization indicators must match.
    Hardware Installation - Step 8
  9. Re-attach the cable feed door to the Rear Housing. Ensure the locking tab securely latches to the Rear Housing.
    Hardware Installation - Step 9
  10. Insert the U-Bolt into the Pole Clamp and L-Bracket. Secure each end of the U-Bolt with a Washer and Flange Nut.
    Hardware Installation - Step 10
    Note: The mounting assembly can accommodate a Ø 32 ‑ 56 mm (1.25 ‑ 2.2") pole.

Connecting to Power over Ethernet

Connecting to Power over Ethernet

  1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the airGrid to the POE port of the PoE Adapter.
  2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the LAN port of the 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)

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 adapter's slots with the tabs of the PoE Mounting Bracket, and then slide the adapter down.

airOS® Configuration

Verify connectivity in the airOS Configuration Interface and select the airGrid antenna size.

  1. Make sure that your host system is connected via Ethernet to the airGrid.
  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).
    airOS® Configuration - Step 1
