Installation Requirements

• The IS-M5 comes with a default horn antenna, Horn-5-45, and is compatible with the following options:
  • Horn-5-30
  • Horn-5-60
  • Horn-5-90
  • U-OMT-Dish
• 7 mm socket wrench or screwdriver
• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire 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. For more details, visit ui.com/toughcable

• Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP, one near the IsoStation and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

Hardware Overview
