Installation Requirements

• 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

Application Examples

The LiteBeam mounted outdoors with the reflector installed provides directional outdoor coverage (gain reflector-dependent).

The LiteBeam mounted outdoors without the reflector installed provides outdoor-to-indoor coverage using the 3 dBi Antenna Feed only.

Hardware Overview

Wireless LED
The LED will light green when a wireless connection is established.
Ethernet LED
The LED will light steady green when an active Ethernet connection is made and flash when there is activity.
Power LED
The LED will light green when the device is connected to a power source.
Ethernet Port
Supports 10/100 connections and passive PoE. This port should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server.
Reset Button
To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the LiteBeam is powered on. The LiteBeam may also be reset remotely using the auxiliary Reset button located on the bottom of the PoE adapter.

Hardware Installation

The LiteBeam was designed for outdoor use and quick mounting on a pole. You may mount it on a wall using an optional Wall Mount Kit, model NBE-WMK (sold separately).

Accessing airOS

Verify connectivity in the airOS Configuration Interface.

1. Make sure that your host system is connected via Ethernet to the device.
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).

   

4. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Select your Country and Language. You must agree to the Terms of Use to use the product. Click Login.

The airOS Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize your settings as needed. For details, refer to the User Guide available at ui.com/download/airmax

You can also manage your device using the Ubiquiti Internet Service Provider. Setup using the UISP™ app requires the U-Installer, sold separately.

Installer Compliance Responsibility

Devices must be professionally installed and it is the professional installer's responsibility to make sure the device is operated within local country regulatory requirements.

Antenna

Select your antenna from the list. If Calculate EIRP Limit is enabled, transmit output power is automatically adjusted to comply with the regulations of the applicable country. For a Custom antenna, Antenna Gain is entered manually. Note the requirements and antenna types listed below.

Cable Loss (When applicable)

Enter the cable loss in dB. Output power is adjusted to compensate for loss between the radio and the antenna.
