Management Port 10/100/1000 Mbps, secured Ethernet

port for configuration. In-Band Management is enabled by

default in the airFiber Configuration Interface. When In-Band

Management is disabled, the MGMT port is the only port that

can monitor, configure, and/or update firmware. This port can

also be used to provide redundant PoE power.

Reset Button To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the

Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the device is

already poweredon.

powering the device.

LEDs

Signal LEDs

Signal 4 LED will light blue when on.

Signal 3 LED will light green when on.

Signal 2 LED will light yellow when on.

Signal 1 LED will light red when on.

Bootup to airOS When powering on, the Power, GPS, LINK,

and Signal 1-4 LEDs light on. Once the CPU code takes over, the

GPS, LINK, and Signal 1-3 LEDs turn off. Signal 4 LED remains on

to indicate the boot sequence is underway.

Initializing airFiber Software When the airFiber application

begins to boot under airOS, the Signal 4 LED goes from solidly

on to a 2.5 Hz flash. This continues until the AF-5XHD is fully

booted.

Signal Level Once fully booted, the Signal 1-4 LEDs act as a

bar graph showing how close the AF-5XHD is to ideal aiming.

This is auto-scaled based on the link range, the antenna gains,

and the configured TX power of the remote AF-5XHD. Each

Signal LED has three possible states: On, Flashing, and Off. All

Signal LEDs would be solidly on in an ideal link. If the link has a

1 dB loss, the Signal4 LED will flash; a 2 dB loss and the Signal

4 LED will turn off. The full bar graph LED states are shown

below.

Installation Overview

We recommend that you configure your paired AF-5XHD

radios before site installation. The overview below summarizes

the installation procedure, and the subsequent sections

provide detailed installation information.

• Connect the airFiber PoE Adapter to the DATA port, and

connect your computer to the MGMTport.

• Configure the AF-5XHD.

• Install a ground wire and mount the AF-5XHD on an

airFiberX or RocketDish antenna.

• At the installation site, install the airFiber X or RocketDish

antenna with the mounted AF-5XHD radio (see the antenna’s

Quick Start Guide for installation instructions).

• Secure the ground wire and mount the GPS antenna.

• Establish and optimize the RF link.

Connecting Power over Ethernet

1. Lift the release latch on the bottom of the AF-5XHD and

slide the Port Cover off.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the DATA port.

3. Connect the Ethernet cable from the DATA port of the

AF-5XHD to the POE port of the adapter.

WARNING: Use only the included adapter, model

GP‑H240‑100G‑WH‑03. Failure to do so can damage

the unit and void the product warranty.

4. Connect the Power Cord to the adapter’s power port.

Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a poweroutlet.

airFiber Configuration

The instructions in this section explain how to access the

airFiber Configuration Interface and configure the following

settings:

• Wireless Mode Configure one AF-5XHD as the AP and the

other as the CPE.

• Frequency Setting The operating Frequency must be the

same on both the AP and the CPE.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the

MGMT port on the AF-5XHD.

2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your computer with a

static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.

3. Launch your web browser. Type http://192.168.1.20 in the

Hardware Installation

Install a Ground Wire

1. Remove the nut from the Ground Bonding Point located on

the back of the AF-5XHD.

Ground

Bonding

Point

2. Attach a ground wire (min. 10 AWG or 5 mm

) to the lug

and replace the nut to secure the wire.

3. At the installation site, secure the other end of the ground

wire to a grounded mast, pole, tower, or grounding bar.

WARNING: Failure to properly ground your

airFiber radio will void your warranty.

Note: The ground wire should be as short as

possible and no longer than one meter in length.

Mount to an airFiber X Antenna

Follow the instructions in this section to mount the AF-5XHD

to an airFiber X antenna or to a RocketDish antenna equipped

with the AF-5G-OMT-S45 Conversion Kit.

Note: To mount the AF-5XHD to a RocketDish using the

included Universal Bracket, see the Mount to a RocketDish

Antenna section.

The airFiber X antenna AF-5G23-S45 is shown in this section:

1. Attach the airFiber X radio to the antenna by aligning the

four tabs on the back of the radio with the slots of the radio

mount. Then slide the radio down to lock it into place.

2. Attach the RF connectors to the radio in this combination:

+45° to Chain0 and -45° to Chain 1. Then slide the jackets

over the RF connectors to protect them.

3. Attach the external GPS antenna (included with the radio)

to the RF connector labeled GPS on the radio.

4. Attach the Protective Shroud by sliding it down over the

radio until it locks into the radio mount.

Mount to a RocketDish Antenna

Note: If you are mounting the AF-5XHD on a RocketDish

equipped with the AF-5G-OMT-S45 Conversion Kit, the

Universal Bracket is not needed. Refer instead to the

Mount to an airFiber X Antenna section for instructions.

The RocketDish RD-5G30 antenna is shown in this section:

1. Position the Universal Bracket over the back of the AF-5XHD

with the bracket clips over the AF-5XHD mounting tabs.

2. Push the bracket onto the AF-5XHD until it locks in place.

3. Attach the AF-5XHD to the RocketDish mounting bracket.

a. Align the mounting tabs on the Universal Bracket with

the RocketDish mounting bracket.

b. Slide the AF-5XHD down to lock it into place.

Mount the External GPS Antenna

Locate a mounting point that has a clear view to the sky, and is

above and as far away as possible from the AF-5XHD.

1. Attach the GPS Antenna Mount to the pole using the metal

strap, or attach it to a wall using the appropriate fasteners

(notincluded).

2. Place the External GPS Antenna on the mount.

3. Secure the cable of the External GPS Antenna to the mount

with a Cable Tie.

Connecting Power over Ethernet

1. Lift the release latch on the bottom of the AF-5XHD and

slide the Port Cover off.

2. Connect an outdoor, shielded Ethernet cable to the

DATAport.

3. Connect the Ethernet cable from the DATA port of the

AF-5XHD to the POE port of the adapter.

WARNING: Use only the included adapter, model

GP‑H240‑100G‑WH‑03. Failure to do so can damage

the unit and void the product warranty.

4. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the adapter’s

LAN port.

5. Connect the Power Cord to the adapter’s power port.

Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.

Mount the PoE Adapter (Optional)

1. Remove the 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 Mounting

Bracket, and then slide the adapter down.

Surge Protection

For added protection, install two surge suppressors, such as

the Ubiquiti Ethernet Surge Protector, model ETH-SP, at the

end of each link. Install the first surge protector within one

meter of the airFiber DATA port, and install the second surge

protector at the ingress point of the location housing the

wired network equipment.
