Installation Requirements

• 17 mm wrench

• 13 mm socket wrench or driver

• Clear line of sight between airFiber radios

• Clear view of the sky for proper GPS operation

• Mounting location with < 0.5° displacement due to twist and

sway under wind loading

• Mounting point:

• At least 1 meter below the highest point on the structure

• For tower installations, at least 3 meters below the top of the

tower

• Ground wires – min. 8 AWG (10 mm

) and max. length: 1 meter.

As a safety precaution, ground the airFiber radios to grounded

masts, poles, towers, or grounding bars.

WARNING: Failure to properly ground your airFiber

units will void your warranty.

• (Recommended) 2 Outdoor GigE PoE surge protectors

Note: For guidelines about grounding and lightning

protection, follow your local electrical regulatory codes.

• Outdoor, shielded Category 5e (or above) cabling should be

used for all wired Ethernet connections. Category 6 is required

for installations with long cable runs (up to 100 m).

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

Installation Overview

We recommend that you configure your paired airFiber radios

before mounting. Below is an overview of the installation with

specific details on the following pages:

• Connect Power over Ethernet to the DATA port, and connect an

Ethernet cable between your computer and the CONFIG port.

• Configure the device settings in the airFiber Configuration

Interface.

Connecting Power over Ethernet

• Once configuration is complete, disconnect the cables to move

the airFiber radios.

• Reconnect at the site.

• After you have mounted the airFiber radios, establish and

optimize the RF link.

Connecting Power over Ethernet

1. Turn the Cover Lock to the Unlocked icon. Slide the Port Cover

down to remove it.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the DATA port.

3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable from the DATA

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

4. Connect the Power Cord to the power port on the PoE Adapter.

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

Configuration

The instructions in this section explain how to access the airFiber

Configuration Interface and configure the following settings:

• Wireless Mode Configure one airFiber AF24 as the Master and

the other as the Slave.

• Duplex The airFiber AF24 supports both half-duplex and

full-duplex operation. Half-duplex operation provides more

frequency planning options at the cost of higher latency

and throughput. Full-duplex operation provides the highest

throughput and lowest latency; however, you have fewer

frequency management options.

- Half Duplex (default) The TX and RX Frequencies can be the

same or different to suit local interference.

SlaveMaster

Frequency A

- Full Duplex The TX and RX Frequencies should be different.

• TX and RX Frequencies The TX Frequency on the Master must

match the RX Frequency on the Slave, and vice versa.

AF24 Quick Start Guide

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the CONFIG

port on the airFiber AF24.

2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your computer with a

static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet (for example,

192.168.1.100).

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

address field and press enter (PC) or return (Mac).

4. The login screen will appear. 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.

Note: U.S. product versions are locked to the U.S. Country

Code to ensure compliance with FCC regulations.

airFiber Configuration

5. Click the Wireless tab.

6. Enter the Basic Wireless Settings:

a. For one airFiber AF24, select Master from the Wireless Mode

drop-down. For the other airFiber AF24, keep the default,

Slave.

b. Enter a name in the Link Name field. This should be the

same on both the Master and the Slave.

c. For the Duplex drop-down:

- Half Duplex The default mode. The TX and RX Frequencies

can be the same or different to suit local interference.

- Full Duplex The TX and RX Frequencies should be different.

d. Select a TX Frequency. This must match the RX Frequency on

your other airFiber AF24.

e. Select a RX Frequency. This must match the TX Frequency of

your other airFiber AF24.

f. If needed, change the Output Power, Maximum Modulation

Rate, and/or RX Gain settings.

7. Configure the Wireless Security:

a. Select the AES Key Type, HEX or ASCII.

b. For the Key field:

- HEX Enter 16 bytes (eight, 16-bit HEX values: 0-9, A-F, or

a-f). You can omit zeroes and use colons, similar to the

IPv6 format.

Note: The airFiber Configuration Interface supports

IPv6 formats excluding dotted quad and "::"

(double-colon) notation.

- ASCII Enter a combination of alphanumeric characters (0-9,

A-Z, or a-z).

8. Click Change and then click Apply.

9. In-Band Management is enabled by default, so each airFiber

radio must have a unique IP Address. (If the airFiber radios use

the same IP Address, then you may lose access to the airFiber

radios via the DATA ports.) To change the networksettings:

a. Click the Network tab.

b. Change the IP Address, Netmask, and other settings to make

them compatible with your network.

c. Click Change and then click Apply.

Repeat the instructions in the airFiber Configuration section on

your other airFiber radio. After you have configured the airFiber

radios, disconnect them and move them to your installation site.

Hardware Installation

To install the airFiber AF24:

1. Insert the four M10x150 Carriage Bolts into the Pole Mount

Bracket.

2. Attach the Pole Mount Bracket to a pole.

Note: The mounting assembly can accommodate a

Ø 2.0" - 4.0" pole.

a. Orient the Pole Mount Bracket around the pole so it is aimed

in the direction of the other airFiber AF24.

b. Insert the M10x150 Carriage Bolts into the Pole Clamps.

c. Secure the clamps with the M10 Flat Washers, Split Lock

Washers, and Hex Nuts.

Note orientation of slots

Aim towards link.

3. Loosen, but do NOT remove the eight Lock Bolts located on the

Alignment Bracket.

4. Ensure that there is a 6 mm gap between the head of each

M8x14 Serrated Flange Screw and the Alignment Bracket.

Hardware Installation

5. Lift the airFiber AF24 and align the four M8x14 Serrated Flange

Screws with the slots on the Pole Mount Bracket. Seat the screws

in the slots. Securely tighten the screws.

WARNING: To prevent injury, ensure that all four screws

are seated and fully tightened.

6. Attach a ground wire:

a. Remove the nut from the Ground Bonding Point.

b. Attach a ground wire (min. 8 AWG or 10 mm

) to the lug and

replace the nut to secure the wire.

c. Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounded

mast, pole, tower, or grounding bar.

WARNING: Failure to properly ground your airFiber

units will void your warranty.

Note: The ground wire should be as short as possible

and no longer than one meter in length.

Connecting Ethernet

1. Turn the Cover Lock to the Unlocked icon. Slide the Port Cover

down to remove it.

2. Connect a TOUGHCable or other outdoor, shielded CAT5e/6

cable to the DATA port.

3. Create a strain relief for the Ethernet cable by feeding a

CableTie through the tie slot under the cable. Then wrap the

Cable Tie around the cable and tighten.

4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable from the DATA

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

5. Connect an Ethernet cable from your network to the Ethernet

port labeled LAN on the PoE Adapter.

6. Connect the Power Cord to the power port on the PoE Adapter.

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

Note: For added protection, we recommend installing

two GigE PoE surge protectors. 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.
