Installation Overview:

We recommend that you configure both airFiber radios (access
point and station) prior to installation. Follow the instructions
available in Configuration (Settings) for each radio.

Setting:

Power over Ethernet connection

Configuring the settings:

The device is set to DHCP by default, so it will attempt to
obtain an IP address automatically. If this fails, it will use the
default fallback IP address: 192.168.1.20. Go to the appropriate
section: DHCP or Fallback IP Address :

DHCP

Use one of the following methods:

Configure the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to
the device based on its MAC address (on the label).
Let the device obtain an IP address, and then check the DHCP
server for the IP address that has been assigned.

Launch the web browser. Type the correct address in the address
field. Press Intro (PC) or Return (Mac).
Select your language and country. You must accept the Terms of
Use to use the product. Click Continue.
Enter a username and password, confirm the password, and click
Save.
Click on the icon.

Fallback IP Address :

If DHCP fails, use this IP address: 192.168.1.20

product. Click Continue.
3. Enter a username and password, confirm the password, and click Save.
4. Click on the icon.
5. Set the following options: to. Enable Access Point mode on one of the airFiber radios. Leave the access point disabled on the other airFiber radio (the station). b. Enter a name in the SSID field. It must be the same in both point access as in the station. c. In the WPA2 Preshared Key field, enter a combination of alphanumeric characters (0-9, AZ, or az). Note: The key is an alphanumeric password between 8 and 63 characters.
6. Click Save Changes. 7. Configure each of the airFiber radios with a unique IP address:
to. Click on the icon .

DHCP: By default, the DHCP client setting is enabled; if there is a DHCP server on your network, the airFiber radio will obtain its address through DHCP.
Note: If the DHCP client configuration fails, the device will use the backup IP address: 192.168.1.20 Static IP You can disable the DHCP client setting and use a static IP address. c. Click Save Changes. Backup IP address 1. Make sure your computer (or other host system) is connected to the same LAN as the airFiber radio. 2.

Alignment
Tips
To accurately align airFiber devices to optimize performance, you MUST align only one end of the link at a time. You may need to use additional tools to compensate for issues such as improper orientation of a mounting post or significant elevation differences between the two airFibers.
Establishing a link Adjust the orientation of the access point and the station to establish a link.
Note: The access point must first face the station because the station does not transmit RF signals until it detects transmissions from the access point.
lit.
1. Access Point: Visually orient the access point towards the station by loosening the flange nuts on the mounting bracket to allow adjustment of azimuth and elevation.
Azimuth adjustment:
Elevation Adjustment:

Note: DO NOT make simultaneous settings on the access point and the station. 2. Station: Visually orient the station towards the access point. To adjust the station
position, modify the azimuth and elevation as described in step 1. 3. Open the setting interface, select Tools, then click
Align Antenna.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the link is optimal and the 5G and 60G LEDs turn blue. This ensures the best possible data speed between airFiber devices. Note: The best way to achieve maximum signal strength is by repeatedly going through azimuth and elevation.
5. Lock the alignment of the two airFiber radios by tightening all the nuts.
