Step 5 

When installing Arm onto wall, you will need the following items:



Sharpie(To mark your wholes)



1/4" Drill Bit(For use with Milwaukee Drill not shown here)



4 Tapcons(Concrete Screws) to mount Arm

Step 6



Upon arrival at install location, you need to begin looking for a spot to install your antenna.

Here are some things to keep in mind.:



Start by determining which side of the house has line of sight, and which Tower Site you want to link to.



If the customer is switching over to us from another ISP such as Smartnet or Broadband VI, you will want to look for their antenna as it will help you find a good spot.



Do not try to mount your antenna in an impossible spot

Step 7



After pinpointing the spot that you would like to place the device, you want to make sure you can access that spot

 Never attempt an install on the highest side of the building. If you have an opportunity to install from a lower, safer, and more easily accessible spot, go for it.

 Try to avoid spots where you must fully extend your ladder.  Never climb the ladder or go on the roof by yourself. Make sure that someone is either on the ground or up top with you.

Step 8



Before you can connect to the antenna, youmust configure your IPv4 settings manually



The default IP of the Antenna is 192.168.1.20



To connect to it, you must be on the same network, which can be accomplished by using the IP 192.168.1.x format



If you still cannot connect after manually setting your IP, it is probably due to your service order. Change your Service Order so that Ethernet comes first.

Step 9



Once your IP is set, you are ready to configure your antenna. Go to your web browser and enter the device's IP



The username and password are "ubnt" by default. Choose Puerto Rico as the Country and check the Terms and Conditions Box



You are now logged into the main interface. Take note of the different tabs. Navigate to the System tab, where we will upload our configurations.

Step 10



Before uploading the backup file, we must update the Antenna to the latest firmware version.



Go to ubnt.com to download the latest firmware for the device that you are using. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Downloads.



Select airMAX ISP Solutions for the Platform and choose the model that you are using on site.



Once the file has been downloaded, you can select it to upload and apply.



Select the file, Upload it, and confirm your choice so that the device can reboot with the correct configuration.
