TERMS OF USE: Ubiquiti radio devices must be professionally installed. Shielded Ethernet
cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product warranty. TOUGHCable™
is designed for outdoor installations. It is the customer’s responsibility to follow local country
regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic
Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.
Antenna Compatibility
The airFiber AF-4X radio is designed for use with the following
airFiber X antenna models:
• AF-5G30-S45
• AF-5G34-S451
The AF-4X can also operate with the following RocketDish™
antenna models:
• RD-5G302
• RD-5G342
Installation Requirements
• Clear line of sight between airFiber radios
• Clear view of the sky for proper GPS operation
• Vertical mounting orientation
• Mounting point:
• At least 1 m below the highest point on the structure
• For tower installations, at least 3 m below the top of
thetower
• Ground wires – min. 10 AWG (5 mm2) and max. length:
1m. Asa safety precaution, ground the airFiber radio to
grounded masts, poles, towers, or grounding bars.
WARNING: Failure to properly ground your
airFiber radio will void your warranty.
• (Recommended) 2 Outdoor Gigabit PoE surge protectors
Note: For guidelines about grounding and lightning
protection, follow your local electrical regulatory
codes.
• Outdoor, shielded Category 6 (or above) cabling and
shielded RJ-45 connectors are required for all wired Ethernet
connections.
¹ Check your local/regional regulations for the maximum antenna gain
allowed for your application.
² Requires Universal Bracket (included) or AF-5G-OMT-S45 Conversion Kit
(notincluded).

Management Port 10/100 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.
Reset Button To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the
Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the device is
already poweredon.
Data Port Gigabit PoE port for handling all user traffic and
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-4X is fully
booted.
Signal Level Once fully booted, the Signal 1-4 LEDs act as a
bar graph showing how close the AF-4X 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-4X. 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 Signal4 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-4X 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 MGMTport.
• Configure the AF-4X.
• Install a ground wire and mount the AF-4X on an
airFiber X or RocketDish antenna.
• At the installation site, install the airFiber X or RocketDish
antenna with the mounted AF-4X 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
3. Lift the release latch on the bottom of the AF-4X and slide
the Port Cover off.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to the DATA port.
5. Connect the Ethernet cable from the DATA port of the
AF-4X to the POE port of the adapter.
WARNING: Use only the included adapter, model
GP-H240-100G-4. Failure to do so can damage the
unit and void the product warranty.
6. Connect the Power Cord to the adapter’s power port.
Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a poweroutlet.
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-4X as the Master and the
other as the Slave.
• Frequency Setting The operating Frequency must be the
same on both the Master and the Slave.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the
MGMT port on the AF-4X.
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
address field and press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
