Beginner’s SETUP GUIDE for NANOSTATION-M2 as receiver

and other Ubiquity airMAX devices using AirOS rmware v5 (Windows/MacOS)

This guide is primarily intended for mobile users (boaters, campers and truckers) who often

computer’s network card with network cables, via the POE power injector (for a 12VDC power

source, use a passive power injector rather than the AC one normally supplied). There should then

be at least one LED lit on the back of the Nanostation. On the original Nanostation shipping box,

nd and write down the default IP address (we assume:192.168.1.20), the user name and password

(should both be “ubnt”). Do not loose this information!
