Hardware Overview Reset Button Ethernet Port Ethernet Port This PoE port is used for handling all user traffic and powering the device. Reset Button To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the device is already powered on. Release Button To detach the AF‑LTU from the antenna, rotate the device counterclockwise while depressing the Release Button. (To detach the AF‑LTU from a horn, rotate the horn instead of the device.
LEDs GPS LINK Signal Ethernet Ethernet Activity Link Signal 1-4 These LEDs light the following colors when on: 1 • • • • Signal 1 Signal 2 Signal 3 Signal 4 2 3 4 LED will light red when on. LED will light yellow when on. LED will light green when on. LED will light blue when on. Bootup to airOS® When powering on, the 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.

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 the tower • (Recommended) 2 Outdoor Gigabit PoE surge protectors Note: For guidelines about grounding and lightning protection, follow your local electrical regulatory codes.
Connecting Power over Ethernet 1. Remove the port cover by lifting up the latch of the cover and sliding the cover out. 2. Remove the rubber gasket from its slot in the housing of the AF-LTU.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port. 4. Fit the rubber gasket over the Ethernet cable. Then slide the gasket down the cable and reseat it in the slot.
5. Replace the port cover. 6. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the POE port of the Gigabit PoE adapter. WARNING: Use only the included adapter, model POE‑24V‑AFX. Failure to do so can damage the unit and void the product warranty. 7. Connect the Power Cord to the adapter’s power port. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.
airFiber Configuration The following instructions explain how to access the airFiber Configuration Interface and configure the following settings: • Wireless Mode Configure one AF‑LTU 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. This section also explains how to enable remote access to the airFiber Configuration Interface using the Bluetooth interface of the AF‑LTU. 1.
6. Click the Settings icon and then click the Services tab. 7. Configure the following Bluetooth settings: a. Specify the Mode: BR/EDR (classic) or Low Energy (BLE). b. Select Web Server if you want mobile devices to have access to the airFiber Configuration Interface via Bluetooth. c. Select SSH Server if you want to enable secure communications on the Bluetooth interface. d. Specify the radio’s Bluetooth IP Address by entering its last octet in the range of 2 to 14.
9. Click the Wireless tab. 10. Configure the Basic Wireless Settings: a. For one AF‑LTU, select Master as the Wireless Mode. For the other AF‑LTU, select Slave as the Wireless Mode. b. Enter a name in the Link Name field. This should be the same on both the Master and the Slave. c. Select your Country. Note: The Country setting for U.S. product versions is restricted to a choice of Canada, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. to ensure compliance with FCC/ IC regulations. d.
15. Configure each airFiber radio with a unique IP address for the Ethernet port: a. Click the Network tab. b. For the DLAN IP Address option: -- DHCP Keep the default, DHCP, to use DHCP reservation on your router to assign a unique IP Address. You can also specify the DHCP Fallback IP and DHCP Fallback Netmask to use in case the radio fails to acquire an IP from the DHCP server. -- Static Change the IP Address, Netmask, and other settings to make them compatible with your network. c.
Hardware Installation Mount to an U-OMT-Dish Antenna Follow the instructions in this section to mount the AF‑LTU to an airFiber U-OMT-Dish antenna. 1. Holding the AF‑LTU radio with the Port Cover facing you, insert it into the Rear Housing and turn clockwise until it locks in place. 2. Finish mounting the antenna assembly by following the instructions in the antenna’s Quick Start Guide. 3.
Connecting to the PoE Adapter 1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the AF‑LTU to the POE port on the PoE Adapter. 2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the LAN port on the PoE Adapter. 3. Connect the Power Cord to the PoE Adapter, and then plug the Power Cord into a power outlet. Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional) 1. Remove the PoE Mounting Bracket from the adapter, place the bracket at the desired location, and mark the two holes. 2.
Surge Protection For added protection, install two surge suppressors, such as the Ubiquiti Ethernet Surge Protector, model ETH-SP, at the end of each link. 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. Max.
Alignment Tip • You may need to use additional hardware to compensate for issues such as the improper orientation of a mounting pole or significant elevation differences between airFiber radios. Establishing a Link Position the Master antenna to illuminate the desired area based on topology and antenna beamwidth. The following section features the U-OMT-Dish antenna: Note: The Slave does not transmit any RF signal until it detects transmissions from the Master. 1. Visually aim the Slave at the Master.
The elevation angle may be adjusted ±15°. Adjust the elevation angle: d. Loosen the four Hex Bolts on both sides of the antenna. e. Pivot the antenna to the desired elevation. f. Tighten the four Hex Bolts. 2. Check to see if a link is established. Ensure that the LINK LED is solidly lit white and the Signal LEDs of the Slave are displaying signal levels. 3. Aim the Slave at the Master to achieve the strongest signal level on the Master.
4. Repeat step 3 until you achieve an optimal link, with all four Signal LEDs solidly lit. This ensures the best possible data rate between the airFiber radios. 5. Lock the alignment on both airFiber antennas by tightening all the nuts and bolts. 6. Observe the Signal LEDs of the Slave to ensure that the values remain constant while tightening the nuts and bolts.
Installer Compliance Responsibility Devices must be professionally installed and it is the professional installer’s responsibility to make sure the device is operated within local country regulatory requirements.
