Discovery

The Device Discovery tool searches for all Ubiquiti devices
on your network. The Search field automatically filters
devices containing specified names or numbers as you
enter them.

It reports the MAC Address, Device Name, Mode, SSID,
Product type, Firmware version, and IP Address for each
Ubiquiti device. To access a device configuration through
its web management interface, click the device’s IP
address.
To refresh the window, click Scan.

Ping

You can ping other devices on the network directly from
the airFiber AF‑5. The Ping tool uses ICMP packets to check
the preliminary link quality and packet latency estimation
between two network devices.
