FCC labels.

2. After you have received your activation key and FCC

you provided when you requested the activation key.

4. In the Key field, enter the activation key.

airMAX Technology Features

(Available on the System

tab if the Ubiquiti logo tab is not displayed.) airMAX is
Ubiquiti’s proprietary Time Division Multiple Access
(TDMA) polling technology. airMAX offers better tolerance
against interference and increases the maximum number
of users that can associate with an AP that is airMAX-
capable.
After you have enabled this setting on the System tab,
the Ubiquiti logo tab appears. For more information, see
“airMAX Settings” on page 4.

Location

Latitude and longitude define the device’s coordinates;
they are used to automatically update the device’s
location in airControl.

Latitude

The latitude of the device’s location is displayed.

Valid values for latitude are -90 to +90.

Longitude

The longitude of the device’s location is

displayed. Valid values for longitude are -180 to +180.

Device Maintenance

The controls in this section manage the device
maintenance routines: reboot and support information
reports.

Reboot Device

Initiates a full reboot cycle of the device.

Reboot is the same as the hardware reboot, which is
similar to the power-off and power-on cycle. The system
configuration stays the same after the reboot cycle
completes. Any changes that have not been applied are
lost.

Support Info

This generates a support information

file that the Ubiquiti support engineers can use when
providing customer support. This file only needs to be
generated at their request.

Configuration Management

The controls in this section manage the device
configuration routines and the option to reset the device
to factory default settings.
The device configuration is stored in plain text file (cfg
file). You can back up, restore, or update the system
configuration file:

Back Up Configuration

Click Download to download the

current system configuration file.

Note:

We strongly recommend that you save

the configuration file in a secure location. The
configuration file includes confidential information,
such as WPA keys in plain text.

Upload Configuration

Click Choose File to locate the

new configuration file. Select the file and click Open.
We recommend that you back up your current system
configuration before uploading the new configuration.

Note:

Use only configuration files for the same

type of the device. Behavior may be unpredictable
if you mix configuration files from different types
of devices. (For example, upload a RocketM5
configuration file to a RocketM5; do NOT upload a
BulletM5 configuration file to a RocketM5.)

Upload

Click this button to upload the new configuration

file to the device. Click Apply to confirm.
After the device reboots, the settings of the new
configuration are displayed in the Wireless, Network,
Advanced, Services, and System tabs of the web
management interface.

Reset to Factory Defaults

Resets the device to the

factory default settings. This option will reboot the
device, and all factory default settings will be restored.
We recommend that you back up your current system
configuration before resetting the device to its defaults.
