This manual requires the Nanobeam to be factory programmed.

If any issues occur, try factory reset the device using the reset button next to the

Ethernet port. Press and hold reset until the four LEDs blink three times. It will take

about one minute until the Nanobeam can be logged on to.

These instructions are only an example of how Ubiquiti Nanobeam can be used

instead of a cable, for example between two building. Complete documentation

can be found on www.ubnt.com,

The IPaddresses on the Ubiquiti does not have to be on the same sub net as the

VAKA controllers or computer but it makes configuration easier.

After a restart, the devices require about one minute until the can be logged on to.

computer and the Nanobeam.
