Operating System For Ubiquiti M Series Products Release Version: 5.5
Operating System For Ubiquiti M Series Products Release Version: 5.5
(recommended), or you can go to each client individually.
Try to upgrade to a higher-gain antenna (to allow a better
data rate), or upgrade to a 2x2 device if you are using a
1x1 device.
airSelect Indicates the airSelect status. If airSelect is
enabled, airSync is not available. Access airSelect setup
through the Ubiquiti Logo tab > airSelect.
Hop Interval Available if airSelect is enabled. The duration
(in milliseconds) that the AP will stay on one frequency
before moving to the next.
airSync (GPS Series Only) Indicates the airSync status. If
airSync is enabled, airSelect is not available, and the device
in Master mode reports the number of airSync-enabled
devices in Slave mode. Access airSync setup through the
Ubiquiti Logo tab > airSync.
GPS Signal Quality (GPS Series Only) Displays GPS
signal quality as a percentage value on a scale of 0-100%.
Latitude/Longitude (GPS Series Only) Based on
GPS tracking, reports the devices current latitude and
longitude. Clicking the link opens the reported latitude
and longitude in a browser using Google Maps
(http://maps.google.com).
Altitude (GPS Series Only) Based on GPS tracking,
reports the devices current altitude above sea level.
Monitor
There are various monitoring tools accessible via the
links on the Main tab. The default is Throughput, which is
displayed when you first open the Main tab.
Throughput
Throughput displays the current data traffic on the LAN
and WLAN in both graphical and numerical form. The
chart scale and throughput dimension (Bps, Kbps, Mbps)
change dynamically depending on the mean throughput
value. The statistics are updated automatically.
Refresh If there is a delay in the automatic update, click
Refresh to manually update the statistics.

/WPA2
security methods will not work; instead, use
none or the WEP security method (this may
compromise the security of your network).
You still have the option of using RADIUS MAC
authentication and MAC ACL.
WDS (Transparent Bridge Mode) (Available in Access
Point or Station mode only.) In most cases, we recommend
that you use WDS because it enables transparent Layer2
traffic. To use WDS with Station or Access Point mode,
check the Enable box.
The WDS protocol is not defined as a standard, so there
may be compatibility issues between equipment from
different vendors.
Station (WDS) Station (WDS) mode should be used if
the device is connecting to an AP in Access Point (WDS)
mode.
Access Point (WDS) Access Point (WDS) mode allows
Layer2 bridging with devices in Station (WDS) mode.
Note: If you connect devices running in Station
(WDS) mode to a device running in Access
Point (WDS) mode, then all security methods
(including WPA/WPA2 encryption) are available
and work properly.
Auto (Available in AP-Repeater mode only.) Check the
Auto box to automatically establish WDS connections
between APs in AP-Repeater mode. If the Auto option
is enabled, the device will choose WDS Peers (APs in
AP-Repeater mode) according to the SSID setting. While
the device is in AP-Repeater mode, you cannot enable the
Auto option if you use any type of WPA or WPA2 security
because WPA or WPA2 requires different roles on AP
configuration (authenticator or supplicant).
Note: All APs in AP-Repeater mode (WDS Peers)
must operate on the same frequency channel, use
the same channel spectrum width, and share the
same security settings.
WDS Peers (Available in AP-Repeater mode only.) If you
do not enable the Auto option, then specify the APs in
AP-Repeater mode. Enter the MAC address of each AP
in each WDS Peers field. One MAC address should be
specified for a Point-to-Point (PtP) connection use case.
You can specify up to six WDS Peers for a Point-to-Multi-
Point (PtMP) connection use case.
SSID If the device is operating in Access Point or
AP-Repeater mode, specify the wireless network name or
SSID (Service Set Identifier) used to identify your WLAN.
All the client devices within range will receive broadcast
messages from the AP advertising this SSID.
If the device is operating in Station mode, specify the
SSID of the AP the device is associated with. There can be
several APs with an identical SSID.
Select (Available in Station mode only.) To display the list
of available APs, click Select.
The Site Survey tool will search for available wireless
networks in range on all supported channels and allow
you to select one for association. In case the selected
network uses encryption, youll need to configure security
on the Wireless tab and save those changes before you use
the Site Survey tool.
Lock to AP Select the AP from the list. Click Lock to AP
to allow the station to always maintain a connection to
an AP with a specific MAC address.
Select Select the AP from the list and click Select for
association.
Scan Click Scan to refresh the list of available wireless
networks.
You can change the list of Scanned Frequencies for the
Site Survey using the Frequency Scan List option.
Lock to AP MAC (Available in Station mode only.) This
allows the station to always maintain a connection
to an AP with a specific MAC address. This is useful as
sometimes there can be multiple APs using the same SSID.
Enter a MAC address in the Lock to AP MAC field, and the
station will lock to the AP with this specific MAC address
and not roam between several APs with the same SSID.
Hide SSID (Available in Access Point or AP-Repeater
mode only.) When Hide SSID is enabled, the SSID (wireless
network name) will not be broadcast to wireless stations.
