Ports Signal Level  Once fully booted, the Signal 1-4 LEDs act
as a bar graph showing how close the airFiber X radio
is to ideal aiming. This is auto-scaled based on the link
range, the antenna gains, and the configured TX power
of the remote airFiber X radio. Each Signal LED has three
possible states: On, Flashing, and Off. All Signal LEDs would
be solidly on in an ideal link. If the link has a 1 dB loss, the
Signal 4 LED will flash; a 2 dB loss and the Signal 4 LED will
turn off. The full bar graph LED states are shown below.

Tips
• To accurately align the airFiber X radios for best
performance, you MUST align only one end of the link at
a time.
• 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 X radios.
Note: If you have AF-5X radios mounted in an
airFiber Multiplexer (AF-MPx4 or AF-MPx8),
perform the procedure in “Establishing a Link”
on page 9 on one radio only. This will help
ensure maximum success in registrations. Refer to
“AF-5X and airFiber Multiplexer” on page 43
for additional information on airFiber Multiplexer

-- Netmask  When the netmask is expanded into its
binary form, it provides a mapping to define which
portions of the IP address range are used for the
network devices and which portions are used for host
devices. The netmask defines the address space of the
airFiber X radio’s network segment. The 255.255.255.0
(or “/24”) netmask is commonly used on many Class C
IP networks.
-- Gateway IP  Typically, this is the IP address of the host
router, which provides the point of connection to the
Internet. This can be a DSL modem, cable modem, or
WISP gateway router. The airFiber X radio directs data
packets to the gateway if the destination host is not

The generated IP address is a unique Class B IP address
from the 169.254.X.Y range (netmask 255.255.0.0), which
is intended for use within the same network segment
only. The Auto IP always starts with 169.254.X.Y, with X
and Y as the last two octets from the MAC address of
the airFiber X radio. For example, if the MAC address is
00:15:6D:A3:04:FB, then the generated unique Auto IP will
be 169.254.4.251. (The hexadecimal value, FB, converts to
the decimal value, 251.)
The Auto IP Aliasing setting can be useful because you
can still access and manage devices even if you lose,
misconfigure, or forget their IP addresses. Because an
Auto IP address is based on the last two octets of the MAC
address, you can determine the IP address of a device if
you know its MAC address.

Reboot Device  Initiates a full reboot cycle of the

airFiber X radio. 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.

Note: This appendix applies to the airFiber AF‑5X
radio when used with the airFiber NxN Multiplexer.
The following provides important information for using
the AF-5X radio with the airFiber NxN Multiplexer (models
AF-MPx4 or AF-MPx8). For a successful deployment,
ensure that all additional steps are taken and that all
information is taken into consideration.
• During initial configuration of each AF-5X radio, input
the additional cable loss associated with the multiplexer,
and enable the NxN Radio setting. For details, refer to
Step 6 of “airFiber Configuration” on page 4.
• When performing antenna alignment, perform the
procedure in “Establishing a Link” on page 9 on
one radio only. This will help ensure maximum success
in registrations.
• After the first radio has been aligned with the other side
of the link, ensure that the TX power balance is present.
• To maintain 8x performance, maximum TX power
should not exceed 19-20 dBm.
• If 8x performance cannot be achieved at these TX power
levels, it may be possible to improve performance by
increasing channel spacing.

Opportunities for Other Transmitters

to Operate
No differences are performed between start-up mode
and operational mode. The Master/Slave device goes
into an energy scanning mode where it is allowed to do
one full cycle of energy detection before it is allowed to
transmit. The scan is a mode where the average energy
is accumulated to compare against the programmed
detection threshold. If the energy detected is less than the
detection threshold, the Master/Slave device is allowed to
make a transmission.
In normal operational mode the system does not allow
any transmission once the threshold has been detected.
Once the energy is no longer present will the system
begin to transmit again.
The Master and Slave uses the energy detected prior to
each transmit frame to control the muting of the transmit
function.
At any load level (no load, typical, or overload), the
system transmits data based on the configuration for the
uplink/downlink ratio The same amount of bandwidth is
reserved for channel detection, so performance remains
unaffected.
If there are two AF-3X systems on a co-channel, they
would share the spectrum as follows:
• Since the system is a synchronized frame-based system,
both systems would operate effectively with each other
because each system can be configured to transmit and
receive at the same point in time. The system uses a
GPS synchronization to time-align the start-of-frame for
all systems deployed.
• If the users configure the number of uplink and
downlink slots and the duty cycle (uplink/downlink
ratio) in an identical manner and each system uses the
same set of uncommitted uplink slots for the detection
sampling interval, then the two systems will co-exist
with no knowledge of the others presence.
• Each system listens prior to transmit and if it detects
activity yields to the other system.
• The system will shut down when the accumulated
energy is above the detection threshold and will
continue to transmit if it is below the detection
threshold. When the co-channel system is clear of the
channel then the target system will go back into regular
operation. Regular operation will consist of a constant
averaging of the energy detected in the uplink slots.
