Chapter 1: Product Overview
Thank you for purchasing the Ubiquiti UniFi AP-Outdoor,
which is available in two models: UAP-Outdoor for 2.4 GHz
and UAP-Outdoor 5G for 5 GHz.
The UniFi AP-Outdoor works with the UniFi AP, AP-LR,
AP-Mini, and AP-Pro. For wireless uplinks, an Access Point
can only uplink to another Access Point using the same
radio band. For example, the UAP-Outdoor 5G can only
uplink to another UAP-Outdoor 5G or other AP using the
5 GHz radio band.
The UniFi AP-Outdoor includes the UniFi Controller
software, which allows you to manage your wireless
network using your Web browser. This User Guide is for
use with the UniFi AP-Outdoor and version 2.0 or above
of the UniFi Controller software. Additional information is
available on our website at
http://wiki.ubnt.com/UniFi_FAQ
The UniFi AP-Outdoor also includes the necessary
hardware for mounting the unit on a wall or a ceiling. It
supports Passive PoE, which works with the included PoE
adapter. If you want to power the UniFi AP-Outdoor from
an 802.3af compliant switch, Ubiquiti Networks offers the
optional Instant 802.3af Adapter to instantly transform
any PoE device into a fully 48V 802.3af compliant product.
