   How to set up Ubiquiti Nanobeam M2 as an

   From: Niamh_is_Bodkin@eir.ie   
      
   I'm setting up a Ubiquiti Nanobeam M2 400 as an access point, wired to a   
   router which itself is wired to the main router, which itself is connected   
   to a WISP antenna on the roof.   
      
   Here's where I'm stuck.   
   Anyone know the next step?   
      
   First, I reset the Nanobeam to factory defaults.   
   - I connected the Nanobeam to a 12-to-24VDC 500ma-to-1A POE port RJ45.   
   - I ensured the Nanobeam first of six LEDs is lit green (power LED).   
   - I held the reset button in for about a dozen seconds (all lights flash).   
   NOTE: There is no need to cycle the power; it can stay on all this time.   
      
   Then I connected to the Nanobeam from a Windows XP computer:   
   - Connect the POE LAN port to the WinXP computer RJ45.   
   - Start > Settings > Control Panel >   
     Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections   
   - Check that the wireless Network Connection is disabled (it's too   
   confusing).   
   - Right click on the "Local Area Connection" & select "Properties".   
   - Doubleclick on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)"   
   - Write down the settings (because you need to reset them when you're   
   done).   
   - Doubleclick on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" & set is as follows:   
     (o) Use the following IP address   
         IP address 192.168.1.199 <-- use any number other than 20   
         Subnet mask 255.255.255.0   
         Default gateway 192.168.1.20   
     (o) Use the following DNS server addresses   
         Preferred DNS server 192.158.1.20   
         Alternate DNS server    
     [ok][ok]   
   - Check Nanobeam has the first two of six lights lit green (power & net).   
   - Check that the WinXP computer is on the 192.168.1.x subnet.   
     Start > Run > cmd   
     C:> ipconfig   
         Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:   
          Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :   
          IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.199   
          Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0   
          Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.20   
   - On WinXP, bring up a browser and log into http://192.168.1.20   
     Username = ubnt   
     Password = ubn   
      
   Now what?
