AF-5X User Guide
When the AF-5X operates in a DFS country, it performs a
Channel Availability Check (CAC) before operating. The rules vary by country and frequency, but in general:
•
FCC domains
If the AF-5X operates in the DFS band (5.4
GHz band), then the following rule applies:
• If the TX and RX Frequencies are the same, then the
AF-5X performs a 60-second check on the Master only.
• If the TX and RX Frequencies are different, then the
AF-5X performs a 60-second check on both the Master and Slave.
•
ETSI domains
For most frequencies, the AF-5X performs a 60-second check on the Master and Slave; however, if it operates in the 5600-5650 MHz range, then the AF-5X performs a 10-minute check.
While the AF-5X is performing this check, the RF Link Status displays DFS CAC, and the RF Link Timeout is displayed.
If radar is detected, the RF Link Status displays RADAR
Detected, and the RF Link Timeout is displayed.
RF Link Timeout
(Available only if the RF Link Status is DFS CAC or RADAR Detected.) During the DFS CAC or
RADAR Detected state, the RF Link Timeout counts down the time remaining before the AF-5X can move to the next
RF link state.

DFS false detections when operating on DFS frequencies.
Cable Loss
Enter the cable loss in dB of the cable that is used in your installation. An improper value could cause
DFS false detections when operating on DFS frequencies.
Maximum Modulation Rate or Modulation Rate
Higher modulations support greater throughput but generally require stronger RF signals and a higher Signal-to-Noise
Ratio (SNR). By default, Automatic Rate Adaptation is enabled, and Maximum Modulation Rate is displayed.
This allows the AF-5X to automatically adjust the modulation rate to changing RF signal conditions. Under certain conditions, you may prefer to lock the Maximum
Modulation Rate to a lower setting to improve link performance.
When Automatic Rate Adaptation is disabled, Modulation
Rate is displayed. Lock the Modulation Rate to the setting of your choice.

Master TX Duty Cycle
Use this to change the duty cycle of the RF link (the Master’s TX percentage). Choose one of the following values: 25%, 33%, 50%, 67%, or 75%.
Output Power (EIRP)
Defines the maximum average transmit output power (in dBm) of the AF-5X. To specify the output power, use the slider or manually enter the output power value. The transmit power level maximum is limited according to country regulations.
Note: The Antenna Gain and Cable Loss should be configured before the Output Power. This is because the range of the Output Power field is affected by the
Antenna Gain and Cable Loss values – changing the antenna gain or cable loss adjusts the maximum and minimum values you can select using the Output
Power slider. Since the Output Power already includes the antenna gain and cable loss, it represents EIRP; therefore, the value of Output Power is actually the total power the radio is transmitting over the air. The current transmit power is displayed by the TX Power
EIRP setting on the Main tab.
Note: The AF-5X may limit the output power to a value less than the value specified by this field, to comply with regulatory region requirements. For a list of maximum output power values by country
and region, refer to “Frequency Ranges and Power
Levels per Country/Region” on page 41.

Management Network Settings
In-Band Management
Enabled by default. In-band management is available through the local Data port or the Data port at the other end of the link.
Note: If In-Band Management is enabled, ensure that each airFiber radio of a link has a unique IP Address. If the airFiber radios use the same IP Address, then you may lose access via the Data ports.
Management IP Address
The AF-5X can use a static IP address or obtain an IP address from its DHCP server.
•
DHCP
Keep the default, DHCP, to use DHCP reservation on your router to assign a unique IP Address. The local
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
DHCP server assigns a reserved IP address, gateway IP address, and DNS address to the AF-5X.
Note: If you select the DHCP option, ensure that you use DHCP reservation because if you do not know the IP address, then the only way to manage the AF-5X is to reset the AF-5X to its factory default settings. (Press and hold the Reset button for more than five seconds.) Its default Management IP
Address is reset to 192.168.1.20.
-
DHCP Fallback IP
Specify the IP address the AF-5X should use if a DHCP server is not found.
-
DHCP Fallback Netmask
Specify the netmask the
AF-5X should use if a DHCP server is not found.

Note: IP settings should be consistent with the address space of the AF-5X’s network segment.
19
airFiber
®
AF-5X User Guide
-
IP Address
Specify the IP address of the AF-5X. This IP will be used for device management purposes.
-
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 AF-5X’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 AF-5X directs data packets to the gateway if the destination host is not within the local network.
-
Primary DNS IP
Specify the IP address of the primary
DNS (Domain Name System) server.
-
Secondary DNS IP
Specify the IP address of the secondary DNS server. This entry is optional and used only if the primary DNS server is not responding.
Management VLAN
If enabled, automatically creates a management Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN).
•
VLAN ID
Enter a unique VLAN ID from 2 to 4094.
Auto IP Aliasing
If enabled, automatically generates an
IP address for the corresponding WLAN/LAN interface.
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 AF-5X.
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.

Wireless Settings
GPS Clock Sync
The airFiber uses GPS to synchronize the timing of its transmissions. By default, this option is disabled.
DATA Port Ethernet Settings
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
DATA Speed
This is the speed of the Data port. By default, the option is Auto. The AF-5X automatically negotiates transmission parameters, such as speed and duplex, with its counterpart. In this process, the networked devices first share their capabilities and then choose the fastest transmission mode they both support.
To manually specify the maximum transmission link speed and duplex mode, select one of the following options: 100 Mbps‑Full, 100 Mbps‑Half, 10 Mbps‑Full, or
10 Mbps‑Half.
Full-duplex mode allows communication in both directions simultaneously. Half-duplex mode allows communication in one direction at a time, alternating between transmission and reception.
Flow Control
If enabled, the AF-5X generates and responds to Ethernet layer PAUSE frames. The AF-5X regulates inbound traffic from the customer’s network to avoid buffer overflows within the AF-5X. Flow control has the effect of controlling the inter-packet spacing of packets headed into the airFiber Data interface.
Multicast Filter
If enabled, the filter blocks multicast traffic from overloading the CPU when in-band management is enabled. This allows the AF-5X to be managed in-band when the customer’s network is carrying large volumes of multicast traffic, such as IPTV.
The filter does not block multicast traffic going over the radio; it simply blocks it from reaching the airFiber’s management interface CPU.
Track Radio Link
If this option is enabled, the AF-5X disconnects the Data port’s Ethernet link when the RF link is lost (The Management port is never disabled by this option). The Track Radio Link option is useful because it quickly indicates a “link lost” condition to the customer’s routing equipment (such as a direct connection to
OSPF-enabled routers).
21
airFiber

AF-5X User Guide
•
Disabled
The Track Radio Link option is disabled by default. The Data port’s Ethernet link will always remain up regardless of the RF link state.
•
Use Timeout Duration
This option is designed for use by operators who are using in-band management. Two timers control the Data port’s Ethernet link.
RF Link
Goes down for the first time
Goes down for the second time
Ethernet Link
The Ethernet link goes down and remains down for the number of seconds specified by the Link Off Duration timer.
The Ethernet link will then come back up so that the AF-5X can be managed even when the RF link is down.
The Ethernet link remains up as long as time remains on the
Link Off Spacing timer.
When the Link Off
Spacing timer elapses, then the Ethernet link goes down again for the number of seconds specified by the Link
Off Duration timer. (This happens only if the RF link is still down.)
Notes
Even if the RF link goes back up before the
Link Off Duration timer elapses, the Ethernet link remains down.
The Ethernet link’s downtime is long enough to signal to the customer’s routing equipment that the path is lost.
The Ethernet link’s uptime is long enough so the operator has enough time to access the AF-5X, make configuration changes, and save those changes.
Sufficient Ethernet link uptime is vital when a
RF link is constantly up and down.
If the Use Timeout Duration option is enabled, the Track
Radio Link option and the following timers are enabled:
-
Link Off Duration
The Link Off Duration timer controls the length of time the Data port’s Ethernet link will be down if the RF link goes down. Enter the number of seconds that the Ethernet link should be offline. For example, if this is set to 10 seconds, then when the RF link goes down, the Ethernet link will go down and remain down for 10 seconds (regardless of the RF link state), and then it will go back up.
-
Link Off Spacing
The Link Off Spacing timer controls the length of time the AF-5X will wait before allowing the Data port’s Ethernet link to go down for a second time if the RF link goes down again. Enter the minimum interval (in seconds) between offline events of the Ethernet link, regardless of the RF link status.
The value for Link Off Spacing should be larger than the value for Link Off Duration, and it should be enough time for the operator to access the AF-5X, make any configuration changes, and apply those changes.
Chapter 7: Advanced Tab
Note: If the Link Off Spacing timer is set to
0 seconds, then the Ethernet link will only use the
Link Off Duration timer. If the Link Off Duration timer is set to 10 seconds and the RF link goes down, then the Ethernet link will go down for
10 seconds and then go back up regardless of the
RF link state. If the RF link is still down, then the
Ethernet link will not go down again until the RF link goes back up and then down again.
Here are a couple of examples involving the use of the
Use Timeout Duration option.
• Example #1
•
Link Off Duration
5 seconds
•
Link Off Spacing
60 seconds
The Data port’s Ethernet link will be initially disconnected when the RF link first goes down. That event will start a 60-second timer. The Ethernet link will remain offline for 5 seconds (regardless of the RF link status) and then come back online. The Ethernet link will remain online (regardless of the RF link state) until the 60-second timer expires.
• Example #2
•
Link Off Duration
20 seconds
•
Link Off Spacing
120 seconds
The Data port’s Ethernet link will be initially disconnected when the RF link first goes down. That event will start a 120-second timer. The RF link goes back up after 10 seconds; however, that does not affect the Ethernet link. The Ethernet link will remain offline for 20 seconds and then come back online.
The RF link goes down again after 60 seconds; however, that does not affect the Ethernet link.
The Ethernet link will then remain online until the
120-second timer expires.
•
Enabled
This option is designed for use by operators who are not using in-band management. The Track
Radio Link option is enabled without timers, so the Data port’s Ethernet link follows the RF link state exactly. If the RF link goes down, then the Ethernet link goes down and remains down until the RF link goes back up.
