Hardware

Hi guys

I have a ubiquiti rocket m5 connected to a AM-5G19 sector antenna. The "protective shroud" is missing on this antenna. Would you consider that as critical for using the antenna outside, or would you say that the rocket itself is waterproof? (according to ubiquiti support, the shrouds are not available as spare parts).

Tnx 73s

Hi
Just flashed a NanoStation M5 with AREDN. Couple of questions about the hardware, if anyone is familiar:

1. Once configured via wired connection, would I expect to be able to see the mesh SSID as a visible WiFi network from another device, eg a smartphone? Because I don't. I wonder whether this is because the NanoStation M5 is airMAX, rather than standards-compliant WiFi, and normally used for point to point links with other airMAX gear?

On the SW compatibility page there are Ubiquiti XM and XW models listed. My guess is that the XW models are more recent and have more memory etc. How can I tell the difference when shopping on Amazon, EBay, etc, since Ubiquiti doesn't seem to use this nomenclature?

The AR300 is advertised to support POE.  I have applied 5V POE to both of the ethernet ports
and nothing lights up.  Is the ad wrong?

The reset button does not do anything.
The advertised POE capability does not work.

Any hope for fixing these problems?

Thanks!

I have a bullet with dhcp turned on. I want to turn it off.
If I uncheck "dchp server" and then "save changes", the screen goes to a message saying "This site can't be reached".
If I click return, it goes back to where it was before I unclicked "dhcp server", and "dhcp server is still checked.

How do I turn off dhcp?

I am unable to get my PBX to register an extension over the mesh. See the diagram for my setup.
If I remove the mesh link, the registration works fine.  All the components work fine individually.
What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

I can access my LiteBeam M5 using an inovato Quadra (running Armbian) via the Firefox browser.
The M5 connects via a five port tp-link switch to the Quadra LAN port.
If the wifi/bluetooth USB nic is installed - the connection to the M5 is broken.
I have NOMACHINE on my Android phone and the Quadra - so the phone acts as monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
Is there any way to overcome the broken connection to the M5 when the Wifi/BT USB nic is installed?
Sure would be nice to not have to carry around a 10" monitor and a keyboard/trackpad.
Thanks

I'm trying to setup 3 Rocket M5s and one Mikrotik hAP with DTD.  I'm also trying to setup 3 LAN ports assigned to the hAP.  I can't seem to get the DTD work right with this router and the 4 NODES.  Are there any Issues with trying to do DTD with an hAP?  I've also extended the hAP land connections to 13.

Basic config is 
1 Management TTTTTTTU
2 DtD   TTTTEEEE
11 Vlan11.  EEEEUUUE

Port 1 - M5
Port 2- M5
Port 3- M5
Port 4-hAP
Port 5-LAN
port6-LAN
port7-LAN
port8-WAN
