AirOS Introduction
The design goal of AirOS was simplicity and power. Unlike previous and current
market-leading wireless or router operating systems that are complex and require a
training investment, Ubiquiti set out to make an advanced operating system capable of
powerful wireless and routing features, but was built upon a simple, clean, intuitive
user interface foundation.
Our goal is to make AirOS simple enough for the operator, customer, or new technician
to easily understand, configure, and deploy. At the same time, it is rapidly evolving
towards a path of new powerful networking and wireless features strongly derived
from customer interaction and feedback. Our goal is to make AirOs both the most
advanced operating system on the market and the most intuitive, easy to deploy.
Configuration Guide
This guide presents the detailed description of the AirOS operating system which is
integrated into long-range embedded systems (LiteStation2, LiteStation5), CPE
(NanoStation2, NanoStation5), and outdoor wireless platforms (PowerStation2,
PowerStation5) manufactured by Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.

Configuration Management Menu
Each of the web management pages (listed below) contain parameters that affect a
specific aspect of the device:
Main
page displays current status of the device and the statistical information. There
are useful network administration and monitoring tools available in Main page also (i.e.
speed test utility, site survey functionality in
AP
mode).
Link Setup
page contains the controls for a wireless network configuration, while
covering basic wireless settings which define device operating modes, associating
details, data security options.
Network
page covers the configuration network operating modes,
IP
settings,
packet
filtering routines and network services (i.e.
DHCP Server
).
Advanced
page settings are dedicated for more precise wireless interface control. It
also includes antenna polarity, traffic shaping and
QoS
settings.
Services
page covers the configuration of system management services (i.e.
SNMP
,
NTP
, Ping Watchdog).
System
page contains controls for system maintenance routines, administrator
account management, device customization and configuration backup.
