How to make powerbox work with 6 antennas

Hi.
I’d like to know how to configure two powerbox in order to feed (via poe out) 6 antennas.

I’m receiving data signal from an ubiquiti powerbeam with 192.168.1.254 ip address. Whice I’d like to be fed by one of the poe out lan ports.

I want to send signal to other 5 antennas ranging from 192.168.1.240 to 244. And fed them with the 2 powerbox.

So I’m stuck trying to figure out how to configure router to feed them and just send the signal as if the router were switches.

Thank you in advance.

You can connect to the powerboxes by mac-winbox (neighbors tab) even if they don’t have any IP (plug your laptop to any ether but ether1).

I assume you’re powering the powerboxes by their DC input jack.

To make the powerboxes plain switches:

1.- Reset both powerboxes, System > Reset Configuration, tick No Default Configuration

2.- Once rebooted, reconnect, and on both of them go to Interface > Ethernet, click on ether2,3,4,5 and set ether1 as their master port. You’re effectively creating a switch by doing this.

3.- Daisy chain powerbox B ether1 to powerbox A ether1.

4.- Plug the UBNT and any other antenna to any port on any powerbox, you’ll have 8 ether ports capable of supplying POE power..

5.- If you set IPs on the powerboxes, you should do it on top of the master interface (ether1).
