How to set up Ubiquiti Nanobeam M2 as an Access Point, wired to a wired extender, on WISP?

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 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?
