Failure to obtain DHCP lease from Rocket M3
I have a brand new, out of the box, Rocket M3, that I am unable to obtain a DHCP lease from.

1. I have tried two different laptops.
     a. Windows 7, newly staged.
     b. Xubuntu 14.04
     c. Both laptops can obtain a lease from my local
 network.
2. I have tried three different power supplies.

3. I have tried several different cables, tested of course.

4. I even tried another factory firmware flashed Ubiquity device. Same issue.

I've done dozen's of these devices in the AREDN space and this stumps me.

Or, put another way, HELP!

Cheers!

I am assuming a lot here, but trying to help anyways...

Factory Ubiquiti devices typically run with a static IP address arrangement from the factory.  They won't issue IP addresses out-of-box.

Hey Chuck! Did that same
Hey Chuck! Did that same thing myself two weeks ago with a 5.6 GHz Rocket with factory firmware still installed. Thought I'd bricked it somehow.
