How do I use net-mgmt/unifi{2,3,4} for Ubiquity UAP-PRO?

I have just received a new Ubiquity UAP-PRO access point.

I would like to be able to use it.

I first tried <http://downloads.ubnt.com/unifi>; that only has links
for MacOS and MS Windows.  I ran nmap, and found that 22/tcp seems
to be open, but I was unable to guess a login & password combination.
I wrote to <support at ubnt.com> and received a pointer to
<https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Updates-Blog/UniFi-3-2-7-is-released/ba-p/1085473>,
which includes:

The seeme dto require databases/mongodb, so I built & installed that
(bringing in archivers/snappy and lang/v8 in the process).

That done, I fixed the mongod symlink, then tried

	java -jar lib/ace.jar start

That seemed to "do stuff" for a bit (quietly), then settle down to doing
gettimeofday() calls (according to ktrace output).  I failed to find
this useful.

A bit of poking around on the Net made me aware of
net-mgmt/unifi{2,3,4}, so I looked at the pkg-descr files, and decided
to try one of them.

Given that this is a new device, I figured I'd try unifi4.  It
installed... but now what?  It doesn't seem to have installed any
executables.  And (semi-)blindly hacking yields:

That doesn't seem particularly useful, either.

So ... now what??!?

Thanks....

Peace,
