EdgeRouter X SFP


Power Adapter (24V, 2.5A)


Power Cord

Installation Requirements

For indoor applications, use Category 5 (or above) UTP cabling approved for indoor use.
For outdoor applications, shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the power supply.
We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti. For more details, visit: ui.com/toughcable

	Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the EdgeRouter itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure.

Accessing the EdgeOS Configuration Interface

The EdgeOS® configuration interface can be accessed via DHCP or static IP address assignment. By default, eth1 is set up as a DHCP client, while eth0 is assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.1. To configure the EdgeRouter, proceed to the appropriate section: DHCP or “Static IP Address”.

DHCP

Connect an Ethernet cable from eth1 on the EdgeRouter to a LAN segment that has an existing DHCP server.
To check the IP address of the EdgeRouter, use one of the following methods:
- Set up the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to the EdgeRouter based on its MAC address (on the label).
- Let the EdgeRouter obtain an IP address and then check the DHCP server to see which IP address was assigned.
Launch your web browser. Enter the appropriate IP address in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).

The EdgeOS Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize your settings as needed. For more information, refer to the EdgeOS User Guide, which is available at ui.com/download/edgemax

For more information on PoE configuration, refer to “Configuring PoE Settings”.

Static IP Address

Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your computer to the port labeled eth0 on the EdgeRouter.
Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.1 in the address field, and press enter (PC) or return (Mac).

UISP Management

You can also manage your device using the Ubiquiti Internet Service Provider. UISP™ lets you configure, monitor, upgrade, and back up your devices using a single application. Get started at uisp.ui.com

Configuring PoE Settings

The PoE setting for ports eth0-eth4 is set to Off by default.

	WARNING: Before activating 24V passive PoE, ensure that the connected device supports PoE and the supplied voltage.

On the Dashboard screen, go to Actions > PoE for the interface you want to configure.
Select Off or 24V from the PoE drop-down menu.
Click Save.
