Installation Requirements
- Phillips and flathead screwdrivers
- Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with an available 1U space
- 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
|
IMPORTANT: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the EdgeSwitch itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure. |

|
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this EdgeSwitch to rain or moisture. |

|
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR ADEQUATE AIRFLOW. |

Hardware Installation
OR
Daisy-Chain (Optional)
All data ports are available as uplink ports. If you want to daisy-chain EdgeSwitch A and B, we recommend that you connect an Ethernet cable from port 8 of EdgeSwitch A to port 1 of EdgeSwitch B.
|
Note: PoE is disabled by default on all numbered ports and is not available on the Management port. To enable PoE on the appropriate ports, use the Ports tab in the Configuration Interface. |

Accessing the Configuration Interface
Connect to the Configuration Interface by performing the following steps:
- Ensure that your computer is connected to the Management port on the EdgeSwitch.
- Configure the Ethernet adapter on your computer with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet (e.g., 192.168.1.100).
- Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.20 in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
- Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Click Login.
Note: By default, you can configure the EdgeSwitch via any port; however, we recommend the Management port. (Access to the Configuration Interface can be limited to the Management port only. You can configure this setting on the Device tab.) |
The Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize your settings as needed.
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.
Configuring PoE Settings
|
WARNING: Before activating PoE, ensure that the connected device supports passive PoE and the supplied voltage. By default, PoE is off on each port. |
---|
- Click the Ports tab.
- On the Ports tab, select the Ethernet port you want to configure. Select the appropriate PoE Status setting, and then click Save Changes.
The PoE LED on the Ethernet port will confirm the PoE setting.
