Console Port

RJ45 serial console port for Command Line Interface (CLI) management. Use an RJ45-to-DB9 serial console cable, also known as a rollover cable, to connect the Console port to your computer. Then configure the following settings as needed:

  • Baud rate: 115200
  • Data bits: 8
  • Parity: NONE
  • Stop bits: 1
  • Flow control: NONE

SFP+ (Ports 1 - 8)

SFP+ ports are hot-swappable and support 10 Gbps fiber SFP modules.

RJ45 (Port 0)

RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections.

Reset Button

Resets to factory defaults. The UniFi Gateway should be running after bootup is complete. Press and hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds until the System LED starts flashing and then becomes solidly lit. After a few seconds, the LED will turn off, and the UniFi Gateway will automatically reboot.

AC/DC PSU Module

One hot-swappable AC/DC PSU module is included.

PSU 2 Module Bay

An optional AC/DC PSU module can be installed in the PSU 2 Module Bay. You also have the option to use a DC/DC PowerModule, model RPS-DC-100W (sold separately).

Touch LCM

Ports 1-4

Information on each SFP+ port:

  • Port Speed: 1G or 10G

Note: There are two groups of ports: ports 1-4 and ports 5-8. All ports in each group operate at the same speed. For example, if port 1 is set to 1G, then ports 2-4 will also operate at 1G.

  • Port Number: 1 to 4
  • Interface Type: - Primary WAN; - Other WAN; - LAN port
  • Throughput: Upload (blue) and download (green) throughput speeds
  • disconnected: Port is disconnected
  • disabled: Port is disabled

Select any port to display its Statistics screen.

Ports 5-8

Information on each SFP+ port:

  • Port Speed: 1G or 10G

Note: There are two groups of ports: ports 1-4 and ports 5-8. All ports in each group operate at the same speed. For example, if port 5 is set to 10G, then ports 6-8 will also operate at 10G.

  • Port Number: 5 to 8
  • Interface Type: - Primary WAN; - Other WAN; - LAN port
  • Throughput: Upload (blue) and download (green) throughput speeds
  • disconnected: Port is disconnected
  • disabled: Port is disabled

Select any port to display its Statistics screen.

  • IP address of the primary WAN port

Port 0

Information on RJ45 port 0:

  • Interface Type: - Primary WAN; - Other WAN; - LAN port
  • Throughput: Upload (blue) and download (green) throughput speeds

Select Port 0 to display its Statistics screen.

Statistics

Statistics on uploaded (blue) and downloaded (green) data on the selected port (SFP+ ports 1-8 or RJ45 port 0):

  • Throughput: Total throughput speed in bps/kbps/Mbps/Gbps
  • Bytes: Total bytes (B)*
  • Packets: Total packets*
  • Bar Graphs: Plots of data uploaded and downloaded

Port Details

Details on the selected port (SFP+ ports 1-8 or RJ45 port 0):

  • # <port><type>: Port 0 to 8; Type: WAN or LAN
  • IP address(es) assigned to the port
  • Uptime if port is up; or Disabled or Disconnected if port is down
  • Latency in ms for the Primary WAN or selected port
  • Number of clients (active connections) for the Primary WAN or selected port
