EdgeRouter X SFP Power Adapter (24V, 2.5A) Power Cord
Package Contents
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 Conguration Interface
The EdgeOS® conguration 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 congure the EdgeRouter, proceed to the appropriate section:
DHCP or
“Static IP Address” .
DHCP
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from eth1 on the EdgeRouter to a LAN segment that has an
existing DHCP server.
2. To check the IP address of the EdgeRouter, use one of the following methods:
Set up the DHCP server to provide a specic 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.
3. Launch your web browser. Enter the appropriate IP address in the address eld. Press enter
(PC) or return (Mac).
4. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password elds. Read the Ubiquiti License Agreement,
and check the box next to I agree to the terms of this License Agreement to accept it. Click
Login.

eth0 on the EdgeRouter.
2. Congure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the
192.168.1.x subnet.
3. Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.1 in the address eld, and press enter
(PC) or return (Mac).
