Installation Requirements
• Phillips screwdriver
• 7 mm socket wrench
• Ground wire – min. 10 AWG (5 mm2) and max. length: 1m. Asa
safety precaution, ground the EdgePoint to a grounded mast,
pole, tower, or grounding bar.
• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all
wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through
the AC ground of the PoE.
• We recommend that you protect your networks from
harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events
with industrial‑grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks. For more details, visit: www.ubnt.com/toughcable
TERMS OF USE: Shielded Ethernet cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product
warranty. TOUGHCable™is designed for outdoor installations. It is the customer’s responsibility to
follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power,
and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

Reset
There are two methods to reset the EP‑R6 to
factory defaults:
• Runtime reset (recommended) The
EP‑R6 should be running after bootup is
complete. Press and hold the Reset button
for about 10seconds until the eth4 LED
starts flashing and then becomes solidly lit.
After a few seconds, the LED will turn off,
and the EP‑R6 will automatically reboot.
• Power-on reset Disconnect power from
the EP‑R6. Press and hold the Reset button
while connecting power to the EP‑R6. Keep
holding the button until the eth4 LED starts
flashing and then stops flashing after a few
seconds.

Power Options
Either the VDC input or PoE input is used at any one time. If both
input types are connected, only the input type with the highest
voltage will be used; the other can be used as a backup. Any of the
input options can power any of the output options.
Power Input Options
• 24VDC, 3A
• 24V, 1.4A on eth0 (PoE In)
Power Output Options
• EdgePoint (required)
• Passive 24V, 2‑Pair PoE on
eth0-eth4
The number of devices that can be powered depends on the
power consumption of the specific devices. For example, if
you provide 24VDC, 1.25A, then you have 30W of power. If the
EdgePoint uses 7W (Max. Power Consumption), then you have
23W available for passive PoE output. Please check product
specifications for the power consumption values to use in your
calculations.

Connecting Ethernet
1. Connect the Ethernet cables to ports in this range: eth0‑eth4.
Note: PoE is disabled by default.
2. You can create a strain relief for any Ethernet cable by feeding
a cable tie (not included) through the tie slot under the cable.
Then wrap the cable tie around the cable and tighten.
3. Connect the other ends of the Ethernet cables to your
networkdevices.

1. Wire one end of the DC power cable to the VDC terminal block.
2. When you are finished, replace the port cover.
Optional: You can use an M4x6 set screw (not included) to
secure the port cover.
3. Wire the other end of the cable to a DC power supply. (Wiring
will depend on your device.)
4. Connect the DC power supply to its power source.

2. Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.1 in the
address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
3. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the Username
and Password fields. 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.
The EdgeOS Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to
customize your settings as needed. You can click the Wizards tab
to access the Setup Wizard. For information on PoE configuration,
refer to the Configuring PoE Settings section.

Accessing the EdgeOS® Configuration Interface

Configuring PoE Settings
WARNING: Before activating 24V passive PoE, ensure
that the connected device supports PoE and the
suppliedvoltage.
1. Go to Actions > PoE for the interface you want to configure.
2. Select 24V from the PoE drop‑down menu.
Note: If the PoE screen states that PoE is not supported,
then there is insufficient power. You will need to increase
the power input to the EdgePoint.
3. ClickSave.
