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
Hardware Overview
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
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 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.
3. Launch your web browser. Enter the appropriate IP address in the address field.
Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
4. 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.

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
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your computer to the port
labeled eth0 on the EdgeRouter.
