Hardware Installation
Place the TOUGHSwitch on a bench top or other flat surface.
Note: Keep 20 mm of clearance next to the ventilation
holes for adequate airflow.
Installation Requirement
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 outdoor networks from
the most brutal environments and devastating ESD attacks with
industrial-grade shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti Networks.
For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the
TOUGHSwitch itself should be housed inside a protective
enclosure.
Connecting Power
1. Connect the Power Cord to the Power port of the TOUGHSwitch.
2. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.

Installation Requirement
Connecting Ethernet
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port of your
computer to the Management port of the TOUGHSwitch.
2. Connect Ethernet cables from the Ethernet ports of your
devices to the numbered ports of the TOUGHSwitch.
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.

TOUGHSwitch™PoE PRO Quick Start Guide
Accessing the Configuration Interface
Connect to the Configuration Interface by performing the
following steps:
1. Ensure that your computer (or other host machine) is
connected to the Management port on the TOUGHSwitch.
Note: By default, you can configure the TOUGHSwitch
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.)
2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a
static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet (e.g., 192.168.1.100).
3. Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.20 in the
address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
4. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the Username and
Password fields. Click Login.
The Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize
your settings as needed.

Accessing the Configuration Interface
Configuring PoE Settings
The PoE settings are set to Off by default.
WARNING: Before activating PoE, ensure that the connected
device supports passive PoE and the supplied voltage.
1. On the Status tab, click the Ports tab.
2. 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.
For detailed instructions on configuring other features, please
refer to the TOUGHSwitch PoE User Guide. The User Guide is
