Ground wire – min. 10 AWG (5 mm ) 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. For

Power Options
Either the VDC or PoE input type is used at any one time. If both are connected, only the input
type with the highest voltage will be used; the other can be used as a backup.
Both PoE inputs can be used at the same time. If there is a voltage difference, the higher-
voltage source will be used rst. The voltage from the initial source will drop as the load
increases. When the voltage drops to the same level as the lower-voltage source, then the
lower-voltage source will also start providing power.
Power Input Options
54VDC, 6A
54V, 1.5A on PoE In/1
54V, 1.5A on PoE In/2
Power Output Options
EdgePoint (required)
Passive 54/24V, 4-Pair PoE on 1-4
PoE+ or Passive 24V, 2-Pair PoE on 5-16
The number of devices that can be powered depends on the power consumption of the
specic devices and the power input option. Example: If you provide 54VDC, 1.5A, then you
have 81W of power. If the EdgePoint uses 40W (Max. Power Consumption), then you have
41W available for passive PoE output. Check product specications for the power
consumption values to use in your calculations.

Accessing the Conguration Interface
By default, the EdgePoint will try to get its IP address automatically using DHCP. If that fails,
then it will use the default fallback IP address, 192.168.1.2. Proceed to the appropriate
EP-S16 Quick Start Guide

section, DHCP or "Fallback IP Address" :
DHCP
Use one of the following methods:
Set up the DHCP server to provide a specic IP address to the EdgePoint based on its MAC
address (on the label).
Let the EdgePoint obtain an IP address and then check the DHCP server to see which IP
address was assigned.
To log in, follow these steps:
1. Launch your web browser. Enter the appropriate in the address eld. Press enter (PC) or
return (Mac).
2. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password elds. Click Sign in.
3. The EP-S16 Conguration Interface will appear. Customize additional settings as needed.
For more information on PoE conguration, refer to "Conguring PoE Settings" .
Fallback IP Address
1. Ensure that your computer (or other host machine) is connected to the EdgePoint.
2. Congure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the
192.168.1.x subnet.
EP-S16 Quick Start Guide

3. Launch your web browser. Enter the appropriate in the address eld (192.168.1.2 is the
default fallback IP address). Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
4. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password elds. Click Sign In.
5. The EP-S16 Conguration Interface will appear. Go to Settings .
6. Change the IP Address to a unique IP address. Click Apply.
EP-S16 Quick Start Guide

Note: If you change the IP settings, then the session will be cut off, and you will need
to reconnect to the EdgePoint using the new IP address.
Customize additional settings as needed. For more information on PoE conguration, refer to
"Conguring PoE Settings" .
UNMS Management
You can manage your device using UNMS, which lets you congure, monitor, upgrade, and
back up your devices using a single application. Get started at www.unms.com
Conguring PoE Settings
WARNING: Before activating 54V or 24V passive PoE, ensure that the connected
device supports PoE and the supplied voltage.
1. Go to Dashboard .
2. For the Ethernet port you want to congure, click the PoE drop-down menu.
EP-S16 Quick Start Guide

3. Select the appropriate mode:
For ports 1-4, select Off, 54V passive 4-pair, or 24V passive 4-pair.
For ports 5-16, select Off, PoE+ auto, or 24V passive.
WARNING: Do NOT connect 4-pair PoE devices, such as airFiber devices, to ports 5-
16. They support 2-pair PoE only.
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.
