TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT5 (or above). It is the professional
installer’s responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal
frequency channels, output power, indoor cabling requirements, and Dynamic Frequency
Selection (DFS) requirements.

Installation Requirements
• Phillips screwdriver (for rack- or wall-mounting)
• Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U height
available (for rack-mounting)
• Use compatible fiber SFP modules with the appropriate fiber
optic cabling. For information about compatible fiber SFP
modules, visit: community.ubnt.com/edgemax
• 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
Networks. For more details, visit:
www.ubnt.com/toughcable
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not expose the EdgeSwitch Fiber to rain or moisture.
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,
the EdgeSwitch Fiber itself should be housed inside a
protective enclosure.

Button Description
Reset
There are two methods to reset the
EdgeSwitch Fiber to factory defaults:
Runtime Reset (Recommended)
The EdgeSwitch Fiber should be running
after bootup is complete, and the System
LED is white. Press and hold the Reset
button. The EdgeSwitch Fiber will reboot,
and the System LED becomesblue after
three seconds. Continue to hold the Reset
button for about 15seconds until the
System LED flashes blue for two seconds.
This indicates that the EdgeSwitch Fiber has
reset to its factorydefaults.
Power-on Reset
1. Disconnect the Power Cord from the
EdgeSwitch Fiber.
2. While connecting the Power Cord to the
EdgeSwitch Fiber, hold the Reset button
for about 15seconds until the System
LED flashes blue for two seconds. This
indicates that the EdgeSwitch Fiber has
reset to its factory defaults.
