TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT6A (or above). It is the customer’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 6A (or above) UTP
cabling approved for indoor use.
• For outdoor applications, shielded Category 6A (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 switch to rain or moisture.
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,
the EdgeSwitch XG itself should be housed inside a
protective enclosure.

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

DC Input The 25VDC input can connect a redundant or
stand-alone DC power source (not included) with minimum
power: 56W, 25 to 16V, and 2.5 mm DC power inline connector.
Note: You can use the redundant DC power source as a
hot spare; if the internal AC/DC power supply no longer
provides power, then the EdgeSwitch XG will switch to
the DC power source without interrupting its operation.

Hardware Installation
The EdgeSwitch XG can be placed on a horizontal surface,
mounted on a wall, or mounted in a rack.
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION
MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF
CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR
ADEQUATE AIRFLOW.
Mounting in a Rack (Optional)
1. Attach the Rack-Mount Brackets to the EdgeSwitch XG
using the eight Bracket Screws.
2. Attach the EdgeSwitch XG to the rack or wall using the four
Mounting Screws. (If the rack has square slots, then use the
Cage Nuts with the Mounting Screws.)

Connecting Power
1. Connect the Power Cord to the Power port of the
EdgeSwitch XG.
2. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.

Connecting SFP+
1. Remove the protective plug covering the SFP+ port.
2. Plug a compatible fiber module into the SFP+ port.
1000MbpsSM/SC20KMDDM
Tx1550nm/Rx1310nm
3. Connect the fiber optic cable to the fiber module. Then
connect the other end of the cable to another fiber device.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 to connect additional SFP+ ports.

Connecting RJ45
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer or host
system to any RJ45 port of the EdgeSwitch XG.
2. Connect Ethernet cables from the RJ45 ports of your
devices to the other RJ45 ports of the EdgeSwitch XG.

Accessing the Configuration Interface
The EdgeSwitch XG is set to DHCP by default, so it will try to
automatically obtain an IP address. If that fails, then it will use
the default fallback IP address, 192.168.1.2. Proceed to the
appropriate section, DHCP or Fallback IP Address:
DHCP
Use one of the following methods:
• Set up the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to the
EdgeSwitch XG based on its MAC address (on the label).
• Let the EdgeSwitch XG 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. Type the appropriate IP address
in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
2. 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 EdgeSwitch Configuration Interface will appear. Customize
additional settings as needed. For more information, refer
to the EdgeSwitch documentation, which is available at
documentation.ubnt.com/edgemax

Fallback IP Address
1. Ensure that your computer (or other host system) is
connected to the EdgeSwitch XG.
2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a
static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
3. Launch your web browser. Type the appropriate IP address
in the address field (192.168.1.2 is the default fallback IP
address). Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
4. 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.

5. The EdgeSwitch Configuration Interface will appear. Go to
System > Connectivity > IPv4.
6. Change the IP Address to a unique IP address or select
DHCP on the IPv4 tab. Click Submit.
Note: If you change the IP settings, then the session
will be cut off, and you will need to reconnect to the
EdgeSwitch XG using the new IP address.
Customize additional settings as needed. For more
information, refer to the EdgeSwitch documentation, which is
available at documentation.ubnt.com/edgemax
