TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT5 (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.

System Requirements
• Linux, MacOSX, or Microsoft Windows 7/8/10
• Web Browser: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft
Edge, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
Installation Requirements
• Phillips screwdriver (for shelf or wall mounting)
• (Optional) 42 to 56VDC power source, such as the
EdgePower™EP-54V-150W, for stand-alone DC power or
redundant power backup.
• 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 switch to rain or moisture.
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,
the EdgeSwitch itself should be housed inside a
protective enclosure.

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

Port Description
Console
RJ45 serial console port for Command
Line Interface (CLI) management. Use an
RJ45-to-DB9, serial console cable, also
known as a rollover cable, to connect
the Console port to your computer. Then
configure the following settings as needed:
• Baud rate 115200
• Data bits 8
• Parity NONE
• Stop bits 1
• Flow control NONE
AC Power Connect the included Power Cord to the AC
Power port.
DC Input
Optional DC input for connecting a
redundant or stand-alone 42 to 56VDC
power source, such as the EdgePower
EP-54V-150W.
Ground Ground bonding point for an optional
ground wire.
Note: The redundant DC power source may be used
as a hot backup. The DC power source will provide
continuous power in the event of an interruption or
loss of AC power.

Side Panels
Ventilation Holes
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.
WARNING: The ES-8-150W must not be stacked. Do not
place it on top of another switch. Do not place anything
on top of the ES-8-150W.

Hardware Installation
The EdgeSwitch may be placed on a desktop, or mounted on
a shelf or wall.
Shelf Mounting
1. Position the two Mount Brackets as shown below, and
attach the brackets using the eight Bracket Screws.
2. Secure the EdgeSwitch to the shelf using the four
MountingScrews.

Wall Mounting
1. Position the two Mount Brackets as shown below, and
attach the brackets using the eight Bracket Screws.
2. Attach the EdgeSwitch to the wall using the four Screw
Anchors and four Mounting Screws.

Connecting AC Power
1. Connect the Power Cord to the AC power port on the back
of the EdgeSwitch.
2. Plug the Power Cord into a power outlet.

Connect DC Power (Optional)
For stand-alone DC power or redundant power backup,
connect a 42 to 56VDC power source to the EdgeSwitch:
Note: Only AC power or DC power can be used at any
one time. With both power sources connected, the
input with the highest voltage will be used (output
voltage of the internal AC/DC PSU is 54VDC); the
other power source defaults to backup.
1. Insert the DC power cable wires into the DC Input terminal
block. Polarity is self-correcting.
2. Turn the two terminal block screws clockwise to secure the
wires to the terminal block.

Connecting Ethernet
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your DHCP server or LAN
to any port on the EdgeSwitch.
2. Connect your computer or host system and other devices
to the other ports on the EdgeSwitch.

Using SFP Ports
To use an SFP port:
1. Remove the dust plug covering the SFP port.
2. Insert a compatible fiber SFP module into the SFP port.
1000MbpsSM/SC20KM DDM
Tx1550nm/Rx1310nm
3. Connect the fiber optic cable to the fiber SFP module.

Accessing the Configuration Interface
The EdgeSwitch 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 based on its MAC address (on the label).
• Let the EdgeSwitch 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.
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 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

Electrical Safety Information
1. Compliance is required with respect to voltage, frequency, and current
requirements indicated on the manufacturer’s label. Connection to a
different power source than those specified may result in improper
operation, damage to the equipment or pose a fire hazard if the
limitations are not followed.

approved type. Never use an adapter plug to connect to a 2-wire
outlet as this will defeat the continuity of the grounding wire.
b. The equipment requires the use of the ground wire as a part of the
safety certification, modification or misuse can provide a shock
hazard that can result in serious injury or death.
c. Contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer if there
are questions about the installation prior to connecting the
equipment.
d. Protective earthing is provided by Listed AC adapter. Building
installation shall provide appropriate short-circuit backup
protection.
