Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U height available (for rack-mounting)
Use compatible ber SFP modules with the appropriate ber optic cabling. For information
about compatible ber SFP modules, visit: ubnt.link/SFP_DAC_Compatibility
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. For
more details, visit: ui.com/toughcable
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the EdgeSwitch itself should be
housed inside a protective enclosure.

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 ashes blue for two seconds. This indicates that the
EdgeSwitch has reset to its factory defaults.
Power-on Reset
1. Disconnect the power from the EdgeSwitch.
2. While connecting the power to the EdgeSwitch, hold the Reset button for about 15
seconds until the System LED ashes blue for two seconds. This indicates that the
EdgeSwitch has reset to its factory defaults.
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 congure the following settings as needed:
Baud rate 115200
Data bits 8
Parity NONE
Stop bits 1
Flow control NONE
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 will switch
to the DC power source without interrupting its operation.

Connecting RJ45
Accessing the Conguration 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 specic IP address to the EdgeSwitch based on its
MAC address (on the label).
