Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U height available
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.

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. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Click Sign In.
3. The EdgeSwitch Configuration Interface will appear. Customize additional
settings as needed.

Configuring PoE Settings
The PoE settings for ports 1-24 are set to PoE+ by default, so 802.3af/at devices
can be plugged in and automatically receive PoE.
WARNING: Before activating 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 configure, click the PoE drop-down menu.
