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 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:
ES-24-250W, ES-24-500W Quick Start Guide

Set up the DHCP server to provide a specic 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 eld. Press enter
(PC) or return (Mac).
2. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password elds. Click Sign In.
3. The EdgeSwitch Conguration Interface will appear. Customize additional settings as
needed.
For more information on PoE conguration, refer to “Conguring PoE Settings” . For more
information, refer to the EdgeSwitch documentation, which is available at
ui.com/download/edgemax
Fallback IP Address
1. Ensure that your computer (or other host machine) is connected to the EdgeSwitch.
2. Congure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the
192.168.1.x subnet.
ES-24-250W, ES-24-500W Quick Start Guide

3. Launch your web browser. Type the appropriate IP address in the address eld (192.168.1.2
is the default fallback IP address). Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
4. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password elds. Click Sign In.
5. The EdgeSwitch Conguration Interface will appear. Go to Settings .
6. Change the IP Address to a unique IP address. Click Apply.
ES-24-250W, ES-24-500W Quick Start Guide

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 on PoE conguration, refer to
“Conguring PoE Settings” .
UNMS Management
You can manage your device using UNMS, which lets you congure, monitor, upgrade, and
back up your devices using a single application. Get started at www.unms.com
Conguring 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 congure, click the PoE drop-down menu.
