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:
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.
