TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT6A (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.

Installation Requirements
• Phillips screwdriver
• 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
Networks. For more details, visit: www.ubnt.com/toughcable
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not expose the EdgeSwitch to rain or moisture.
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,
the EdgeSwitch itself should be housed inside a
protective enclosure.

Button Description
Reset
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 the Power Cord from the
EdgeSwitch.
2. While connecting the Power Cord to
the EdgeSwitch, 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.

Hardware Installation
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.
1. Connect the Power Cord to the Power port of the
EdgeSwitch.
2. Attach the EdgeSwitch to the rack using the four Mounting
Screws. (If the rack has square slots, then use the Cage Nuts
with the Mounting Screws.)

3. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.
Connecting Ethernet
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer or host
system to any port of the EdgeSwitch.
2. Connect Ethernet cables from the Ethernet ports of your
devices to the other numbered ports of the EdgeSwitch.
Note: The PoE settings for ports 1-48 are set to
PoE+auto by default, so 802.3af/at devices can
be plugged in and automatically receive PoE. For
instructions on how to enable 24V passive PoE, refer
to the Configuring PoE Settings section.

Using SFP+ and SFP Ports
These ports support the specified module types at the
following speeds:
Ports SFP+ Module Type SFP Module Type
SFP+ 1‑2 10 Gbps 1 Gbps
SFP 1‑2 (Not supported) 1 Gbps
To use an SFP+ or SFP port:
1. Remove the protective plug covering the SFP+ or SFP port.
2. Plug a compatible fiber module into the SFP+ or SFP port.
1000MbpsSM/SC20KM DDM
Tx1550nm/Rx1310nm
3. Connect the appropriate SFP+ or SFP fiber optic cable to
the fiber module. Then connect the other end of the cable
to another fiber device.
For information about compatible fiber SFP+ or SFP modules,
visit: community.ubnt.com/edgemax

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 on PoE
configuration, refer to the Configuring PoE Settings section.

Fallback IP Address
1. Ensure that your computer (or other host machine) 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 on PoE configuration, refer to the Configuring PoE
Settings section.

Configuring PoE Settings
The PoE settings for ports 1-48 are set to PoE+ auto 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 PoE > PoE Configuration.
2. Select the Ethernet port you want to configure. Then
clickEdit.
3. Select the appropriate mode: Off, PoE+ auto, or
24Vpassive from the PoE Mode drop‑down menu.
ThenclickSubmit.
