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.

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 “Configuring PoE
Settings”.

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.
For more information on PoE configuration, refer to “Configuring PoE Settings”. For
more information, refer to the EdgeSwitch documentation, which is available at
ui.com/download/edgemax
Fallback IP Address

10
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. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Click Sign In.
5. The EdgeSwitch Configuration Interface will appear. Go to Settings .
6. Change the IP Address to a unique IP address. Click Apply.
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 “Configuring PoE Settings”.
UISP Management
You can manage your device using UISP, which lets you configure, monitor,
upgrade, and back up your devices using a single application. Get started at
uisp.ui.com
Configuring PoE Settings
The PoE settings for ports 1-48 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.
3. Select the appropriate mode: Off, 24V, or PoE+.
