TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT5 (or above). Shielded Ethernet
cable and earth grounding must be used for outdoor installations as conditions of product
warranty. TOUGHCable™ is designed for outdoor installations. It is the professional installer’s
responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency
channels, output power, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

terminates, the LED turns off until
a link is re-established. If the unit
reboots, the LED will again indicate
power until a link is established.

Hardware Installation
Place the EdgeSwitch on a bench top or other flat surface.
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.
Installation Requirements
• Drill, 6 mm drill bit, and Phillips screwdriver (wall-mounting)
• 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
IMPORTANT: Although the cabling can be located
outdoors, the EdgeSwitch itself should be housed
inside a protective enclosure.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not expose this EdgeSwitch to rain or moisture.

Wall-Mounting
To mount the EdgeSwitch on a wall:
1. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill two holes 60 mm apart.
2. Insert the Anchors into the holes.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure a Screw to each anchor.
Leave a clearance of approximately 3 mm between each
screw head and its anchor.
60 mm
3 mm
Note: You can also mount the EdgeSwitch in a
horizontal orientation.
4. Position the wall-mount slots of the EdgeSwitch over the
screw heads on the wall. Then slide the EdgeSwitch to the
left to lock it into place.

Grounding the EdgeSwitch (Optional)
The EdgeSwitch is grounded through the Power Adapter;
however, you can add optional ESD grounding for enhanced
ESD protection.
1. Insert a ground wire (not included) through a corner slot.
2. Twist tie to secure the ground wire to the EdgeSwitch.
3. Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounding
block.

Connecting Power
1. Connect the power connector of the Power Adapter to the
Power port of the EdgeSwitch.
2. Connect the Power Cord to the power port on the Power
Adapter. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a
power outlet.

Connecting Ethernet
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port of your
computer to the Management port of the EdgeSwitch.
2. Connect Ethernet cables from the Ethernet ports of your
devices to the numbered ports of the EdgeSwitch.
Note: PoE is disabled by default on all numbered
ports and is not available on the Management port.
To enable PoE on the appropriate ports, use the
Ports tab in the Configuration Interface.

Accessing the Configuration Interface
Connect to the Configuration Interface:
1. Ensure that your computer (or other host machine) is
connected to the Management port on the EdgeSwitch.
Note: By default, you can configure the EdgeSwitch
via any port; however, we recommend the
Management port. (Access to the Configuration
Interface can be limited to the Management
port only. You can configure this setting on the
Devicetab.)
2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a
static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet
(e.g., 192.168.1.100).
3. Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.20 in
the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
https://192.168.1.20
4. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the Username
and Password fields. Click Login.
The Configuration Interface will appear and allow you to
customize your settings. You can enable PoE on the Ports tab.
You can also manage your device using the Ubiquiti® Network
Management System. UNMS™lets you configure, monitor,
upgrade, and back up your devices using a singleapplication.
