Interface Description
Management
10/100 Mbps port for management. Traffic between
the Management port and numbered ports will
be limited to 10/100 Mbps and, under heavy
load, may cause performance degradation of the
TOUGHSwitch.
USB Reserved for future use.
1-8 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for switching and PoE (also
available for management by default).

Installation Requirements
• Phillips and flathead screwdrivers
• Standard-sized, 19-inch wide rack with a minimum height of
1U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 outdoor networks from
the most brutal environments and devastating ESD attacks
with industrial-grade shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks™. For more details, visit: www.ubnt.com/toughcable
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,
the TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER itself should be housed
inside a protective enclosure.
Hardware Installation
Connecting the Power Cords
1. Connect the Power Cord to the Power port of each
TOUGHSwitch.

Hardware Installation
Mounting in a Rack
1. Attach the TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER to the rack using the
four #10-32 x 5/8" Phillips Screws. (If the rack has square slots,
then use the #10-32 x 5/8" Cage Nuts with the Phillips Screws.)
Note: Keep 20 mm of clearance next to the ventilation
holes for adequate airflow.
2. Attach the top portion of the faceplate at a slight angle,
and then snap on the bottom portion. Secure the faceplate
to the TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER using the two M3x8
FlatheadScrews.

Connecting Power
1. Connect the other end of each Power Cord to a power outlet.
Connecting Ethernet
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer or host system
to the Management port of TOUGHSwitch A.
Note: By default, you can configure the TOUGHSwitch
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.)

Daisy-Chain Option
2. Connect Ethernet cables from the Ethernet ports of your
devices to the numbered ports of each TOUGHSwitch.
Note: PoE is disabled by default on all numbered ports
and is not available on the Management port. To enable
PoE, use the Ports tab in the Configuration Interface.
Daisy-Chain Option
All data ports are available as uplink ports. If you want to
daisy-chain TOUGHSwitch A and B, we recommend that you
connectanEthernetcablefromport8ofTOUGHSwitchAtoport1
of TOUGHSwitch B. (For clarity, the other cables are not shown in
the illustration.)

TOUGHSwitch™PoE CARRIER Quick Start Guide
Accessing the Configuration Interface
ToughSwitch A and B have the same default IP address,
192.168.1.20, so you will need to change the IP address of
at least one TOUGHSwitch. Follow the instructions in this
section to configure one TOUGHSwitch at a time, starting with
TOUGHSwitchA.
1. 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).
2. Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.20 in the
address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
3. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the Username and
Password fields. Click Login.
