Chapter 2: Installation
Introduction
Proceed to the instructions for your TOUGHSwitch model:
• TOUGHSwitch PoE The instructions are below.
• TOUGHSwitch PoE PRO Go to “Installation of the
TOUGHSwitchPoEPRO” on page 8for instructions.
• TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER Go to “Installation of
the TOUGHSwitchPoECARRIER” on page 9for
instructions.
Configuration
After you install the TOUGHSwitch, refer to the
instructions in “Navigation” on page 11, which explain
how to access the Configuration Interface.
Installation of the TOUGHSwitch PoE
Mount the TOUGHSwitch on a wall, or place it on a
benchtop.
Note: Keep 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 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 itself should be
housed inside a protective enclosure.
Wall-Mounting (Optional)
To mount the TOUGHSwitch on a wall:
1. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill two holes 60 mm apart.
2. Insert the M2.9 Anchors into the holes.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure a M2.9x20 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 TOUGHSwitch in a
horizontal orientation.
4. Position the Wall-Mount Slots of the TOUGHSwitch
over the screw heads on the wall. Then slide the
TOUGHSwitch to the left to lock it into place.

7
Chapter 2: InstallationTOUGHSwitch™PoE User Guide
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
Grounding the TOUGHSwitch (Optional)
The TOUGHSwitch 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
TOUGHSwitch.
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 TOUGHSwitch.
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
TOUGHSwitch.
2. Connect Ethernet cables from the Ethernet ports
of your devices to the numbered ports of the
TOUGHSwitch.
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 (see “PoE” on
page 24).

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.)
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 on the appropriate ports, use
the Ports tab in the Configuration Interface (see
“PoE” on page 24).
3. Uplink options are described in the following section.
After you have finished the installation, proceed to
“Configuring the TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER” on
page 12.
Uplink Options
The TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER functions as two separate
switches. All data ports are available as uplink ports, so
you have the following two options:
Daisy-Chain Option
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.)
Uplink to Core Switch Option
If you want to uplink TOUGHSwitch A and B to an
independent core switch, follow these instructions:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from any numbered port of
TOUGHSwitch A to a port on the core switch.
2. Connect another Ethernet cable from any numbered
port of TOUGHSwitch B to a port on the core switch.
Note: For clarity, the other cables connected to the
switches are not shown, except for a cable from
the EdgeRouter to the core switch.

Chapter 3: NavigationTOUGHSwitch™PoE User Guide
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
Chapter 3: Navigation
The Configuration Interface is an advanced operating
system accessed through a simple and intuitive user
interface. The TOUGHSwitch uses the Configuration
Interface for convenient configuration and management
via a web browser.
If your TOUGHSwitch model is the TOUGHSwitch PoE
or TOUGHSwitch PoE PRO, proceed to the next section,
Accessing the Configuration Interface.
If your TOUGHSwitch model is the TOUGHSwitch PoE
CARRIER, proceed to “Configuring the TOUGHSwitch
PoE CARRIER” on page 12.
Accessing the Configuration
Interface
Connect to the Configuration Interface by performing the
following steps:
1. Ensure that your computer (or other host machine)
is connected to the Management port on the
TOUGHSwitch.
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; see “Management
Network Settings” on page 18.)
2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system
with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet (for
example, 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).
4. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the
Username and Password fields. Click Login.
5. The Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to
customize your settings as needed. You can enable PoE
on the Ports tab; see “PoE” on page 24.

Chapter 3: NavigationTOUGHSwitch™PoE User Guide
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
Configuring the TOUGHSwitch PoE
CARRIER
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.
4. Change the Static Management IP Address to a unique
IP address on the Device tab. Click Save Changes.
5. You can enable PoE on the Ports tab and customize
additional settings as needed.
6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Management
port of TOUGHSwitch A and connect it to the
Management port of TOUGHSwitch B. Then repeat
steps 1-5 on TOUGHSwitch B.
Product Verification
The Configuration Interface will verify whether a product
is genuine or counterfeit.
For a genuine TOUGHSwitch, the Configuration Interface
will display a Genuine Product logo in the lower left corner
of the screen.
For any product that is not an official Ubiquiti product, the
Configuration Interface will display a counterfeit warning.
Please contact Ubiquiti at [email protected] regarding
this product.
Interface Tabs
The Configuration Interface contains five main tabs, each
of which provides a web-based management page to
configure a specific aspect of the TOUGHSwitch. This User
Guide covers each tab with a chapter. For details on a
specific tab, refer to the appropriate chapter.
• Status The “Status Tab” on page 13 displays status
information and statistics for each port.
• Device The “Device Tab” on page 17 configures
system settings and services for the TOUGHSwitch.
• Ports The “Ports Tab” on page 23 configures
settings and services for each port.
• VLANs The “VLANs Tab” on page 26 configures
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) for the various
ports.
• Alerts The “Alerts Tab” on page 28 displays alerts if
alert logging is configured and system log messages if
system logging is enabled.
Each page also contains network administration and
monitoring tools:
• “Ping” on page 30
• “Traceroute” on page 31
• “Discovery” on page 31
