link 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

TOUGHSwitch™PoE Quick Start Guide
Hardware Installation
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 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
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.

Hardware Installation
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.
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.

Hardware Installation
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.

TOUGHSwitch™PoE Quick Start Guide
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.)
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).
4. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the Username and
Password fields. Click Login.
The Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize
your settings as needed. You can enable PoE on the Ports tab.
Refer to the TOUGHSwitch PoE User Guide for instructions on
configuring the TOUGHSwitch. The User Guide is available at
