TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT5 (or above). It is the customer’s
responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency
channels, output power, indoor cabling requirements, and Dynamic Frequency Selection
(DFS) requirements.

System Requirements
• Linux, MacOSX, or Microsoft Windows 7/8/10
• Java Runtime Environment 1.6 (1.8 or newer recommended)
• Web Browser: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft

downloads.ubnt.com/unifi)
Installation Requirements
• Phillips screwdriver (for rack-mounting)
• Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U height
available (for rack-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,
TOUGHCable™, from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details,

Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,
the UniFi Switch itself should be housed inside a
protective enclosure.

IPaddress (connected devices will also obtain IP addresses
after deployment)
• A UniFi Cloud Key or management station running the UniFi
Controller v4.8.5 (or newer) software, located either on-site
and connected to the same Layer2 network, or off-site in a
