Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all wired
Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE.
We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor
environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet
cable from Ubiquiti. For more details, visit ui.com/toughcable
Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that
you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP-G2, one near the device
and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP-G2 will absorb power
surges and safely discharge them into the ground.
Note: For guidelines about grounding and lightning protection, follow your
local electrical regulatory codes.

Configuration
The device is set to DHCP by default, so it will try to automatically obtain an IP
address. If that fails, it will use the default fallback IP address, 192.168.1.20. Proceed
to the appropriate section, DHCP or “Fallback IP Address”:
DHCP
Use one of the following methods:
Set up the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to the device based on
its MAC address (on the label).
Let the device obtain an IP address and then check the DHCP server to see which
IP address was assigned.
1. Connect a computer to your network and configure the Ethernet adapter on your
computer with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
2. Launch your web browser. In the address field, type: https://192.168.1.20
Then press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
3. Select your Country and Language. You must agree to the Terms of Use to use
the product. Click Continue.
