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 networks from harmful outdoor
environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet
cable from Ubiquiti. For more details, visit: ui.com/toughcable

Accessing the EdgeOS Configuration Interface
The EdgeOS® configuration interface can be accessed via DHCP or static IP
address assignment. By default, eth1 is set up as a DHCP client, while eth0 is
assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.1. To configure the EdgeRouter, proceed
to the appropriate section: DHCP or “Static IP Address”.
DHCP
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from eth1 on the EdgeRouter to a LAN segment that
has an existing DHCP server.

2. To check the IP address of the EdgeRouter, use one of the following methods:
Set up the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to the EdgeRouter
based on its MAC address (on the label).
Let the EdgeRouter obtain an IP address and then check the DHCP server to
see which IP address was assigned.
3. Launch your web browser. Enter the appropriate IP address in the address field.
Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
4. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Read the Ubiquiti License
Agreement, and check the box next to I agree to the terms of this License
Agreement to accept it. Click Login.
The EdgeOS Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize your
settings as needed. For more information, refer to the EdgeOS User Guide, which is
available at ui.com/download/edgemax
