EdgeRouter X SFP |
Power Adapter (24V, 2.5A) |
Power Cord |
Installation Requirements
- 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
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the EdgeRouter itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure. |

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
- Connect an Ethernet cable from eth1 on the EdgeRouter to a LAN segment that has an existing DHCP server.
- 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.
- Launch your web browser. Enter the appropriate IP address in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
- 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
For more information on PoE configuration, refer to “Configuring PoE Settings”.
Static IP Address
- Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your computer to the port labeled eth0 on the EdgeRouter.
- Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
- Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.1 in the address field, and press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
- 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
