Installation Requirements

• Phillips screwdriver (for rack- or wall-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 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 EdgeSwitch itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure.

Hardware Overview

System LED
Note: The System LED functionality has been updated with firmware v1.8.0. We recommend that you update the EdgeSwitch to the latest firmware.
Flashing White	Bootup in progress.
White	Ready for use, not connected to Ubiquiti Internet Service Provider (UISP™). See “UISP Management”.
Blue	Ready for use, connected to UISP.
Steady Blue with Occasional Flashing	Ready for use, unable to connect to UISP, check connection to UISP server.
Quickly Flashing Blue	Used to locate a device in UISP.
Alternating Blue/White	Firmware upgrade in progress.

RJ45 (Ports 1 - 48)
RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections.
SFP+ (Ports 1 - 2)
Hot-swappable SFP+ ports support 1/10 Gbps connections.
SFP (Ports 1 - 2)

Console Port
RJ45 serial console port for Command Line Interface (CLI) management.
DC Input
The 25VDC input can connect a redundant or stand-alone DC power source (not included) with minimum power: 56W, 25 to 16V, and 2.5 mm DC power inline connector. Note: You can use the redundant DC power source as a hot spare; if the internal AC/DC power supply no longer provides power, then the EdgeSwitch will switch to the DC power source without interrupting its operation.
Power Port
Connect the included Power Cord to the Power port.

Accessing the Configuration Interface

The EdgeSwitch is set to DHCP by default, so it will try to automatically obtain an IP address. If that fails, then it will use the default fallback IP address, 192.168.1.2. 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 EdgeSwitch based on its MAC address (on the label).
• Let the EdgeSwitch obtain an IP address and then check the DHCP server to see which IP address was assigned.

To log in, follow these steps:

1. Launch your web browser. Type the appropriate IP address in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
2. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Click Sign In.

The EdgeSwitch Configuration Interface will appear. Customize additional settings as needed. For more information, refer to the EdgeSwitch documentation, which is available at ui.com/download/edgemax

Fallback IP Address

1. Ensure that your computer (or other host system) is connected to the EdgeSwitch.
2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
3. Launch your web browser. Type the appropriate IP address in the address field (192.168.1.2 is the default fallback IP address). Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).

   

4. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Click Sign In.
5. The EdgeSwitch Configuration Interface will appear. Click Settings .
6. Change the IP Address to a unique IP address. Click Apply.

	Note: If you change the IP settings, then the session will be cut off, and you will need to reconnect to the EdgeSwitch using the new IP address.

Customize additional settings as needed. For more information, refer to the EdgeSwitch documentation, which is available at ui.com/download/edgemax

UISP Management

You can also manage your device using the Ubiquiti Internet Service Provider. UISP lets you configure, monitor, upgrade, and back up your devices using a single application. Get started at uisp.ui.com
