EdgeSwitch 8XP |
Power Cord |
Installation Requirement
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
|
IMPORTANT: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the EdgeSwitch itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure. |

Accessing the Configuration Interface
Connect to the Configuration Interface by performing the following steps:
- Ensure that your computer (or other host machine) is connected to the Management port on the EdgeSwitch.
- Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet (e.g., 192.168.1.100).
- Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.20 in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
- Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Click Login.
Note: By default, you can configure the EdgeSwitch via any port; however, we recommend the Management port. (Access to the Configuration Interface can be limited to the Management port only. You can configure this setting on the Device tab.) |
The Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize your settings as needed.
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.
Configuring PoE Settings
The PoE settings are set to Off by default.
|
WARNING: Before activating PoE, ensure that the connected device supports passive PoE and the supplied voltage. |

- Click the Ports tab.
- On the Ports tab, select the Ethernet port you want to configure. Select the appropriate PoE Status setting, and then click Save Changes.
The PoE LED on the Ethernet port will confirm the PoE setting.
