Installation Requirements

• Drill with a 6 mm drill bit (for wall-mounting)
• Phillips screwdriver
• 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.

Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti. For more details, visit: ui.com/toughcable
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the EdgeRouter to rain or moisture.
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the EdgeRouter itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure.

Hardware Overview

Hardware Installation

WARNING : FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARDS. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR ADEQUATE AIRFLOW.

Wall Mounting

Grounding the EdgeRouter (Recommended)

1. Attach the Ground Screw to secure a ground wire (not included) to the Grounding Point.
2. Optional: To secure the Power Adapter cord, insert it into the Cable Clip and secure the Cable Clip using the Ground Screw.
3. Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounding block.

Connecting Power

Using SFP Ports

For information about compatible fiber SFP modules, visit: ubnt.link/SFP_DAC_Compatibility

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. 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
For more information on PoE configuration, refer to “Configuring PoE Settings”.

Static IP Address

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your computer to the port labeled eth0 on the EdgeRouter.
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 https://192.168.1.1 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
For more information on PoE configuration, refer to “Configuring PoE Settings”.

UNMS Management

You can manage your device using UNMS, which lets you configure, monitor, upgrade, and back up your devices using a single application. Get started at www.unms.com
The PoE setting for ports eth0-eth4 is set to Off by default.
WARNING: Before activating PoE, ensure that the connected device supports passive PoE and the supplied voltage.

1. In the Dashboard tab, click Actions > PoE of the Ethernet port you want to configure.
2. Select the appropriate PoE setting, and click Save.
3. The Ethernet port’s PoE LED will confirm the PoE setting.
