For outdoor applications, shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for 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 cables 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.

Overview

Note
The System LED functionality has been updated with firmware v1.10.7. We recommend that you update the EdgeRouter to the latest firmware.

Accessing the EdgeOS Configuration Interface
The EdgeOS® configuration interface can be accessed via DHCP or static IP address assignment. By default, is set up as a DHCP client.

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.

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
