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.

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
Front Panel Ports
Console RJ45 (Ports 0 - 9)
USB
Interface Description
Console
RJ45 serial console port for Command
Line Interface (CLI) management. Use an
RJ45-to-DB9, serial console cable, also
known as a rollover cable, to connect the
Console port to your computer. (If your
computer does not have a DB9 port,
then you will also need a DB9 adapter.)
Then configure the following settings as
needed:
• Baud rate 57600
• Data bits 8
• Parity NONE
• Stop bits 1
• Flow control NONE
USB Reserved for future use.
RJ45
(Ports 0 - 9)
All RJ45 ports can be used for routing
and support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
connections. Ports 0 - 9 can be configured
for switching functions using the
EdgeOS®Configuration Interface. Port
0 supports 24V Passive PoE In and port
9 supports optional Passive PoE Out
(disabled by default).

Button Description
Reset
There are two methods to reset the
EdgeRouter to factory defaults:
• Runtime reset (recommended) The
EdgeRouter should be running after
bootup is complete. Press and hold the
Reset button for about 10seconds until
the LED for port 9 starts flashing and then
becomes solidly lit. After a few seconds,
the LED will turn off, and the EdgeRouter
will automatically reboot.
• Power-on reset Disconnect the Power
Adapter from the EdgeRouter. Press and
hold the Reset button while connecting
the power (refer to Connecting Power for
details). Keep holding the button until
the LED for port 9 starts flashing and then
stops flashing after a few seconds.

Hardware Installation
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION
MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF
CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR
ADEQUATE AIRFLOW.
Wall Mounting
To mount the EdgeRouter on a wall, you will need a drill, a
6mm drill bit, and a Phillips screwdriver.
1. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill two holes 190 mm apart.
2. Insert the Wall Mount Anchors into the holes. Use a Phillips
screwdriver to secure a Wall Mount Screw to each anchor.
Leave a clearance of approximately 3 mm between each
screw head and its anchor.
190 mm
3 mm
Note: You can also mount the EdgeRouter in a
vertical orientation.
3. Position the EdgeRouter with the Ethernet ports facing
down. Place the wall-mount slots of the EdgeRouter over
the screw heads on the wall. Then slide the EdgeRouter
down to lock it into place.
Grounding the EdgeRouter (Recommended)
The EdgeRouter is grounded through the Power Adapter;
however, you can add optional ESD grounding for enhanced
ESD protection.
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
GroundScrew.
3. Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounding block.
Connecting Power
1. Connect the Power Adapter to the Power port.
2. Connect the other end of the Power Adapter to a power
outlet.
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. 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.
3. Launch your web browser. Enter the appropriate IP address
in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
