Installation Requirements
• Phillips and flathead screwdrivers
• Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with an available 1U space
• 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
powersupply.
We recommend that you protect your networks from
harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events
with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable
IMPORTANT: Although the cabling can be located
outdoors, the EdgeSwitch itself should be housed
inside a protective enclosure.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not expose this EdgeSwitch to rain or moisture.
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.
Hardware Installation
1. Remove the faceplate from the EdgeSwitch by lifting up
the bottom portion of the faceplate.
2. Connect the Power Cord to the Power port of each
EdgeSwitch.
3. Attach the EdgeSwitch 16XP to the rack using the four
Phillips Screws. (If the rack has square slots, then use the
Cage Nuts with the Phillips Screws.)
4. Attach the top portion of the faceplate at a slight angle,
and then snap on the bottom portion. Secure the faceplate
to the EdgeSwitch 16XP using the two FlatheadScrews.
5. Connect the other end of each Power Cord to a power
outlet.
Daisy-Chain (Optional)
All data ports are available as uplink ports. If you want to
daisy-chain EdgeSwitch A and B, we recommend that you
connect an Ethernet cable from port 8 of EdgeSwitch A to
port1 of EdgeSwitch B.
Note: PoE is disabled by default on all numbered
ports and is not available on the Management port. To
enable PoE on the appropriate ports, use the Ports tab
in the Configuration Interface.
Accessing the Configuration Interface
Connect to the Configuration Interface by performing the
following steps:
1. Ensure that your computer is connected to the
Management port on the EdgeSwitch.
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
Devicetab.)
2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your computer with a
static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet
(e.g., 192.168.1.100).
3. Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.20 in
the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
https://192.168.1.20
4. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the Username
and Password fields. Click Login.
The Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to
customize your settings as needed.
You can also manage your device using the Ubiquiti® Network
Management System. UNMS™lets you configure, monitor,
upgrade, and back up your devices using a singleapplication.

Configuring PoE Settings
WARNING: Before activating PoE, ensure that the
connected device supports passive PoE and the
supplied voltage. By default, PoE is off on each port.
1. Click the Ports tab.
2. 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.
