Intelligent WISP Control Point with FiberProtect™

Models: EP-R6, EP-R8, EP-S16

Weatherproof Enclosure for Outdoor Use

Powerful Routing or Switching Features

Fiber Backhaul Capability

Overview

Ubiquiti Networks introduces the
EdgePoint

platform. The rst application-specic

designed WISP control point, the
EdgePoint combines EdgeMAX

routing features with ber backhaul

and versatile powering capabilities.

Datasheet

The EdgePoint is available in three
models:

• EP-R6 Layer-3 router

• EP-R8 Layer-3 router

• EP-S16 Layer-2 switch with some

layer-3 capabilities

™

, part of the EdgeMAX®

Example of EdgePoint as WISP Control Point

The EdgePoint replaces a cabinet containing a patch panel, power rack, multiple
PoE adapters, syslog server, AP (for EdgePoint management), switch, router,

andmodem.

Breakthrough in Tower
Deployment

The EdgePoint features FiberProtect

to signicantly reduce electrostatic

discharge (ESD) failures and
electromagnetic interference (EMI),
greatly improve data signal integrity,
and consolidate the wired data

backhaul to a single ber cable run for
long-distance connectivity.

All-in-One Design

A single, compact controller efciently

eliminates clutter, expensive cabinets,
extraneous installations, and excessive
maintenance.

Robust Construction

The ruggedized case withstands
outdoor conditions, including wind,
rain, and snow. The included cable
sleeve protects the cables and cable
opening. If you prefer, you can swap it
out for your own conduit.

Advanced Applications

For the EP-R6 and EP-R8, powerful

routing features – such as load
balancing and failover– provide
redundancy and increased
performance for outdoor wireless links.

For the EP-S16, layer-2 link

aggregation provides similar
redundancy and increased

performance benets.

Versatile Power Options

Powered by 54VDC or by PoE, the

EP-R8 and EP-S16 can support 54 or

24V passive PoE to power all Ubiquiti®
products, including airFiber® and
airMAX®.

Example of a Backhaul Deployment for the EdgePoint

The EdgePoint runs ber to the top of the tower so no cabinet is needed and there
are no long Ethernet cable runs.

Powered by 24VDC or by PoE, the

EP-R6 can support 24V passive PoE to

power most Ubiquiti products.

Intuitive User Interface

The EdgePoint features a graphical
user interface designed for convenient
setup and control. Accessed via a
network port and web browser,

the user-friendly interface provides

intuitive management with a virtual
view of the ports, displaying physical

connectivity, speed, andstatus.

Depending on whether you are

conguring a router (EP-R6 or EP-R8)
or switch (EP-S16), the conguration

interface will differ.

Routing Conguration

The EP-R6 or EP-R8 offers robust

features, including:

• VLAN interfaces for network
segmentation

• Static routes and support of routing

protocols: OSPF, RIP, and BGP

• Firewall policies and NAT rules

• Application identication with Deep
Packet Inspection (DPI)

• DHCP services

• Quality of Service (QoS)

• Network administration and
monitoring tools

• Administrator and operator
accounts

• Comprehensive IPv6 support

Datasheet

For the EP-R8, the Dashboard screen displays detailed statistics: IP information,

MTU, transmit and receive speeds, and status for each interface.

Switching Conguration

The EP-S16 provides advanced

features, including:

• MSTP/RSTP/STP

• VLAN, Private VLAN, Voice VLAN

• Link Aggregation

• DHCP Snooping, IGMP Snooping

• TACACS+, RADIUS, 802.1X, MAC
Filtering, ACL

• DiffServ, CoS

• Static Routing, Policy-Based Routing

Conguration by CLI

The CLI provides quick and exible
conguration by command line and

features the following:

• For power users, conguration and
monitoring of all advanced features

• Direct access to standard Linux

tools and shell commands (EP-R6 or
EP-R8 only)

• CLI access through the following:

• Serial console port (EP-R8 or

EP-S16 only)

• SSH

• Telnet

• Graphical user interface (EP-R6 or

EP-R8 only)

For the EP-R8, the Routing > Routes screen displays static, connected, RIP, and/or

OSFP routes. You can add static routes on this screen.

An industry‑standard command‑line interface (CLI) is available for advanced users.
