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
Networks. For more details, visit:

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.

RJ45 (Ports 0-9)
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 115200
• Data bits 8
• Parity NONE
• Stop bits 1
• Flow control NONE
All RJ45 ports can be used for routing
and support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
connections. Ports 0 - 7 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).
SFP routing ports are hot-swappable and
support Gigabit fiber SFP modules.

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 eth9 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
Cord from the Power Adapter. Press and
hold the Reset button while connecting
the power (refer to “Connecting Power”
for details). The port LEDs will light up
in sequential order. Keep holding the
Reset button until the System LED starts
flashing blue and white, and then release
the button.
