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-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

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 125 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.
125 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 Ground
Screw.
3. Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounding block.
