Chapter 2: Installation

Introduction

Proceed to the instructions for your TOUGHSwitch model:

• TOUGHSwitch PoE The instructions are below.

• TOUGHSwitch PoE PRO Go to “Installation of the

TOUGHSwitchPoEPRO” on page 6 for instructions.

Configuration

After you install the TOUGHSwitch, refer to the
instructions in “Navigation” on page 7, which explain
how to access the Configuration Interface.

Installation of the TOUGHSwitch PoE

Mount the TOUGHSwitch on a wall, or place it on a

benchtop.

Note: Keep 20 mm of clearance next to the

ventilation holes for adequate airflow.

Installation Requirements

• Drill, 6 mm drill bit, and Phillips screwdriver
(wall‑mounting)

• 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 outdoor networks from the most
brutal environments and devastating ESD attacks with
industrial‑grade shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks

www.ubnt.com/toughcable

™

. For more details, visit:

Wall-Mounting (Optional)

To mount the TOUGHSwitch on a wall:

1. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill two holes 60 mm apart.

2. Insert the M2.9 Anchors into the holes.

3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure a M2.9x20 Screw to
each anchor. Leave a clearance of approximately 3 mm
between each screw head and its anchor.

60 mm

3 mm

Note: You can also mount the TOUGHSwitch in a

horizontal orientation.

4. Position the Wall-Mount Slots of the TOUGHSwitch
over the screw heads on the wall. Then slide the
TOUGHSwitch to the left to lock it into place.

Note: Although the cabling can be located

outdoors, the TOUGHSwitch itself should be
housed inside a protective enclosure.

Chapter 2: InstallationTOUGHSwitch™ PoE User Guide

Grounding the TOUGHSwitch (Optional)

The TOUGHSwitch is grounded through the Power
Adapter; however, you can add optional ESD grounding for

enhanced ESD protection.

1. Insert a ground wire (not included) through a corner
slot.

2. Twist tie to secure the ground wire to the
TOUGHSwitch.

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

Connecting Power

1. Connect the power connector of the Power Adapter to
the Power port of the TOUGHSwitch.

Connecting Ethernet

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port
of your computer to the Management port of the
TOUGHSwitch.

2. Connect Ethernet cables from the Ethernet ports
of your devices to the numbered ports of the
TOUGHSwitch.

2. Connect the Power Cord to the power port on the

Power Adapter. Connect the other end of the Power
Cord to a power outlet.

Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.

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 (see “PoE” on
page 20).

Chapter 3: NavigationTOUGHSwitch™ PoE User Guide

Chapter 3: Navigation

The Configuration Interface is an advanced operating
system accessed through a simple and intuitive user
interface. The TOUGHSwitch uses the Configuration
Interface for convenient configuration and management
via a web browser.

Accessing the Configuration
Interface

Connect to the Configuration Interface by performing the
following steps:

1. Ensure that your computer (or other host machine)
is connected to the Management port on the
TOUGHSwitch.

Note: By default, you can configure the

TOUGHSwitch 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 Device tab; see “Management
Network Settings” on page 14.)

2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system
with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet (for
example, 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).

4. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the
Username and Password fields. Click Login.

5. The Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to
customize your settings as needed. You can enable PoE
on the Ports tab; see “PoE” on page 20.

Product Verification

The Configuration Interface will verify whether a product
is genuine or counterfeit.

For a genuine TOUGHSwitch, the Configuration Interface
will display a Genuine Product logo in the lower left corner
of the screen.

For any product that is not an official Ubiquiti product, the
Configuration Interface will display a counterfeit warning.
Please contact Ubiquiti at [e-mail] regarding
this product.

Interface Tabs

The Configuration Interface contains five main tabs, each
of which provides a web-based management page to
configure a specific aspect of the TOUGHSwitch. This User
Guide covers each tab with a chapter. For details on a
specific tab, refer to the appropriate chapter.

• Status The “Status Tab” on page 9 displays status
information and statistics for each port.

• Device The “Device Tab” on page 13 configures
system settings and services for the TOUGHSwitch.

• Ports The “Ports Tab” on page 19 configures
settings and services for each port.

• VLANs The “VLANs Tab” on page 22 configures
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) for the various
ports.

• Alerts The “Alerts Tab” on page 24 displays alerts if
alert logging is configured and system log messages if
system logging is enabled.

Each page also contains network administration and
monitoring tools:

• “Ping” on page 26

• “Traceroute” on page 27
