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 8 for instructions.

• TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER Go to “Installation of
the TOUGHSwitchPoECARRIER” on page 9 for
instructions.

Configuration

After you install the TOUGHSwitch, refer to the
instructions in “Navigation” on page 11, 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.

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.

Installation Requirements

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

• 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. For more details, visit

www.ubnt.com/toughcable

Note: Although the cabling can be located

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

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.

Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.

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

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

groundingblock.

6

Chapter 2: InstallationTOUGHSwitch™ PoE User Guide

Connecting Power

1. Connect the power connector of the Power Adapter to

the Power port 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.

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

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 24).

Connecting Ethernet

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

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 other end of the Power Cord to a power
outlet.

Note: PoE is disabled by default on all numbered

ports and is not available on the Management port.

Chapter 2: InstallationTOUGHSwitch™ PoE User Guide

Installation of the

TOUGHSwitchPoECARRIER

Installation Requirements

• Phillips and flathead screwdrivers

• Standard‑sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U

height available

• 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. For more details, visit

www.ubnt.com/toughcable

Note: Although the cabling can be located

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

Hardware Installation

1. Connect the Power Cord to the Power port of each
TOUGHSwitch.

2. Attach the TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER to the rack
using the four 10-32 x 5/8 Phillips Screws. (If the rack has
square slots, then use the 10-32 x 5/8 Cage Nuts with the
Phillips Screws.)

Note: Keep 20 mm of clearance next to the

ventilation holes for adequate airflow.

3. Attach the top portion of the faceplate at a slight angle,
and then snap on the bottom portion. Secure the
faceplate to the TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER using the
two M3x8 FlatheadScrews.

Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.

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

Chapter 2: InstallationTOUGHSwitch™ PoE User Guide

Connecting Ethernet

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer or host
system to the Management port of TOUGHSwitch A.

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.)

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

Uplink Options

The TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER functions as two separate
switches. All data ports are available as uplink ports, so
you have the following two options:

Daisy-Chain Option

If you want to daisy‑chain TOUGHSwitch A and B, we
recommend that you connect an Ethernet cable from port

8 of TOUGHSwitch A to port1 of TOUGHSwitch B. (For

clarity, the other cables are not shown in the illustration.)

Uplink to Core Switch Option

If you want to uplink TOUGHSwitch A and B to an
independent core switch, follow these instructions:

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from any numbered port of
TOUGHSwitch A to a port on the core switch.

2. Connect another Ethernet cable from any numbered
port of TOUGHSwitch B to a port on the core switch.

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 24).

3. Uplink options are described in the following section.
After you have finished the installation, proceed to

“Configuring the TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER” on
page 12.

Note: For clarity, the other cables connected to the

switches are not shown, except for a cable from
the EdgeRouter to the core switch.
