The Easiest Way to UniFi
DATASHEET
Model: UDM
Build your home or oce network with the UniFi® Dream Machine,
model UDM. Powered by a fast 1.7 GHz quad‑core processor, the
UDM combines multiple functions into a single elegant device:
• High‑Performance 802.11ac 4x4 Wave 2 Access Point (AP)
• Managed 4‑Port Gigabit Switch
• Advanced Security Gateway
• UniFi Network Controller
The UDM is the ideal rst UniFi device. It’s easy to use and still oers
all the benets of UniFi for homes and businesses. Easily expand
the UDM by adding more UniFi Switches or APs while managing
the network with the integrated controller.
The UniFi Network app and UniFi cloud provide remote access
to the controller from anywhere. The entire network can be kept
updated and safe with automated software updates, which are free
of charge.

Powerful Security
The UDM oers advanced rewall policies and persistent threat
management to act as an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and
Intrusion Detection System(IDS).
Automatic QoS
Top QoS priority is assigned to voice and video trac for clear calls
and lag‑free video streaming.
Convenient VLAN Support
The UDM can create virtual network segments for security and
network trac management.
VPN Server for Secure Communications
A site‑to‑site VPN secures and encrypts private data
communications traveling over the internet.

Management Capabilities
The UniFi Network Controller can provision UniFi devices, map
out networks, and quickly manage system trac. Important
network details are logically organized for a simplied, yet
powerful,interface.
Network Overview
From a single pane of glass, view network topology and
conguration, real‑time statistics, and debugging metrics. Monitor
your network’s vitals and make on‑the‑y adjustments as needed.
Deep Packet Inspection
Ubiquiti’s proprietary Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine includes
the latest application identication signatures to track which
applications (and IP addresses) are using the most bandwidth.
Detailed Analytics
The UniFi Network Controller provides congurable reporting
and analytics to manage large user populations and expedite
troubleshooting. Advanced search and sorting capabilities make
network management more ecient.
Multi-Site Management
A single controller running in the cloud can manage multiple
sites: multiple, distributed deployments and multi‑tenancy for
managed service providers. Each site is logically separated and
has its own conguration, maps, statistics, guest portal, and
administratoraccounts.
RF Environment
Detect and troubleshoot nearby interference, analyze radio
frequencies, and choose optimal AP placement. The auto‑optimize
feature congures the UDM with best practice settings, and the
included radio AI capability optimizes channel selection using a
genetic algorithm.
Advanced RF Performance
RF performance and conguration features include spectral
analysis, airtime fairness, band steering, and cell‑size tuning.
LAN/WLAN Groups
Create multiple LAN and WLAN groups and assign them to the
respective UniFi devices and VLANtags.
Predictive Maps
Upload a map or use Google Maps to represent the areas where
your UniFi devices are located. Use the predictive map feature* to
get a preview of coverage, and to help you avoid deadspots.
Wireless Uplink
Wireless Uplink functionality enables wireless connectivity
between APs for extended range, wireless adoption of APs in their
default state, and real‑time changes to network topology.
Guest Portal/Hotspot
Congure custom settings, including authentication, Hotspot
setup, and the option to use your own external portal server.
