Optional Rackmount Accessory

There is an optional UniFi Rackmount Accessory (sold separately) that can mount the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus in a standard 19" rack.

Lock Tab

Docking

Bay

To install the Rackmount Accessory, follow these instructions:

1.Attach the Rackmount Accessory to the rack using four Mounting Screws. (If the rack has square slots, then use

Cage Nuts with the Mounting Screws.)

2.Connect an Ethernet cable (not included) to the Ethernet Port on the front of the Rackmount Accessory.

3.Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a port on a compatible PoE switch, such as a UniFi PoE Switch.

12

When connecting the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus to the Rackmount Accessory, the width of the Docking Bay must be adjusted to accommodate the dimensions. To adjust the Docking Bay:

1.Press down on the Lock Tab and slide the docking bay cover open until it locks into place.

2.Remove the pre-installed sticker from the 13-pin connector.

3.Insert the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus into the docking bay once the following three conditions are met:

a.The 13-pin connector is face up

b.The LCD screen is face forward

c.There is no Ethernet cable connected to the Ethernet Port on the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus

Warning: To prevent creating a loop or other unfavorable behavior on the network, only one Ethernet connection should be used. Do not use the Ethernet port on the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus and

the Rackmount Accessory simultaneously.

13

Setting Up UniFi SDN via App

Download and install the UniFi SDN app to configure the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus.

Note: Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. You will need to set up the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus with your mobile device and be within 1.5 m (5’) from where it is installed.

1. Launch the app and tap the + icon to add a new controller.

14

2.Once detected, the app will automatically connect to the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus and the LED will begin to flash blue. If more than one controller is detected, swipe through the app screens horizontally until you locate the correct Cloud Key Gen2 Plus. Then tap Set up this controller.

3.Once connected, the corresponding Controller Setup screen will appear. Enter a name for the UniFi SDN controller

and select the appropriate Country and Time Zone information. When you are finished, tap Next.
