Side Panels Ventilation Holes 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. WARNING: The ES-8-150W must not be stacked. Do not place it on top of another switch. Do not place anything on top of the ES-8-150W.
Hardware Installation The EdgeSwitch can be placed on a horizontal surface, or mounted on a shelf or wall. Mounting on a Shelf 1. Position the two Mount Brackets as shown below, and attach the brackets using the eight Bracket Screws. 2. Secure the EdgeSwitch to the shelf using the four Mounting Screws.
Mounting on a Wall 1. Position the two Mount Brackets as shown below, and attach the brackets using the eight Bracket Screws. 2. Attach the EdgeSwitch to the wall using the four Screw Anchors and four Mounting Screws.
Connecting AC Power 1. Connect the Power Cord to the AC Power port on the back of the EdgeSwitch. 2. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.
Connecting DC Power (Optional) For stand-alone DC power or redundant power backup, connect a 42 to 56VDC power source to the EdgeSwitch: Note: Only AC power or DC power can be used at any one time. With both power sources connected, the input with the highest voltage will be used (output voltage of the internal AC/DC PSU is 54VDC); the other power source defaults to backup. 1. Insert the DC power cable wires into the DC Input terminal block. Polarity is self-correcting. 2.
Connecting Ethernet 1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your DHCP server or LAN to any port on the EdgeSwitch. 2. Connect your computer or host system and other devices to the other ports on the EdgeSwitch.
Using SFP Ports To use an SFP port: 1. Remove the protective plug covering the SFP port. 2. Plug a compatible fiber module into the SFP port. D D M K 0 m 2 n CS 0 1 /M 3 1 S xR s /m pb n M 0 0 5 0 5 0 1 1 xT M 3. Connect the fiber optic cable to the fiber module. Then connect the other end of the cable to another fiber device. For information about compatible fiber SFP modules, visit: community.ubnt.
Accessing the Configuration Interface The EdgeSwitch is set to DHCP by default, so it will try to automatically obtain an IP address. If that fails, then it will use the default fallback IP address, 192.168.1.2. Proceed to the appropriate section, DHCP or “Fallback IP Address”: DHCP Use one of the following methods: • Set up the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to the EdgeSwitch based on its MAC address (on the label).
3. The EdgeSwitch Configuration Interface will appear. Customize additional settings as needed. For more information, refer to the EdgeSwitch documentation, which is available at www.ubnt.com/download/edgemax You can also manage your device using the Ubiquiti Network Management System. UNMS lets you configure, monitor, upgrade, and back up your devices using a single application. Get started at www.unms.com Fallback IP Address 1.
4. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Click Sign In. 5. The EdgeSwitch Configuration Interface will appear. Click the Settings icon.
6. Change the IP Address to a unique IP address. Click Apply. Note: If you change the IP settings, then the session will be cut off, and you will need to reconnect to the EdgeSwitch using the new IP address. Customize additional settings as needed. For more information, refer to the EdgeSwitch documentation, which is available at www.ubnt.
