Installation Requirements

• 7 mm socket wrench

• S2 hex wrench

• Ground wire – min. 10 AWG (5 mm

2

) and max. length: 1m. Asa

safety precaution, ground the EdgePoint to a grounded mast,

pole, tower, or grounding bar.

• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all

wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through

the AC ground of the PoE.

• We recommend that you protect your networks from

harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events

with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti

Networks. For more details, visit: www.ubnt.com/toughcable

TERMS OF USE: Shielded Ethernet cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product

warranty. TOUGHCable

™

is designed for outdoor installations. It is the customer’s responsibility to

follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power,

and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

Introduction

Hardware Overview

Bottom Panel Button

Reset

Button

Description

Reset

There are two methods to reset the EP-R8 to

factory defaults:

Runtime Reset (Recommended)

The EP-R8 should be running after bootup is

complete. Press and hold the Reset button

for about 10seconds until the eth7 or SFP2

LED starts flashing and then becomes solidly

lit (the SFP 2 LED is used if there is an SFP

module connected to the SFP 2 port). After

a few seconds, the LED will turn off, and the

EP-R8 will automatically reboot.

Power-on Reset

1. Disconnect power from the EP-R8.

2. Press and hold the Reset button while

connecting power to the EP-R8. Keep

holding the button until the eth7 or SFP 2

LED starts flashing and then stops flashing

after a few seconds (the SFP 2 LED is used

if there is an SFP module connected to the

SFP 2 port).

Console

Interface Description

Console

RJ45 serial console port for Command

Line Interface (CLI) management. Use an

RJ45-to-DB9, serial console cable, also known

as a rollover cable, to connect the Console

port to your computer. (If your computer does

not have a DB9 port, then you will also need

a DB9 adapter.) Then configure the following

settings as needed:

• Baud rate 115200

• Data bits 8

• Parity NONE

• Stop bits 1

• Flow control NONE

Note: Remove the protective plug from the Console port

before use.

Hardware Overview

Power Options

Either the VDC or PoE input type is used at any one time. If both

are connected, only the input type with the highest voltage will be

used; the other can be used as a backup.

Both PoE inputs can be used at the same time. If there is a voltage

difference, the higher-voltage source will be used first. The voltage

from the initial source will drop as the load increases. When the

voltage drops to the same level as the lower-voltage source, then

the lower-voltage source will also start providing power.

Power Input Options

• 54VDC, 6A

• 54V, 1.5A on eth0 (PoE In)

• 54V, 1.5A on PoE In

Power Output Options

• EdgePoint (required)

• Passive 54/24V, 4-Pair PoE on

eth1-eth2

• Passive 24V, 2-Pair PoE on

eth3-eth7

The number of devices that can be powered depends on the

power consumption of the specific devices. Example: If you use

54VDC, 1.5A, then you have 81W. If the EdgePoint uses 40W, then

you have 41W for PoE output. Check product specifications for the

power consumption values to use in your calculations.

Terminal block connector uses auto-polarity

detection and accepts +42 to +56VDC, 6A

input (including the Ubiquiti EdgePower

,

model EP-54V-150W) to power the EdgePoint

and passive PoE output. -48V is NOT supported.
