UF-AE Quick Start Guide
Package Contents
- UF-AE unit
- Wall Mount Bracket
- Screws (Qty. 4)
- Screw Anchors (Qty. 4)
Installation Requirement
The UF-AE requires an active fiber SFP module and does not support passive GPON SFP modules.
Hardware Overview
Ports
SFP Port: The hot-swappable SFP port supports a 1 Gbps connection. An SFP+ module can be used, but the maximum speed remains 1 Gbps.
Ethernet Port: The RJ45 Ethernet port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps connections. It also supports 802.3af active PoE or 24V passive PoE for device power.
LED Indicators
Ethernet LED
- Off: Ethernet connection down
- Amber: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection up. Flashing indicates activity.
- White: 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) Ethernet connection up. Flashing indicates activity.
Signal LED
- Off: Optical signal present
- Amber: Loss of optical signal. Check the fiber cable for damage and ensure it is properly connected on both ends.
Power LED
- Off: Power off
- White: Power on
Hardware Installation
Wall Mounting
Follow these steps to mount the UF-AE to a wall:
- Position the wall mount bracket on the desired wall location. Secure the bracket to the wall using the provided screws and screw anchors.
- Slide the UF-AE unit onto the wall mount bracket until it is firmly seated.
Connecting Fiber
The UF-AE requires an active fiber SFP module and does not support passive GPON SFP modules. An SFP+ module can be used, but the maximum speed is 1 Gbps.
- Insert an active fiber SFP module into the SFP port on the UF-AE.
- Connect the fiber optic cable to the SFP module.
- Connect the other end of the fiber optic cable to your fiber network.
Connecting LAN
Connect an Ethernet cable from your network device (such as a switch or router) to the RJ45 Ethernet port on the UF-AE.
Connecting Power
The UF-AE can be powered using either 802.3af PoE or 24V Passive PoE. Connect the power source to the Ethernet port.
Note: The Ubiquiti airCube AC is an ideal complement for CPE installations, providing a 1 Gbps Ethernet connection and Wi-Fi connectivity with PoE passthrough.
WARNING: The switch port must comply with the power specifications listed in this Quick Start Guide.
