Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The USW-Pro-48-POE is a UniFi Switch designed for network management and power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. This quick start guide provides comprehensive information on its package contents, hardware description, installation requirements, and software setup, ensuring a smooth deployment and optimal performance.

Function Description

The UniFi Switch serves as a central component in a network, facilitating Ethernet connections and providing Power over Ethernet (PoE) to compatible devices. It supports various Ethernet speeds, including 10/100/1000 Mbps on its RJ45 ports and 1/10 Gbps on its SFP+ ports. The switch is designed to integrate seamlessly with the UniFi Controller software, allowing for centralized management and monitoring of the network. It offers redundant power capabilities when connected to a UniFi SmartPower Redundant Power System (USP-RPS), ensuring continuous operation even in the event of AC power loss or internal power supply failure.

Usage Features

The USW-Pro-48-POE offers a range of features that enhance its usability and network performance:

• Extensive Connectivity: The switch is equipped with 48 RJ45 PoE LEDs (ports 1-48) and 4 SFP+ Speed/Link/Activity LEDs (ports 49-52). The RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections and 802.3af/at PoE output, with ports 41-48 also supporting 802.3bt PoE output. The SFP+ ports are hot-swappable and support 1/10 Gbps connections, providing high-speed uplink capabilities.
• Intuitive Touch Screen: A touch screen on the device provides immediate feedback on the switch's status. It displays startup animations, indicates factory defaults or pending approval, shows a fixed white light for network approval and successful operation, and a steady blue light for normal operation. A location animation is displayed when the "Locate" function is activated in the UniFi controller software, helping users quickly identify the device.
• LED Indicators: The RJ45 PoE LEDs (ports 1-48) indicate the presence of PoE (when disabled, it means no PoE). The Speed/Link/Activity LEDs for ports 1-48 show the connection status: disabled means not connected, amber indicates a 10/100 Mbps link with blinking for activity, and green signifies a 1000 Mbps link with blinking for activity. Similarly, the SFP+ Speed/Link/Activity LEDs (ports 49-52) indicate connection status: disabled means not connected, green indicates a 1 Gbps link with blinking for activity, and white signifies a 10 Gbps link with blinking for activity.
• Redundant Power Input: The switch includes a DC input designed to connect to a UniFi SmartPower Redundant Power System (USP-RPS). This feature provides redundant power, ensuring that the switch remains operational even if the primary AC power source fails or an internal power supply issue occurs. The LED lights blue when there is an active power connection on the USP DC input.
• Easy Management with UniFi Controller: The switch is managed through the UniFi Controller software, which provides a centralized interface for configuring and monitoring the network. Users can adopt the switch into their network from the Devices screen in the UniFi controller panel. The System LED on the UniFi Switch turns blue to confirm successful deployment, indicating that it is ready for use.
• Reset Functionality: A dedicated reset button offers two functions: a quick press and release performs a standard reset, while pressing and holding the button for more than five seconds restores the device to its factory default settings.

Maintenance Features

Maintaining the USW-Pro-48-POE involves several considerations to ensure its longevity and reliable operation:

• Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is crucial to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. It is recommended to maintain at least 20mm clearance next to the ventilation holes for proper airflow.
• Environmental Protection: The switch is designed for indoor applications. For outdoor use, Category 5 (or higher) shielded cabling is required for all Ethernet connections, and it must be connected to the AC ground of the power supply. Ubiquiti's Industrial Grade Shielded Ethernet Cable is recommended to protect networks from harmful outdoor environments and electrostatic discharge. Although wiring can be run outside, the UniFi Switch itself must be stored inside a protective case.
• Power Regulation: It is strongly recommended to use power regulation and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to prevent equipment damage due to local AC power stability issues. This helps protect the switch from power surges and fluctuations.
• Electrical Safety: Adherence to electrical safety information is mandatory. This includes complying with current, frequency, and voltage requirements indicated on the manufacturer's label. The equipment is supplied with a detachable power cord with an integral safety ground wire, which must not be substituted. Only qualified service technicians should perform maintenance or repairs, as the equipment contains no operator-serviceable parts.
• Firmware Updates: Regular updates to the UniFi Controller software are important for maintaining optimal performance and security. Users should download and install the latest version of the UniFi driver software from the official website and follow the on-screen instructions. If an older version of the UniFi Controller (5.10.x or higher) is already installed, users can proceed directly to the "UniFi Switch Implementation" section for setup.
