SETUP AND CONFIGURATION

1

Physical Installation

The Epic 5 can be rack-mounted or used as a desktop router. Install the 

router in a stable/safe place to avoid any possible damage. Make sure there is 
adequate space around the router for ventilation and proper heat dissipation. 
Avoid placement in direct sunlight. Do not place heavy articles on the router 
and verify the ground connection of the outlet is functioning properly.

Desktop/Shelf Installation

For desktop/shelf installation, attach the four rubber feet to the corner 
indentations on the bottom of the router, then place the router on  
a solid, level platform.

Rack Installation

Use the included L brackets for convenient installation in a 19-inch server or AV 

rack. As shown below, use four screws to attach the L-shaped brackets on both 
sides of the router then mount it horizontally in the rack. Use your desired 

hardware to affix the router supports to the rack.

Connecting Ethernet and Power

Before you attempt to configure the router, test the Internet connection to 
verify that it is functioning properly. Once Internet access is confirmed to 
be working, follow the steps below for installation and configuration. 

Connecting Ethernet

Luxul recommends at least Cat-5e unshielded twisted pair (CAT5e UTP) 
cabling. To ensure best performance and stable data transmission at 1000 
Mbps, use Category-6 unshielded twisted pair (CAT6 UTP).

1. 

Connect the WAN: 

Connect the Internet cable from a telco/ISP 

modem/router to the dedicated WAN 1 port on the Epic 5.

2. 

Connect the LAN:

 Connect a cable from the dedicated LAN 1 port on 

the Epic 5 to a switch, access point, or computer.

For best performance, and to maximize available ports, Luxul recommends 
connecting all LAN devices to a Luxul switch, then connecting that switch 

to the Epic 5 LAN port via a single Ethernet cable.

 

n

NOTE:

  Connect all LAN devices to a Luxul switch, then connect that 

switch to the router for best results.

Connecting Power

Use the included power cable to connect the router to a surge-protected 

outlet. The AC input socket and power switch are on the rear panel. The 

built-in power supply supports 100~240VAC at 50/60Hz.
