Programming and Configuration
Primary configuration of the 8180 is through the web interface control
panel. In addition, there are program buttons on the unit itself for basic
setup options.
Connection to Network and Obtaining IP Address
After connecting the 8180 to a network PoE port, the blue indicator light
will turn on during initialization. The 8180 will then attempt to obtain an IP
address from the DHCP server. If unsuccessful, the 8180 will default to
the fixed IP address 192.168.1.111. When the IP address is selected, the
8180 will chime and turn off the blue light.
If you don’t have a PoE switch, you’ll need a PoE injector that
installs between the 8180 and network switch. The PoE injector
will supply 48 Vdc to the 8180. Most PoE injectors are capable
of providing more power than the 8180 requires (12.95 W).
Ensure that the PoE injector is fully compliant to the IEEE 802.3af
standard.
Web Interface Control Panel
The 8180 is configured using a web interface tool accessed by entering
the 8180 IP address into a browser.
To find this IP address, press the Menu button until the option for
“IP Address” is reached. Then press Select to hear the address.
Alternatively, search the network using the Algo Network Device Locator
Tool available for download from www.algosolutions.com/locator.
