2.1 Special Features for Video Networks
•
Active Camera Monitoring
Cameras powered via a PoE connection from the switch are continually monitored. In the case of
a camera failure, the switch automatically restarts the camera all by itself. Should this operation
fail, the switch automatically sends out an alarm via SNMP.
•
Active Monitoring of the PoE Power Supply
Should the amount of power requested from the switch be too high, e.g. through a defective
camera, the switch will automatically send out an alarm via SNMP.
•
Active Management of the Level of PoE Power Supplied
When the switch is started up, the individual PoE ports can be started up one after another to
avoid overloading the PoE power supply.
