The Genie LAN connector is a standard Ethernet socket. Use CAT5e or CAT6 certified
Ethernet cables. CAT5e cable is rated for 100 MHz spectral bandwidth but CAT6 cable is
rated for a 200 MHz spectral bandwidth with less signal attenuation, therefore strongly
recommended for long connection lengths.
The interconnection Ethernet cable can be either Straight Through or Crossover cable type.
The Gigabit Ethernet standard for devices defines that they will auto-negotiate send and
receive channels, eliminating the need for users to use a specific Ethernet cable type.
Camera Status LED
The Genie has one multicolor LED to provide a simple visible indication of the operational
status of the camera. When more than one condition is active, the LED color indicates the
condition with the highest priority. The following table summarizes the LED states and
corresponding camera status.
