Connect to a Power Source and the Network
The receiver is an IP network device and so must be connected to the LAN for operation. It can also be powered from the LAN connection if Power over
Ethernet (PoE) is available, otherwise use its DC supply.
By default, the receivers are configured to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server on the network. You can subsequently configure a static IP address if
required, or pre-configure a static address prior to connecting to the network. Refer to “Assigning a Static IP Address” on page 26 for more information.
Network Connection and PoE
Make a connection to your LAN using the RJ-45
ETHERNET
connection on the receiver’s rear panel. If PoE is available, all rear panel LEDs turn on as soon as the
connection is made. (The front panel LED behaves as described in “During Power On” on page 19.) Without PoE, connect the DC supply as described below.
DC Supply
PoE
– All AvediaPlayer r93xx Receivers are PoE-enabled
devices. They can be powered using any LAN Switch or
mid-span device meeting the 802.3af PoE (Power over
Ethernet) specifications.
On the AvediaPlayer r9300 and AvediaPlayer r9310
Receivers, two LEDs show the status of the Ethernet
interface. In normal operation the orange
link
LED is
permanently lit if the connection is 100Mbps, and not lit if
it is 10Mbps. The green
activity
LED flickers on when
packets are transmitted or received.
DC Supply
- If not using PoE to power the unit, connect the AC-
DC Power Supply to the mains power supply and the receiver DC
power inlet connector. (The PSU is an optional accessory which
must be ordered separately.)
