Basic Installation Guidelines
Connections
Options
Power
Power over Ethernet (PoE):
Connect the unit’s P0 port to an active, PoE-enabled network switch.
Network
PoE units:
Using PoE to power the unit, you should already have a network connection.
Daisy-chain conf iguration:
Once network connection is established to one unit, you can daisy-chain additional units by
connecting Ethernet cables between devices using their P0 and/or P1 ports. Keep in mind that the number of units
supported in this configuration is limited by bandwidth (total aggregate streams must be less than 1Gb/s).
NOTE:
PoE power is only supplied to the unit connected directly to the network. All other units in the daisy-chain must
have an external power supply.
