Setting up Camera Hardware
The following section describes the procedure for setting up the camera hardware.
Figure 1
, below, depicts
various connectors on the back of the unit.
Figure 1. IP Camera Hardware
1. Connect the RJ45 connector to both a local network port and the RJ45 connector located on the
back on the unit. The camera supports Auto-MDI and therefore does not require a crossover cable.
2. Connect the terminal end of the serial connector on the back of the unit. This is only required if a
terminal session is required.
3. Connect the female DB9 connector to the serial port on the host PC. Please exercise caution when
connecting and removing the female DB9 connector to ensure that it does not break.
4. The Mini Tripod simply screws into the mount on the bottom of the unit.
5. Apply power by connecting the power adapter to the barrel connector on the back of the board.
This is not required if a POE Ethernet connection is used.
6. Blue LEDs inside the top side of the enclosure indicate that the unit is running when activated.

Setting up Camera Software
This section describes the procedure for starting a streaming video session.
Note that the serial connection is not required to run the system. If it is desired that a Linux shell be present,
connect the serial cable to the host PC as described above, and start up a terminal program for an 8-N-1,
115,200 connection. Disable all forms of Flow Control (Flow Control should be set to NONE).
