Basic Connections
Here is an example of a simple EasyIP deployment. In this setup, an EasyIP Decoder manages up to four
EasyIP 10 cameras and provides hard-wired audio connections. A PoE+ switch provides power and
network connectivity to the EasyIP products. The EasyIP Decoder connects directly to a computer as a
USB conferencing device.
If no PoE+ switch is used, a mid-span PoE+ power injector (sold separately) is required for each EasyIP
device.
Note
EasyIP 10 cameras require an EasyIP Decoder to decode the AV-over-IP signal and originate a USB
stream. The EasyIP Decoder is compatible with EasyIP cameras only. It does not detect or pair with other
types of cameras.
Vaddio recommends making all connections while the PoE+ switch is turned off.
Caution
Do not connect the PoE+ switch to the network without guidance from an on-site network specialist.
Powering Up the EasyIP System
Vaddio recommends making all connections while the PoE+ switch is turned off. To power the system,
turn on the PoE+ switch.

The EasyIP Decoder's status light turns blue when the device is ready. The connected computer
recognizes it as a USB peripheral.

The EasyIP 10 cameras initialize and move if they are powered from the same PoE+ switch. This will
take a few seconds. When each camera's status light turns blue, the camera is ready to accept control
information.
