AXIS Q6042-S PTZ Dome Network Camera
Hardware Overview
Power connector (DC input) -
2-pin terminal block for power input.
Power connector (DC output) -
Two 2-pin terminal block for power output (pin 4 is not used).
Network connector RJ45 (external) -
Two RJ45 connectors (10/100Base-T) for network connectivity.
Network slot SFP (external) -
Two SFP slots (100Base-FX/1000Base-X) for network connectivity.
Each RJ45 and SFP port has its own dip switch. The dip switches control how the port forwards data. See

Dip switch position
Description of use
Default (middle)
B
When connecting to the network, directly or through a router or network
switch.
Left
A
When connecting to a camera or a device that is not intended for viewing
data.
Right
C
When connecting to another media converter switch.
Network connector (internal) -
Two 2-pin Ethernet terminal blocks.
I/O connector (external) -
6-pin configurable I/O terminal block, which is connected to the camera through the multi-connector
cable. Use with external devices in combination with, for example, tampering alarms, motion detection, event triggering, time lapse
recording and alarm notifications. In addition to the 0 V DC reference point and power (DC output), the I/O connector provides the
interface to:
•
Digital output –
For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated
by the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface, output buttons on the Live View page or by an Action Rule.
The output will show as active (shown under
System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status
) if the alarm
device is activated.
•
Digital input –
An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for
example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the state changes and
the input becomes active (shown under
System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status
).
I/O connector (internal) -
2–pin I/O terminal block.
Network Connector Dip Switches
Important
Always use the default dip switch setting (position B) if the relationship between devices in the system is not defined.
The camera attaches a particular VLAN tag to all its forwarded multicast packages. The media converter switch manages how these
multicast packages are forwarded between cameras, media converter switches and other network devices. This especially useful when
connecting the camera and media converter switch to the network in a daisy chain.
By changing the position of the dip switches, each network connector port in the media converter switch can be configured
to manage multicasts in three different ways.
