8724 V Tribrid NVR Installation Guide

Feature Overview
PoE Modules
Inside the unit, there are slots available for PoE modules so that the recorder can contain 8, 16, or
24 PoE (Power Over Ethernet) ports for IP cameras (3 available PoE modules with 8 ports each). If
the unit has 24 PoE ports, there are no HDoC camera ports. The connections are all found inside the
unit (see “Video Inputs - HDoC and PoE” on page 14).
Each PoE module has eight RJ-45 connectors with LEDs to indicate the status of the connection.
They each provide a 10/100 BaseT auto-negotiated Ethernet connection on a standard network
Pinout.
LEDs for the PoE Ethernet Ports
Each Ethernet port has colored LEDs that indicate the connection and activity status:
•
Amber LED (on): A link is established but there is no activity.
•
Amber LED (off): There is no link.
•
Amber LED (blinking): A link is established and there is data activity.
•
The Green LED indicates Ethernet link status.
Power Details for the 8 PoE Ethernet Ports on a PoE Module
The unit provides power to the PoE ports.
The PoE ports support the IEEE 802.3af standard and allow connectivity of devices/cameras
requiring up to 15.4 W (Class 0 or Class 3).
The 8724 V PoE module allows a maximum power budget of 64 W total.
Note:
You must ensure that the combined maximum camera power consumption does not exceed
64 W at any time.
If you require a PoE camera configuration that does not meet these camera power
recommendations, please contact March Networks customer support.
Current Limits for the PoE Ethernet Ports
Each port has a current limit of 350 mA. This current limit allows the use of Class 0, 1, 2, and 3 PoE
powered devices.
