About PoE addre s s s etup, operation and allocati on.
1) Insert PoE
After you insert PoE, device may try t o set a corr esponding IP address of the Switch networ k ad apt er . First ,
system tries to set via arp ping. It then uses DHCP if it finds the DHCP is en abled. After successfully set IP
address, system may use Sw itch t o s end out broadcast, syst em thin k s t he connection is OK when there i s
any response. Now system is t rying to login the newly found IPC. N ow please check the interface, you can
see the corresponding digit al channel is active now. You can see a small PoE icon at the top left corner.
You can see the PoE channel, Po E por t in formation and etc from the connect ion list of the remote device
interface (Chapter 5.6.11 in the User’s Manual). For the IP search list, you need to click the IP searc h t o
display or refresh.
2) Remove PoE
After you removed PoE, you can see the corresponding digita l channel becomes idle (disable). On the
remote device interface, it is removed from the connected list. For the I P search list, you need to click the
IP search to refresh.
3) After you insert PoE, syst em fo ll ow s t he pr inciples listed below to map channel.
a) If it is your first time to insert PoE, system can map it to the first idle channel. After map, the
channel can memorize the MAC address of the IPC. It is a <Channel>---<IPC mac> map. If
current channel does not conn ect t o other device, system can memor ize current MAC
Page 22
17
address, otherwise it can r efresh to the newly added device and memorize the <PoE port>--<Channel>.
b) If it is your second time to insert t he PoE, system can check the saved MAC address
according to <Channel>---<IPC mac> map to make sure curr ent I PC has connected or not. If
system finds the previous in formation and the channel is idle, system can map it to the
previously used channel. Otherwise system goes to the next step.
c) Thirdly, according to the <PoE port>---<Channel> map, system can know the prev ious
mapping channel of curre nt PoE port. System can select curre nt channel if it is free.
Otherwise, it goes to the next st ep:
d) Fourthly, system goes to fi nd t he f ir st id le channel it can get.
Generally speaking, once you insert PoE, system follow t he s t eps listed above to find the channel
available.
4) When you insert PoE, all channels are in use now.
System can pop up a dialogue box f or you to select a channel to overwr it e. The title of the pop-up interf ace
is the name of the current operation PoE port. In this interface, All PoE c hannel become grey and can no t
select.
