at humminbird.com for the latest accessories and updated compatibility information
as additional cameras may be added to the network in the future.

because a DHCP server is required for the configuration. Also, review the IRIS402

requirements. In addition to the IRIS402 Marine Network Camera, you will need the

Connect the Camera(s) to your Home/Office Network

Before the camera is installed on the boat, it must be configured using a PC with Internet access. We recommend using your home
or office network for the configuration because a DHCP server must be used, which is a typical setup in a home/office network.

If you are installing the Ethernet power injector, see the IRIS402 installation guide and the
Ethernet power injector guide to connect the Ethernet power injector to power. Use an
additional RJ45 cable to connect the power injector to the router or PC.

If an Ethernet power injector is not available, connect the IRIS RJ45 cable connector
(without the screw nut) to the Ethernet port on the router or PC. See your IRIS402 installation
guide to connect the cable wires to a power source.

If you are installing more than one camera, and a router with multiple ports is not available,
you can set up one camera at a time.
