Install Network to VR124COAX and IP Cameras

Refer to the above diagram when installing. Use best industry practices and follow all local building codes.

1) Connect an earth ground to each unit before making any additional connections.

2) Connect a network cable from the security room or IP network equipment to the CONTROL unit.

3) Connect a coaxial cable between the CONTROL unit and the REMOTE Unit.

4) Connect a network cable from the REMOTE unit’s Ethernet jack to the IP camera.

5) Connect a Class 2 power transformer to the push in power connector of each VR124COAX units. The units require
24VAC or VDC @ 1 Amp. There is no polarity to these terminals.

Normal Operation

When power is applied to both units the Network LED’s will come on and the link status LED will blink for about 30 sec­onds as the link is being optimized. When the link is stable the link status LED will remain “ON”. The data LED will blink
with network activity.

Troubleshooting

After completing installation, if the units are not operating properly, check each step at each unit in order.

1) If the Power LED is off verify the unit’s power connections and verify that the power source is on an active cir­cuit.

2) If the link status LED does not stop blinking, verify that the coax cable has been properly installed and make
sure Control unit’s link Type LED is “OFF” and that Remote unit’s link Type LED is “ON”.

3) If the Activity LED is “OFF” verify you have power to the camera and good connections to the RJ45 connectors.

4) If the activity LED is “ON” and the link status LED is “ON” and there is no picture, verify camera IP address and
monitoring IP address are proper and refresh the monitor. Directly attach the camera through a short patch cable
directly to NVR/IP network. Verify that camera and monitor program are properly functioning.
