PoE operation Description
Connect to PoE port
When an IPC is connected to the PoE port, the system automatically
assigns the IP address to the IPC according to the set IP segment. The
Device will try the method of arp ping to assign the IP address. If DHCP is
enabled on the Device, the Device will use DHCP to assign the IP address.
●
When IP address is successfully set, the system will broadcast through
the switch function. If there is a response from the IPC, it means the
connection is successful, and the Device will log in to the IPC. You can
nd the corresponding channel occupied and there is a PoE icon at
the upper-left corner.

You can also view PoE status such as channel number and PoE port
number on the Added Device list in Main Menu > CAMERA >
Camera List.

of Failed to nd network host on the live channel window.
