Ethernet (POE)
TCP/IP Receiver
13.1 Introduction The Power-over-Ethernet version of the Smart-Vue TCP/IP Network
Receiver receives electrical power directly from your Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE) enabled network. Plugged into your local Ethernet network, this PoE
receiver collects data wirelessly from various types of Smart-Vue end-point
modules, including temperature, humidity and other sensors, and transfers
it to the Smart-Vue Server data monitoring software.
Network receivers are particularly useful when you need to read one or more
groups of Smart-Vue modules that are located remotely from the Smart-Vue
Server computer used to monitor the data.

CAUTION: This receiver includes an automatic TCP/IP connection
feature. Installation requires knowledge of your organization’s IP addresses,
particularly static IP addresses. If you do not have access to this information,
contact your system administrator for help before starting this installation.
