over the twisted-pair cable without requiring its own separate power source. This
capability gives network administrators centralized power control, which
translates into greater network availability.
To connect a device to the port, you will need to use Category 5 (or better)
network cable.
NOTE NOTE FOR WVC2300: Attaching an Ethernet cable will disable the wireless
interface on the WVC2300 camera. Only one interface can be active at any time.
NOTE NOTE FOR WVC2300: On the WVC2300 camera, the Ethernet cable should only be
connected or disconnected when the camera is powered OFF. Attaching or
detaching the Ethernet cable while the camera is powered on does NOT switch the
interface between wired and wireless. In order to switch from wired to wireless or
vice versa, the power needs to be disconnected and reconnected to change from
one mode to the other. Disconnecting the Ethernet while power is on will merely
disconnect the camera from the network.
Activity LED
The Activity LED flashes when activity is detected on the Ethernet port.
PVC2300 PoE LED
This LED only functions on the PVC2300 camera. The LED has the following states:
• On—PoE connection is detected.
• Off—PoE connection is not detected.
On the back panel, the green LED is the PoE indicator and when on, indicates that
you have PoE power. If you plug in the power supply, this LED will not light up.
Another good indicator is if you happen to plug in both the PoE and regular power
supply, if the green LED is on, this indicates you have PoE power and if not, it
indicates you have lost power from your PoE switch.
