4.4 Connection of the Ethernet
cable
The Ethernet cable shield must always be
earthed via the connector. Always use a
shielded RJ45 connector.
4.4.1 Connection of the Ethernet cable
(version of the product not cabled)
Use of Ethernet cables with the following
characteristics is highly recommended:
• STP (shielded)
• Category 5E (or higher)
For further information refer to the relative chapter (
4.3.1.2 Connection of the power supply line (PoE+),
page 7).
4.4.2 Connection of the Ethernet cable
(cabled version of the product)

supply.
To switch off the unit disconnect the power.
6 Configuration
6.1 Default IP address
Switch
The IP address acquired via DHCP is visible in the
DHCP server log file.
If the DHCP server is not available, the unit
automatically configures itself with a self-generated
IP address in the 169.254.x.x/16 subnet. Configuring
the IP address of the PC as belonging to the same
subnet (example: IP address: 169.254.1.1, subnet
mask: 255.255.0.0).
Use an ONVIF compliant VMS or a network sniffer to
find the IP address of the device (IP scan utility).
Make sure that the unit and other
components of the installation are closed
so that it is impossible to come into contact
with live parts.
Make sure that all parts are fastened down
firmly and safely.
The automatic pre-heating (De-Ice) process
could be started whenever the device is
switched on and the ambient temperature
is below -10°C (+14°F). The procedure is
necessary to guarantee correct operation of
the devices even at low temperatures. Pre-
heating procedure length: 60 minutes.
The unit is configured to obtain an IP
address from a DHCP server.
