Wiring The illuminator is supplied with a terminated CAT 5 cable with a waterproof Ethernet connector (supplied loose i.e. not fitted) and an auxiliary multi-core cable. Option 1 – Power via PoE Connect an Ethernet cable (category 5 or better) using the T-568B wiring standard between the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and the illuminator.

PoE Detection – Resistance Selection Switch There is a switch on the VAR2-IPPOE-hy8-1 and hy8-1-C illuminators which can be used to change the PoE detection resistance of the illuminator (24.9KΩ is the factory default setting). Turn the power to the illuminator OFF, remove the baseplate and access the switch as shown. The majority of PSE equipment requires a detection resistance of 24.9KΩ...

The illuminator responds to multicast messages - and therefore does not need to have a valid IP address in the same network range for the Raytec Discovery Tool to find it. But it does require a valid IP address for connection and communication. ALL IP addresses need to reside within the same network address range to ensure these components can communicate with each other.

Local, HTTP + Local or VMS + Local. To operate the illuminator via a VMS or third party application that uses the Raytec API, then the illuminator mode should be set to VMS or VMS + Local. In VMS mode the illuminator will ignore Photocell and External Input triggers and respond only to valid VMS commands.
Page 14
VMS integration allows the illuminator(s) to be directly controlled and triggered by events within the VMS environment such as scheduled events, alarm triggers, camera commands, etc. HTTP Integration allows the illuminator to be directly controlled and triggered on receipt of valid HTTP commands generated on the network from VMS, cameras or other components capable of generating HTTP commands.
