Power Over Ethernet; Computing Environment With Tools And Solutions - quanergy M8 User Manual

Power over Ethernet

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a single cable solution for both communication and power.
The M8 sensor has been operated 100 meters from a power source using IEEE 802.3at
(PoE+) compliant PoE source and splitter. The PoE source injects DC power into a CAT5/6
cable. A PoE splitter is used to extract power from the cable.
Proper M8 sensor operation with PoE requires IEEE 802.3at compliant equipment.
The following PoE splitters have been used to provide 24 VDC power and an Ethernet
connection for an M8 sensor at the end of a 100 meter CAT5/6 cable.
• Planet Technology POE-162S (commercial grade)
• Planet Technology IPOE-162S (industrial grade)

Computing Environment with Tools and Solutions

All software tools and solutions provided by Quanergy are designed for x86-64 architec-
ture on the host computer to adequately enable all or some of the following functionality:
• Discovery and management of the sensor.
• Collection, recording, playback, and visualization of the sensor's data.
• Calibration of multiple sensors mapping the same scene.
The M8 sensor works well with several specific computing environments, as follows.
Simple and Intuitive: No configuration required. Q-View™ is Quanergy's proprietary
software-based sensor discovery and management toolkit that enables users to easily
visualize a point cloud and calibrate pairs of sensors. Refer to the following documents:
Q-View User Guide (https://quanergy.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2717074) and the
Q-View Quick Start Card (https://quanergy.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2748632).
Customized: User-preferred configuration required. For users who need to create their
own custom solutions and environments, Quanergy offers a software development kit
(SDK). Depending on how the sensor was acquired, you may need to purchase and/or
request access to the SDK by emailing your GitHub username to support@quanergy.com
with the subject "Request M8 SDK source code." Refer to user guides:
• Sensor SDK User Guide for Ubuntu — Quanergy fully supports the open source Ubuntu®
14.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS operating system running natively or virtually via VMware or
Oracle VM VirtualBox. https://quanergy.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2688864
• Sensor SDK User Guide for Windows — Although Ubuntu is the operating system of choice,
the M8 sensor is also compatible with any operating system that is capable of
initiating a TCP connection with the sensor. In the Windows® 7 environment, users
can visualize a basic point cloud, but cannot immediately manipulate it beyond
rotating and zooming unless they write their own software solutions.
