5.1.1 Power-over-Ethernet

Ethernet ports 1 and 2 can provide power to PoE devices using the IEEE 802.3af/at standard.

5.1.2 Trigger-over-Ethernet

The ToE feature adds support for the GigE Vision Action Command on Ethernet ports 1 and 2. It
can be used to trigger cameras over Ethernet in real time. The GigE specification allows sending
these messages by a different device, distinct from the primary application, which normally runs
on the main CPU. A sideband interface allows the Real-Time Communication Controller to intro-
duce packets into the network:
Two different Action Commands can be defined by the application. Please note that Action Com-
mands don't belong to any port. All Action Commands are broadcast on all four ports.
