Page 4: Safety Information
Product Introduction VARIO2 IP PoE is a Network Illuminator designed to connect to a suitable network and is provided with an integrated Web Interface. The Raytec DiscoMan Tool allows for easy identification and connection to the illuminator or you can connect directly to the illuminator via its IP address.
Page 5 External Input (to act as a telemetry, trigger input, volt free or TTL) and an External Output (volt free output). It also benefits from Raytec’s interchangeable lens system so that the correct angle of illumination can always be achieved easily.
Page 6: Basic Steps
STEP 3: Physical Installation (Pg. 11-12) Adjust interchangeable lens if required. Fix to wall, pole or camera unit using U bracket provided or other Raytec bracketry. IMPORTANT: Ensure illuminator is rated to provide required viewing distances and select correct angle Ensure illuminator is orientated in the correct direction raytecled.com...
Page 7 STEP 4: Change IP address and connect to the illuminator (Pg. 13) We recommend the easiest and fastest way to identify and connect to illuminators is using the Raytec DiscoMan Tool where the IP address can be altered IMPORTANT: We recommend Raytec DiscoMan Tool as the easiest way to establish communication.

• Installers can extend or reduce cable length using appropriate cable and weatherproof connector To maintain the IP rating of the product, any cable not in use must be waterproofed and terminated appropriately. raytecled.com Raytec Global Tel: +44 (0) 1670 520055 Americas Tel: +1 613 270 9990...
Page 13: Connecting To The Network
OPTION 1: Raytec DiscoMan Tool We recommend the easiest and fastest way to identify and connect to illuminators is using the Raytec DiscoMan Tool where the IP address can be altered (DHCP enabled as standard). Using the Raytec DiscoMan Tool avoids the need to have the computer and illuminator in the same network range to alter the IP address and allows multiple lamps to be setup at once.
Page 14: Raytec Discoman Tool Basics
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 DiscoMan Tool to find it. But it does require a valid IP address for connection and communication.
Page 15: Hierarchy Of Photocell Vs. Telemetry
The Raytec DiscoMan Tool allows you to: • Discover all illuminators on the network – illuminators do not need a valid IP address to be discovered • Alter IP address of illuminators – the illuminators must have a valid IP address to allow communication •...
Page 16: Log-In, Security & Basic Illuminator Setup
Override is only available when the illuminator mode is set to 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.

The certificate and private key files must be in .der format. Raytec VARIO2 IPPoE illuminators use ECDSA encryption with 256-bit keys, uploading certificate and private key files that are incompatible with this will lead to errors. We highly recommend that you use the DiscoMan Tool to upload certificates to the lamp as this takes care of the file format and allows you to update multiple lamps at the same time.
