c. Check power adapter connection to PoE power sourcing equipment (if S1 in down position).
d. If using PoE, check PD classification settings against PSE rating. Adjust J41/J42 settings as
needed (see Table 5).
A new IP address might have been assigned to the DC2228A by the DHCP server. In the Control Tool,
run Master settings → Find to confirm the address. Refer to the Normal Configuration for Network
Connection using DHCP section for details.
