Cable Connections Connecting External Power NOTE: Do not perform this procedure if Power over Ethernet (POE) is used. If PoE is not available, the encoder needs to be powered through the removable power connector block. Refer to the diagrams in this guide for the location of the power connector block.
Connecting to External Devices External devices are connected to the encoder through the I/O terminal. The pinout for the I/O terminal is shown in the following table and diagram. Table:External I/O Terminals Function Description 3.3 VDC 3.3 VDC output. May be used to power small @200 mA max relays in conjunction with the relay outputs.
Connecting Microphones and Speakers The encoder can be connected to up to four external microphones and speakers through the audio connectors. The audio connectors support input and output for line-level audio signals. The connector is a mini- jack (3.5mm). The pinout is shown in the following diagram. Audio input and output use the left and right audio connections normally used on a stereo audio device.
LED Indicators Once the encoder is connected to the network, the Connection Status LED will display the encoder’s progress in connecting to the Network Video Management software. The following table describes what the LEDs indicate: Table:LED Indicators Connection Connection Description State Status LED Obtaining IP...
