AXIS Q6044-C PTZ Dome Network Camera

Hardware Overview

Network slot SFP (external) - Two SFP slots (100Base-FX/1000Base-X) for network connectivity.

Each RJ45 and SFP port has its own dip switch. The dip switches control how the port forwards data. See Network Connector Dip Switches.

Dip switch position		Description of use
Default (middle)	B	When connecting to the network, directly or through a router or network
		switch.
Left	A	When connecting to a camera or a device that is not intended for viewing
		data.
Right	C	When connecting to another media converter switch.

Network connector (internal) - Two 2-pin Ethernet terminal blocks.

I/O connector (external) - 6-pin configurable I/O terminal block, which is connected to the camera through the multi-connector cable. Use with external devices in combination with, for example, tampering alarms, motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording and alarm notifications. In addition to the 0 V DC reference point and power (DC output), the I/O connector provides the interface to:

•Digital output – For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface, output buttons on the Live View page or by an Action Rule. The output will show as active (shown under System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status) if the alarm device is activated.

•Digital input – An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the state changes and the input becomes active (shown under System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status).

I/O connector (internal) - 2–pin I/O terminal block.

Important

Always use the default dip switch setting (position B) if the relationship between devices in the system is not defined.

The camera attaches a particular VLAN tag to all its forwarded multicast packages. The media converter switch manages how these multicast packages are forwarded between cameras, media converter switches and other network devices. This especially useful when connecting the camera and media converter switch to the network in a daisy chain.

By changing the position of the dip switches, each network connector port in the media converter switch can be configured to manage multicasts in three different ways.
