camera:

 

 

 

With the screws on the terminal block facing down,

 

 

 

put the positive wire into the slot at the right rear of

 

 

 

the terminal block and put the negative wire into the

 

 

 

slot on the left. (On the Cisco power adapter, the

 

 

 

positive wire has a white stripe and the negative wire

 

 

 

has no stripe.)

 

 

 

Use a small flat-head screwdriver to tighten the

 

 

 

screws on the bottom of the terminal block so that the

 

 

 

power adapter wires are attached securely.

 

 

 

Note The power adapter may include an attached

 

 

 

terminal block that does not fit the IP camera. If

 

 

 

so, remove that terminal block and replace it with

 

 

 

the one that is provided with the IP camera.

 

 

 

Next, plug the terminal block into the power input port on

 

 

 

back of the IP camera. The terminal block fits into the

 

 

 

input port in one way. Make sure that the tabs on the

 

 

 

terminal block face the bottom of the IP camera.

 

 

 

Finally, plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.

 

 

 

The IP camera powers up.
