B. System Diagram
Diagram 1.1
From PoE switch, the camera sensors only use port 1 to 4.
Port 5 is only for the modem/router, because port 5 has no Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Diagram 1.2
- For PoE Injector, only single sensors can be powered up and connected
Diagram 2
For certain outlets, the Switch will be installed inside the store room nearby the CCTV NVR.
The Internet from the Switch will be connected to the PoE Switch then to Modem/Router.
C. Troubleshoot
1. Check LED status of the camera/sensor
Make sure the LED is blinking green to confirm sensor is operating normally.
If it's blinking amber/orange, means there is issue with internet connectivity to sensor. Please check connection from modem/router to the switch/injector connected by the sensor.
If it's blinking red, means there is hardware issue. Require to reboot as first step troubleshooting, if issue still persist, contact Tapway support.
If possible, staff need to record a video of that sensor and send it to Tapway to verify actual issue
2. Check on the status of the PoE switch:
- Is the PoE Switch power on?
- Is the power adapter cable loose?
- Is the network cable connected correctly?
- Is any of the cable loose?
3. Check the connection of the system as shown in Diagram 1.1, 1.2 or 2. Make sure it is correct.
4. If the PoE LED is not showing lights at all, there are only two possibilities
The PoE switch has no power supply.
Make sure the power cables are connected correctly according to the diagram.
Make sure no loose cables.
