Using a PoE Switch with ENVR Application Note
Notice
Please follow the steps below when adding cameras using an external PoE
switch. Do NOT connect all the camera devices at the same time. Please refer to
the steps below for the procedure to use a PoE switch with ENVR.
Introduction
The ENVR factory default IP address is 192.168.1.108 and the IP camera’s factory default IP
addresses are also 192.168.1.108. The NVR will automatically provide the IP addresses for the
IP cameras that are connected directly to the ENVR through the built-in PoE switch. In this case,
no additional configuration is required.
Note 4-channel units have 4 built-in PoE ports and 8-channel units have 8 built-in PoE ports
so additional PoE ports are unnecessary for these units. Typically this procedure will only
be needed on 16-channel units (which have 8 built-in PoE ports), as some installation
scenarios will require an external PoE switch to connect the additional 8 cameras that
cannot be connected through the 8 built-in PoE ports.
However, for the IP cameras that are connected to the ENVR through the external PoE
switch, the camera IP addresses must be added manually. Please ensure that the
manually added IP addresses have the same segments (192.168.1.***) as the NVR IP
address. Refer to the screen shot examples in the following sections for a guide. The
following Connection Instructions (see page 2) are for cameras that are connected
through the external PoE switch.

Connecting IP Cameras through a PoE Switch
Step 1: Modifying the ENVR IP Address
1.
2.
Right-click anywhere on the GUI and select Main Menu from the list of options.

Note
Figure 5
The reason for modifying the ENVR IP address is to avoid any IP conflicts with the
IP cameras.

Step 2: Adding Remote Devices
1.
Go back to the Main Menu and select REMOTE DEVICE (see Figure 7).
Figure 6
Open Remote Device Page
CAUTION
Performing step 2 through step 7 in this section
carefully and in the proper sequence is very important to getting the IP
cameras connected and configured. After connecting the PoE switch to
the NVR, the IP cameras should be connected ONE BY ONE to minimize
and avoid any IP conflicts. Wait for the first IP camera to be connected
and configured before connecting the next camera.
2.
Connect the PoE switch to the ENVR’s LAN port (see Figure 1).
3.
Connect the first IP camera to the PoE switch.
4.
Click the Pencil icon (
) to edit the camera settings for one of the connected cameras.

Repeat step 2 to step 7 for every camera you are connecting. Make sure to do the full
procedure for each camera, one at a time until they are all added and have had their IP
addresses modified.

When all of the IP cameras are connected and configured, you will have a Remote Device
list similar to Figure 12.

Step 3: Adding a Device
There are two ways to add the devices in the list (Figure 12) to the ENVR:
•
Method 1: Double-Click to Add, page 6, to add devices by double-clicking them in the list.
•
Method 2: Adding a Device Manually, page 6, to add devices using the Manual Add
button.

Method 1: Double-Click to Add
1.
Select the device to add from the upper list on the REMOTE DEVICE screen (see
Figure 12).
2.
Double-click the device to add it to the Added Devices list (lower list) on the REMOTE
DEVICE screen (see Figure 13).
Figure 13
Double-Click a Device in the List
3.
The added camera will populate in the Added Device list.
4.
The camera status will change from red to green when the camera is successfully added
(see Figure 14).

Method 2: Adding a Device Manually
1.
Select the device to add from the upper list on the REMOTE DEVICE screen (see
Figure 12) and click Manual Add. The Manual Add screen opens (see Figure 15).
2.
Enter the IP Address, User name and Password of the camera to add in the fields
(Figure 15).

Installation Notes
Keep follow the advice in these installation notes while performing the installation procedures in
this document:
1.
The internal PoE ports on the ENVR units will automatically configure IP addresses when
cameras are plugged in. 4-channel units have 4 built-in PoE ports and 8-channel units
have 8 built-in PoE ports so additional PoE ports are unnecessary for these units. Typically
this procedure will only be needed on 16-channel units (which have 8 built-in PoE ports),
as some installation scenarios will require an external PoE switch for the additional 8
cameras that cannot be connected through the 8 built-in PoE ports. 16-channel units, such
as HEN16131 and HEN16161, only support 8 built-in PoE ports which can only cover half
of the 16 channels for those units. For this reason an external PoE switch may be the best
option.
2.
ADI carries a wide range of PoE switches. The Luxul XMS-1010P supports 8 full PoE ports
plus the addition of two extra network ports. This convenient feature will allow you to
connect the NVR network port and the Local network connection into a router or cable
modem. The Luxul PoE switches are looking for the following open ports on your NVR by
default: 37777, 554 and 80.
3.
You have two options (a and b, below) for configuring IP cameras on an external PoE
switch. The cameras need to be in the same IP range as the NVR, and not in the built-in
PoE default 10.1.1.*** range.
a.
Configure the IP cameras directly off of the Remote Device screen from the Main
Menu of the NVR.
When using the Remote Device screen from the Main Menu of the NVR, the Remote
Device page is divided into two panels, top and bottom. On the top panel, click IP
Search to discover all of the connected cameras. Only pay attention to the cameras
that have a Device ID, as several streams will appear from each camera. Click the
Show Filter drop-down arrow and select Camera Type to show the stream that you
want. Select the Edit check boxes for the cameras marked for ports 1-8 (which are
connected through the built-in PoE) and click Add. Cameras showing Port 37777
are connected through the external PoE switch. Click the Edit pencil icon (
) for
each externally connected camera to edit the IP Address and Gateway values for
those cameras. Change the Gateway address to match the NVR Gateway as seen on
the Network setup screen. Give the cameras an IP range to match the range of the
NVR. In most cases you will use the same IP address of the NVR and only change the
last number for each camera to make it a unique IP address. Check with your IT
administrator to confirm that they are satisfied with the range you have chosen.
b.
Configure the IP cameras using the Honeywell Configtool that comes on the DVD
provided with the Honeywell IP cameras.
When you are using the Honeywell Configtool from a PC connected to the same
network as the NVR, the PC and NVR must be in the same IP range as well. The
Configtool should be very similar to users that have used other IP camera
configuration tools in the past. Things to Note:
www.honeywell.com/security
•
Only the NVR and external PoE cameras will be detected by the Configtool.
•
By clicking the Gear icon for each camera setup will change the camera to an IP
range that matches the NVR IP address.
•
You must change the Gateway field to match the NVR’s gateway (as seen in the
Network screen) or it will prompt you with an error when you click Modify.
•
Once all of the cameras have been modified, go to the NVR’s Remote Device
screen, do an IP Search and follow the rest of the instruction in step a, above.
