Setting up an Axis network camera

Somat XR offers camera input channels through the use of Axis network cameras with the EX23-R PoE Switch.

Use a 1-KAB2107 cable to connect the CX23-R ETHERNET1 connector to an open port on the EX23-R Switch. Connect the EX23-R and CX23-R modules to a power supply. Then use a 1-KAB2106 cable to connect the Axis Ethernet port to one of the EX23-R PoE ports (6-10).

Verify that the camera is detected on the network by opening the CX23-R web interface and navigating to the Hardware page of the Test Configuration section. Click on the Axis camera entry under the CX23-R module to display the camera properties including a still frame capture of the video. Click Refresh to recapture the frame image.
