Setting up an Axis network camera
The SomatXR/eDAQXR system 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 ETHERNET 1 or ETHERNET 2 connector to an open port on the EX23-R Switch. Use a 1-KAB2106 cable to connect the Axis Ethernet port to one of the EX23-R PoE ports (6-10).
Web interface
Verify the camera is detected on the network by opening the EXRCPU web interface and navigating to the Hardware page of the Test Configuration section.
Expand the desired module to find the camera channel entry. Click the eye icon () to open the preview window.
The Video channel preview shows the video stream from the selected camera channel.
Click Freeze to pause the video.
Click Rotate to rotate the video display counter-clockwise by degree increments supported by the video device. Please refer to video device manufacturer's documentation for video image rotation, which may be limited to 180 or 90 degree increments.
In Test configuration, a camera channel’s parameters may be edited in the Single channel editor. See Video display for viewing and controlling a video channel.

For best results or if issues exist with detecting the camera, reset the camera to factory defaults.
- Remove power from the camera.
- Press and hold the control button and reapply power to the camera by connecting it to an open EX23-R PoE port (6-10).
- After the camera status LED turns amber, release the control button.
- Wait for the camera status LED to turn green, which indicates that the camera has been reset. This may take up to two minutes.
NOTE
The location of the control button and LED status indicator depends on the camera model. For information on specific models, refer to the Axis documentation.
