1.Introduction
The POE Receiver, integrating Power over Ethernet into the design, features wireless radio
and input/output connections. The POE Received can be applied to capture wireless RF
signal in the air and report these signals to the connected Servia via IP reporting. In addition,
the built-in I/O terminals can be further programmed to act on certain triggers.

3.3. RF Sniffer
RF Sniffer: RF Sniffer is designed for the Receiver to report to programmed destination
when it receives a signal from an RF device.
Sniffer Report Destination: Enter a report destination, 3 Report Indexes are available for
setting. If there are multiple Report Indexes programmed:
The POE Receiver will report according to the order (e.g. 1 > 2 > 3, etc.) of the
Report Indexes. Report will stop when one report is successful.
If all reporting failed at the first cycle, the POE Receiver will wait for 5 seconds to
retry reporting to all Report Indexes again. A total of 6 retries will be done (or until
one of the reports is successful). If all the retries fail, the POE Receiver will regard
reporting unsuccessful. From the example above, suppose all report failed, the
report sequence would be:
If 1 reporting destination is programmed:
1 > wait for 5 seconds > 1 > wait for 5 seconds > 1 > wait for 5 seconds >
1 > wait for 5 seconds > 1 > wait for 5 seconds > 1 > Stop reporting whether
succeeded or not
If 2 reporting destinations are programmed:
1 > 2 > wait for 5 seconds > 1 > 2 > wait for 5 seconds >
1 > 2 > Stop reporting whether succeeded or not

8
If 3 reporting destinations are programmed:
1 > 2 > 3 > pause for 5 seconds 1 > 2 > 3 > Stops reporting whether succeeded or
not
When the Receiver is making report, the RF Sniffer Red LED will turn ON.
When turned ON. The Receiver will report every signal received. Enter the report
destination in following format: Account@server:port.
When turned OFF. The Receiver will not report any signal received.
Auto Check-in: This is for you to set the interval time the Control Panel waits before making a
regular check-in report.
Interval: Set the interval waiting time.
Offset Period: This is to set the time delay before the first “Auto Check-in Report” report
to be made. For example, if “Offset” time period is set to 60 minutes, then the Control
Panel will make the first “Auto Check-in Report” report after 60 minutes.
RF Attenuation: RF Attenuation is used to adjust the Receiver’s RF receiving range by
changing attenuation setting to adjust RF receiver sensitivity.
After finish all settings, click “Submit”to confirm.
3.4. SR Program
The Simple Remote Program setting page provides configuration for server connection to
perform remote programming via the server.
SRP: Choose to turn ON or OFF the remote programming function.
SRP Server URL: Enter the server connection setting in format of server:port.
After finish all settings, click “Submit”to confirm.

3.5. Network
Click on the “Network”selection for Network settings.
Select “On”or “Off”for the DHCP setting.
DHCP “On”: Select “On”if a DHCP server is present to enable settings to be
automatically assigned from the server. If you select “On,”you can skip the “IP
Address,”“Subnet Mask,”“Default Gateway”and “Default DNS”settings. These
settings will be automatically assigned. Click “Submit”directly after you have selected
“On”for the DHCP setting.
DHCP “Off”: Select “Off”if a DHCP server is not available. If you select “Off,”you will
have to configure the following “IP Address,”“Subnet Mask,”“Default Gateway”and
“Default DNS”settings. Click “Submit”after you have configured these settings.
SNTP and Interval: This link will automatically correct and update the real-time system
in your Control Panel and enable the Control Panel to keep track of the current time.
The updates will take place periodically according to the “Interval”setting. It is
recommended that you do not change the website setting of SNTP unless you know a
website that can enable your Control Panel to keep track of your current local time.

POE Receiver now supports DHCP 0ption 42. Once the correct SNTP IP is

10
obtained from the DHCP server, the SNTP setting will be automatically overwritten.
The new SNTP link will automatically connect to acquire the Date and Time from the
SNTP Server. If connection fails, it will continuously retry (according to the intervals
1min->1min->5min…..) until Date and Time are successfully retrieved. Once SNTP
connection is successful, the Date and Time updates will take place periodically
according to the “Interval” setting.
Click on the “Submit”button to confirm any changes to the configuration.
