The NVT Model NV-ET1804 Four-Port PoE+ Transmitter is a
compact media converter that allows 10/100 BaseT Ethernet
and PoE, PoE+, or high-power PoE to be transmitted using
coax, UTP, or other cable. These devices are typically used
in legacy installations where existing coax or other wire is
redeployed as part of an upgrade to IP. 56VDC class 2 power
at one transceiver is distributed to multiple remote transmit-
ters, and their PoE cameras (or other devices).
These transceivers are extremely simple to use, with no IP or
MAC address configuration required. Status LEDs indicate
power, link quality, and link connectivity/activity for RJ45
and BNC ports.
The NV-ET1804 is backed by NVT’s award winning customer
support and limited lifetime warranty.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
FCC USER INFORMATION
Before installing, NVT recommends
downloading and reading the complete
installation manual from www.nvt.com.
Transceivers must be configured prior to use. See page 2.
Use one NV-ET1804 Transmitter at the remote (camera) end.
Multiple remote transceivers and cable runs may be
connected to the control room Receiver using any combina-
tion of star and daisy-chaining.
Data signals over the coax are capable of extended
distances, however voltage-drop in the 56V power distribu-
tion will often vary, depending on the camera’s current draw
and wire resistance.
56VDC power is typically supplied to the whole system by the
control-room transceiver, however power may also be
provided locally if desired.
WARNING: For safety, never use more than
two power supplies within a TBus channel. Never use
more than one 60 watt remote power supply on each
TBus channel.

The NV-ET1804 TBus transmitter delivers high bandwidth encrypted Ethernet signals over virtually any kind of wire (Coax, UTP, STP, Un-twisted wire, etc.).
To provide utmost signal integrity and security, the NV-ET1804 transceivers must be configured to communicate exclusively with other transceivers within their
TBus Network Group. This group typically consists of one or more remote Transmitters, typically
located at the IP camera and one Receiver, typically located at the
control-room. Transmitters may be the NV-ET1801 or NV-ET1804. The Receiver may be the NV-ET1801, NV-ER1804, NV-ER1808i, or NV-ER1816i.
Before functioning on the network, each NV-ET1804 must learn which other transceivers are to be part of that group. This simple process is called Joining.
It is recommended that transceivers in each Network Group be configured prior to deployment using these instructions:
Step One: Gather Materials
●All 1800 series Transceivers
●RJ45 patch-cord
●Small paper-clip, partially straightened
●Device labels
●IP Network Documentation Log
Step Two: Connect Hardware
●Remove and discard the “Configure Before Use” labels.
●Use an RJ45 patch to connect the TBus ports of two Transceivers.
CAUTION: Never connect the RJ45 TBus port to an RJ45 ethernet port.
●Apply power to one of the TBus devices.
●The blue POWER LED on each Transceiver will blink for 8 seconds and then go on.
●
After 20 seconds, verify that the green TBus Link LED on each transceiver is off.
If a TBus Link LED is on, the Transceiver has been previously joined.
Perform the un-joining process below before proceeding.
Step Three: Joining
●On Transceiver #1, using the straightened paper-clip, momentarily depress and release
the small JOIN push-button located on the front of the unit.
Its blue Power LED will begin blinking.
●Depress and release the same push-button on the Transceiver #2.
Its blue Power LED will begin blinking.
(The NV-ER1808i and NV-ER-1816i Receiver Hubs also have a web browser-based Join button.)
●Both Transceivers have now entered Join Mode.
They will find each other and establish encrypted communication.
In about 10 seconds, the blue Power LEDs on both Transceivers will return
to a steady on condition, and their green TBus Link LEDs will illuminate,
indicating a successful Join.
●One TBus Link LED will remain on solid. The other may wink with data.
Step Four: Adding Transceivers (if required)
●Disconnect Transceiver #1 and replace it with a new un-joined Transceiver.
●
Repeat steps two and three to add additional Transceivers to the same Network Group.
Step Five: Documentation
●Label the configured Transceivers with a unique Network Group ID of your choice.
This will help you identify them after they have been deployed.
●Record this Network Group information in your IP Network Documentation Log:
This log may include essential documentation which will help you identify all system devices during and after deployment.
The NV-ER1808i and NV-ER1816i have data entry fields for this purpose.
Un-Joining a Transceiver
If you need to move a Transceiver from one Network Group to another, it must first un-learn its
previous Network Group and be returned to an un-joined state. Do this by:
●Apply power.
●The blue POWER LED on each Transceiver will blink for 8 seconds and then go on.
●Using the straightened paper-clip, depress the small JOIN push-button until the blue Power LED goes off (about 13 seconds).
●Un-joining is now complete.
If you are not sure that un-joining has been successful, remove and then re-apply power, and repeat.
●Camera Number
●Camera Position/Location
●Camera Make & Model
●Camera MAC & IP Address
●Camera Login & Password
●Camera-end NVT Transceiver MAC Address
