 The NU Series features a "Plug and Play" function with a PoE Switch.
 The “Plug and Play” functionality requires the IP Camera to be in DHCP mode.
 The NU automatically assigns an IP Address to the IP Camera. (10.20.30.11 ~ 10.20.30.254)
 The NU models will automatically map the camera on the PoE Port to the corresponding NVR
channel number.
 The NU PoE Port maximum power consumption [N8NU – 110Watt, N16NU – 185W]

Figure 2.5.1.2. Incorrect connection with the PoE Ports
With the NU Models, it is prohibited to connect a router to the POE Ports to connect the IP Camera,
the NU will not be able to find and connect to the camera. The LAN Port can be connected to a
router, but not the PoE Ports.
