cameras only
This section describes the installation procedures for the Ethernet Switch Module which is
required for flatbeds with more than one IP camera on the moving bed. It connects to the Coiled
Ethernet Cable Kit to receive the PoE power and signals from the MDVR. It has output cables
for each IP camera on the bed which should be connected using Ethernet Exterior Connectors.

Installation Steps
1) Start by moving the bed back about 6’ and tilting the front of the bed up about 3’ from
the chassis. Locate the output connector of the Coiled Ethernet Cable Kit.
2) Find a suitable location within 1M of the connector under the bed to mount the module
and cables. The location should be free of any interference from any moving parts or
when the bed is moved from stowed to the extended positions. The side with the single
wire is generally the input from the Coiled Ethernet Cable. The side with multiple cables
are to connect to the cameras. There is no restriction on which cable to use for which
camera, just select the appropriate length cable to reach the intended camera.
3) Mount the box to the underside of the bed with two bolts, lockwashers and nuts.
4) Connect the 1M Ethernet cable to the Coiled Ethernet Cable using the existing watertight
Ethernet connector.
