Introduction

The MobileView Network Switch (MVNS) 3200 is a cost-effective, 
unmanaged network switch optimized for use with IP based video 
recording systems. The switch is available in 8 or 16 port models 
each having two Gigabit uplink ports and 48VDC PoE fast 
Ethernet downlink ports. The construction is rugged and features 
a simplified status interface, integrated cable management, 
passive cooling, and maximized functions necessary for remote 
installation in challenging vehicular environments.

MVNS-3200 Functionality

The MVNS-3200 provides connectivity for up to 8 or 16 IP 
cameras with compatible MobileView network video recorders.

Ports

The MVNS-3200 has uplink and downlink ports providing 
connectivity between the recorder and other network devices.

1.

Uplink Port: Dual 1GB Ethernet ports are provided. While 
both ports are general purpose, the one labeled NVR is 
intended for connection to the network video recorder and the 
other for connection to a second switch or other network 
device.

2.

Downlink Port: Depending on model, up to 8 or 16 Fast 
Ethernet downlink ports are available. While available for 
connection to any network device, these ports are optimized 
for connection to MobileView IP cameras. Ports include PoE 
capability.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Downlink ports include PoE for connection to powered IP devices. 

Available power is optimized for MobileView IP cameras. Each set 

of 8 downlink ports has a maximum of 51 watts available to split 
across all ports (target = 6.375W) with each individually limited to 
25.5 watts. If either limit is exceeded, the switch will trigger a fault 
and ports may not function properly. The switch automatically 
reverts to normal operation once power levels come within the 
specified limits.

Camera IP Auto-Assignment

The MVNS-3200 is optimized for connection to MobileView IP 
cameras with an expected uplink connection to MobileView 
network video recorders. By default, the switch detects 
compatible IP cameras and automatically assigns each a unique 
IP addresses according to the downlink port ID. Address 
assignment follows this scheme:

Port 1 = 192.168.1.101
Port 2 = 192.168.1.102
Port 3 = 192.168.1.103
Port XX = 192.168.1.1XX

The auto assignment function is enabled by default. It can be 
disabled in the switch configuration.

Configuration

The MVNS-3200 implements limited configuration using a built-in 
web server at the fixed IP address 192.168.1.64. Available 
options include firmware update, camera IP auto-assignment, and 
logout user. Future firmware may enable new or expanded 
features and controls.

Caution:

Configuration changes are effective immediately.
