CLEER Switch – Quick Install Guide
3
1. Remove the CLEER24 switch and all accompanying accessories.
2. Install the rackmount brackets for rack mounting. Unit fits in standard 19” racks
3. Install the protective grounding conductor (please refer to the System Grounding section of this
guide).
4. Remove all legacy cameras from the Coax cable.
Note: It is extremely important that non-IP, non-PoE cameras are not connected when you
power on the CLEER24.
5. Connect an EC-Link to the Network jack on the IP endpoint and connect the BNC Jack on the
EC-Link to the Coax cable.
6. Connect the Coax cable to BNC connectors on the CLEER24 switch.
7. Connect the uplink cable from a Gigabit port to the IP PBX or network switch.
Note: This connection also permits inband management over Ethernet.
8. For power share, daisy chain CLEER24 switches using DC cables (see below).
9. Power up the CLEER24.
10. For troubleshooting, please refer to the Hardware Installation Guide located at
www.phybridge.com.
11. To revert back to factory defaults, hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds.
Power Capabilities and Considerations
CLEER24 switches come standard with hot swappable PowerWise power supply, for power/load
sharing. The switch will support either AC or DC power source.
The switches are amongst the lowest power consuming switches in the industry.
For a redundant power configuration, daisy-chain multiple CLEER24 switches:
You can connect up to a max. of 4 units for power/load sharing.
•
Mount all CLEER24 switches in the same equipment rack, with no
more than 1U space between any two units.
Note: You can daisy-chain the units together while they are up and
running or power them up afterward.
•
Facing the rear of the units, install the DC cables (available through
Phybridge) as follows:
Note: To fit properly, the DC cable must be inserted into the DC
input/output connector with its hairpin clip on top.
•
For the top unit, insert the first cable into the DC input connector on
the left until it clicks into place. Bring the other end of the cable down
to the next unit, and connect to the DC output connector on the right.
•
Continue in the same way for each pair of units, connecting the DC
input (left) connector on the upper unit to the DC output (right)
connector on the lower unit.
Important: For the bottom unit, the last cable from the DC input (left)
connector goes up to the DC output (right) connector on the top unit.
This is required to create a fully redundant ring.
