PoE

PoE Norms: IEEE 802.3af / IEEE 802.3at

PoE Class 0

The environment has a direct impact on the BLUEnet range radiation (metal, concrete walls…)
The receiver device must be located facing the product antenna. Please check your product’s BLUEnet antenna position.
Recommended connectivity distance: 10m – 15m

Configuration

The device is configured using the Nebula App.
Ethernet test: without any type of setup, the IQ3 is a DHCP-ready device. If your network supports it, it is possible to check the Ethernet connectivity by pinging the address SALTO-IQ3-XXXXXX(XXXXXX corresponds to the final 6 digits of MAC).
