You can try something like this to run 2 cams over 1 cable (still uses two NVR/switch ports).

Do you have internet access? If so, and you want, install TeamViewer and PM me the ID/password and i'll remote in and figure out the Brocade IP and possibly get things running agian.

Disregard it for now. I apologize but i'm by no means an expert so i'm somewhat learning as we go myself... Depending on which firmware version the ICX has installed, the reset switch can either erase all settings or simply reboot the switch, apparently. I'm going to assume it reset things back...

I'm going to assume pressing reset changed everything back to default settings in which DHPC is not enabled nor is it assigned an IP. I think you're going to need a console cable. I'll research the out-of-band management port but i'm not 100% it'll help in this case. Does your PC get assigned an...

When did you press the reset button? When you first received the switch or after making adjustments and the cam stopped working? Are the fans much louder than usual? If you power cycle it, do the fans quiet down significantly after a few minutes or they never change?

First, change your BI network card to "obtain an IP address automatically" and then plug it directly to the switch. You should get an IP address which you can then determine the switches IP from. Let us know what happens.

I tried to get an idle reading on my ICX 6430-24P, turns out the load calculation on my UPS is quite off as it was showing around 100w idle. Then, i found out that a Kill-A-Watt really hates modified sine wave. I plugged it into my UPS running on battery and it got super hot, smelled burnt...

I had a long reply i been working on Hell of a project you have going on, impressive! I plan on running nothing but CAT5e, i really hope i don't run into a situation where i need CAT6+, it seems like a pain to work with!

This. If it's configured with default settings, all of the 1-24 ports will communicate with each other. Definitely not the management or console port. If it's not working, they may be on separate VLANs or something. You'll need a console cable to reset things or you may be able to do it from the...

I believe a mount is included in the box. Check out the installation guide

The pic looks looks like my near future! :headbang: Just curious, couldn't you isolate the devices via separate VLANs? Also, how are you handling multiple devices in one area and future-proofing for possible additional devices in the future? Something i been thinking about, i have some ethernet...

I'd also hate to see the combined usage of all the wall wart/power bricks i have plugged up, some without anything connected! There's definitely a future project coming to eliminate those.

Believe me, i stressed over which one to get for a while. In the end I went with the 24-port for lower idle draw, less heat generation, and less noise. If i ever run out of ports, i'll just get another one or whatever is equivalent, cheap, and available at the time. ;) Edit: I still need to run...

I went with the ICX 6430-24P with included rack mounting brackets, it was $109.08 total ($75 + $27.55 shipping + $6.53 tax). Looks like there's a handful of 48-port 6430-48p's for $95 shipped on ebay at the moment.

First and foremost, i'd like to thank @giomania for collecting and maintaining such an informative spreadsheet as well as all the contributors of the PoE Switch Suggestion list!. Until recently i didn't know very much about PoE switches or PoE standards in general. After extensively going down...
