Introduction VARIO IP PoE is a Network Illuminator designed to connect to any suitable network and is provided with an integrated Web Interface. The product is delivered with a Discovery Tool Application for easy identification and connection to the lamp on the network. You can also connect directly to the lamp by typing its IP address into a web browser. An API is also available for easy integration within a VMS environment. The lamp has Operator and Administrator log-on and access rights.
The lamp does NOT have DHCP enabled to auto allocate IP addresses - but you can activate that from the Discovery Tool. This is likely to be the easiest and fastest way to allocate a new IP address, provided that your network is DHCP enabled. The lamp responds to multicast messages - and therefore does not need to have a valid IP address for the Discovery Tool to find it. But it does require a valid IP address for communication. To change the IP address so you can communicate with the lamp you can either: 1.
Hierarchy of Photocell Vs Telemetry If the telemetry function is enabled, then the photocell must detect that is it dark for the telemetry function to operate. The photocell overrides the telemetry function during the day. If the external input/telemetry function needs to be operated 24/7, then the photocell function should be disabled from the settings/groups page.
Factory Defaults Name VARIOIP Group Name IP Address 192.168.2.80 Enable DHCP Checkbox Not Selected – IP addresses will NOT be automatically allocated. If lamp is being operated on a DHCP enabled network, DHCP can be selected for automatic allocation of IP address. selected to enable operation of lamp using integrated web interface. If lamp is to be operated using VMS or other control system then this option should NOT be selected.
Connecting to the Network Basic Assign an IP Address Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to connected devices. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the VARIO IP Lamp will use 192.168.2.80 as the default IP address. Raytec’s Discovery Application is the recommended method for changing an IP address. This free application is available on the USB Memory Stick supplied with the product or please contact Raytec to supply the latest version.
Change the Name and Group Name See the lamps status See lamp details including Names, Firmware version, Time lamp has been powered etc To be able to do this communications with the lamp is needed. On the image shown above two lamps have been discovered on the network. They are unique in that they have different MAC addresses, but the same IP Address and Unit Name. The application allows the lamps now to be configured.
Static Network Configuration – Manual allocation of IP address To use static network configuration it is important that the network administrator controls and ensures the IP Addresses issued are unique and not repeated. Enter the appropriate IP Address and Subnet Mask in the “Use the following IP address” section and press “OK”. The unit will now be allocated the IP Address as entered. Refresh the Discovery Application by pressing “Discover”.
After the change has been made save the edited names by pressing “OK”. The selected unit name and group has now been changed. Refresh the Discovery Application by pressing “Discover” and the updated information should be displayed. Lamp Status The Discovery Application has two status indicators for each lamp.
Unit Details – Parameters Selecting the Parameters button within the Unit Details screen provides a high level of detailed information regarding the performance and operation of the lamp. This is designed to be used during detailed diagnostics of the lamp with Raytec or your supplier. www.rayteccctv.

NETWORK This page allows the configuration of the lamp’s network settings and to create a name for individual lamps MAC Address is a unique identifier and cannot be changed Lamp Name Avoid duplicates Max number of characters is 15– alpha/numeric IP Address We recommend selecting DHCP if your network is compatible and then IP addresses will be allocated automatically without creating duplicates. Otherwise, change to IP address into suitable range for your network.
Network - IP address changed- Reboot After a network change the system will reboot to ensure all the changes have been applied. The Reboot Screen is shown to instruct the user on how to access the lamp after the new network settings have been applied. Warning: We strongly recommend that IP addresses are changed via the Discovery Application Tool. This is the safest way to ensure that connection is not last with the lamp by setting up an invalid IP address.
