Clients overview

Overview and specifications of the ReadyLinks IPC client series, including features, models, default configuration, physical specifications and LED status meanings.

ReadyLinks IPC access switches provide Layer 2 access switching, ideal for enterprise, hospitality, ISP, and IP surveillance networks. The IPC series features a variety of form factors and PoE capabilities to meet the diverse needs of these applications. With 6 different models, capable of providing PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ power over any cable, including coax and phoneline, the IPC line is fully ready to support future network infrastructure deployments across a variety of different environments.

#Models

The IPC series includes six models in three families. The IPC clients guide compares cable medium, ReadyLink ports, 1GbE RJ45 ports, PoE options and applications for every model.

IPC-2TCP-RPF series

IPC-2TCP and IPC-2TCP-RPF, with a RJ45 / Coax (F) combo ReadyLink port and two 1GbE RJ45 ports.

IPC-1 series

IPC-1T (RJ45) and IPC-1C (Coax F), each with one 1GbE RJ45 port.

IPC-4S series

IPC-4STP (Phoenix) and IPC-4SBNC (BNC), each with one 1GbE RJ45 port.

#Configuration

By default, the IPC acts as a transparent bridge, simply passing traffic to and from the connected ReadyLink switchport. However, each IPC is capable of advanced switching capabilities such as VLAN tagging, IGMP snooping, rate limits, etc.

#LEDs

The IPC switch uses LEDs to inform the user of the device's status. While the device powers on, all the LEDs will flash indicating the device is booting up.

Function	LED status	Meaning
PWR	🟢 Green	The device is powered on.
	◯ Off	The device is powered off.
RPF	🟠 Orange	The IPC is providing reverse power.
	🟠◯ Blinking	The IPC is failing to provide reverse power. Check out the wiring instructions for some troubleshooting tips.
	◯ Off	The IPC is not providing reverse power.
Ethernet (GE)	🟡 Yellow	10Mb link
	🟢 Green	1Gb link
	◯ Off	No link
ReadyLink Port (RL)	🟢 Green	A data link has been established.
	🟢◯ Blinking	There is an unstable data link.
