The NVT Model NV-ER1808i TBus Eight Port PoE+ Receiver Hub is a 1U 19 rackmountable bus-architected ethernet switch, that together with remote TBus transmitters, is
capable of supporting up to 32 10/100 BaseT Ethernet and PoE+ powered devices.
The TBus transmission medium can be coax, 2-wire/UTP, or Shielded Twisted-Pair. Data
rates up to 150 Mbps are achievable, making these devices the ideal choice in new or legacy
installations where existing cable is re-deployed as part of an upgrade to IP cameras.
An internal 250 watt 56 VDC power supply can be optionally augmented by an external 250
watt auxiliary power supply, supporting redundancy and/or higher power applications.
The NV-ER1808i is backed by NVTs award winning customer suooprt, limited lifetime warranty, and advance replacement. No IP or MAC addressing configuration is required, yet is
available for browser-based monitoring and control. This provides exceptional yet simple
configuration and diagnostics for the installer or remote monitoring facility. Status LEDs
indicate power, Ethernet/PoE, and TBus connectivity/activity.
* Distance and number of devices supported may be lower due to power supply capacity and wire voltage-drop. See Wire Distance
Charts on page 8. Aggregate TBus bandwidth is dynamically allocated (shared based on traffic), and decreases with wire distance. See
Wire Distance Chart on page 9. Multicast requires an IGMP Querier, either in a network switch, or in the NV-ER1808i Receiver Hub. High

CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
The NV-ER1808i TBus receiver hub delivers high bandwidth encrypted Ethernet signals over virtually any kind of wire (Coax, UTP, STP, Un-twisted wire, etc.). To provide utmost signal integrity and security, the NV-ER1808i receiver must be configured to communicate exclusively with
other transceivers within their TBus Network Group. This group typically consists of one or more remote Transmitters, typically located at the
IP camera and one Receiver, typically located at the controlroom. Transmitters may be the NV-ET1801 or NV-ET1804. The Receiver may be the
NV-ET1801, NV-ER1804, NV-ER1808i, or NV-ER1816i.
Before functioning on the network, each NV-ER1808i must learn which other transceivers are to be part of that group. This simple
process is called Joining. It is recommended that transceivers in each Network Group be configured prior to deployment using these
instructions:

NV-ER1808i
Figure 1 - Typical Installation

Many installations that use the NV-ER1808i receiver hub involve
the replacement of an analog camera with an IP camera, while
reusing the installed cable to deliver the TBus signal. Since most
IP cameras support PoE (Power over Ethernet), the legacy 24VAC
distribution may no longer be needed.
Connect the TBus wiring from as many as eight TBus building

locations to the TBus BNC or RJ45 jack on the receiver.
Disconnect all analog equipment from the cable before

installing the IP equipment. The NV-ER1808i uses the cable to
deliver 56V DC. To prevent damage, never connect analog
cameras, analog control-room equipment, or ethernet equipment to a TBus port.
The blue Power LEDs will begin to blink on the NV-ER1808i as

well as all transmitters, indicating initalization. After 10 seconds,
the blue LEDs will go on solid, and the green LINK LED will go on
indicating that the device has established communication with
another TBus transceiver.
Transceiver Configuration
NVT TBus transceivers must be configured to communicate
exclusively with other transceivers within their Network
Group. This Joining configuration process is described on
page 3.
Check each channels power LED status. A correctly connected

load will cause the channels power status LED to be green.
Connecting the Camera End

Install the new IP cameras. Mount the TBus transmitter
(NV-ET1801 or NV-ET1804) nearby. Connect an RJ45 patch
cable between the network connector (PoE) of the camera and
an Ethernet RJ45 jack on the transmitter. Connect the TBus
building wiring to the TBus BNC or RJ45 jack on the transmitter.
For most installations, the IP cameras power will be low
enough, and the TBus distance short enough, so that the transmitter and its IP camera can receive power from the NV-ER1808i
at the head-end. In most cases, a power supply will not be needed
at the camera end. For additional details, see the distance chart
on page 8.
Connecting the Control-Room End
Install the NV-ER1808i receiver in a clean dry place, typically in
the control-room. Ambient temperature must be between -40
and +122F (-40 to +50C). Un-restricted airflow must be at
3
3
least 4 ft /minute (0.1m / minute).
For rack-mounting, attach the supplied mounting brackets to the
TBus Hub chassis using the supplied screws. Note that the
brackets allow the Hub to be mounted with either the front or
rear facing out.
Connect power cord and switch on the NV-ER1808i. This will

provide power to the entire system, including the cameras.
Connect an RJ45 patch-cord between the Ethernet RJ45 jack on

the NV-ER1808i and either: 1) an IP camera video input on a
Hybrid DVR, or 2) an Ethernet switch allocated for video.
Alternately, or in addition, insert an SFP module into the SFP slot,
and use this for your uplink, redundant, or daisy-chain backbone
connection. See application examples on pages 10 through 13.
For each connected uplink port, the green Ethernet LED will illuminate when the link is established, and will blink when data
traffic is present.
The NV-ER1808i has a browser-based Graphical User Interface,
which provides optional configuration, parameter monitoring,
and diagnostics. See page 15 for details.
Verify Camera End LEDs
Check the LEDs on the transmitter. The blue power LED should
be on. The green Link LED should also be on, indicating that the
transmitter is communicating with the NV-ER1808i. The Quality
LED should be green. An amber LED indicates a weak signal,
while a red LED indicates a poor signal.
For each camera connected, the transmitters green Ethernet
LED will illuminate when the Ethernet link is established, and will
blink when data traffic is present. If the camera is a PoE device,
the green PoE LED will also be on.

BUS ARCHITECTURE
NETWORKING CONSIDERATIONS
For IP-based CCTV applications, there are some network
configurations that are robust, and others that are not
recommended. In general, it is best to deploy a separate LAN
exclusively for video traffic. Although it is possible to place IP
cameras onto the end-users Enterprise LAN, there are
several disadvantages in doing so. These include:
Unlike point-to-point devices that require one device at each

end of every cable, TBus transceivers communicate using a
bus-architecture.
This means that multiple remote camera-end transmitters may
be connected together to one receiver at the control-room.
Wire may be star topology, daisy-chained, or any combination.
Traffic Management Considerations

When sharing the resources of a LAN, the nature of the traffic
must be well understood for it to operate efficiently. For most
end-users, the business use of their LAN is constantly changing, critical for their day-to-day operations, and not managed
by the same group that manages their security. IP video can
often consume large amounts of bandwidth, which may or
may not be compatible with existing IT traffic.
TBus supports virtually any type of wire, including coax, UTP,

STP, even un-twisted wire. And different wire types can be
concatenated together, as needed.
Coax cables are connected together using BNC splitters,
available from NVT, or elsewhere. If you purchase BNC T
connectors from another supplier, please purchase high quality
connectors. Low cost connectors have been found to have
intermittent shield connections.
UTP and STP wire may be
connected to either the
BNC or the RJ45,
whichever is convenient.
NV-BNCT
Security Considerations
Most surveillance systems are installed specifically to protect
against breaches in security. A shared LAN provides potential
opportunities for unauthorized access to security assets.
Sniffing IP addresses can result in the unintended disclosure of
IP cameras or network vulnerabilities. Spoofing IP addresses
could result in the disruption of recording.
NV-EC4BNC
NVT has screw-terminal

adaptors available for this
NV-BNCA
purpose. These adaptors
support up to four sets of wires, each up to 16AWG.
If you must pass IP camera video through public

LANs, NVT recommends that video be recorded prior to
leaving the secure LAN. Then encrypt it by using a
Virtual Private Network (VPN) so that neither the video,
nor its addressing is readable on the LAN. Many lowcost routers support VPNs.
NV-RJ45A
PoE CONSIDERATIONS
STREAMING PROTOCOL CONSIDERATIONS
In PoE parlance, the transmitter is known as Power Sourcing

Equipment (PSE). It is capable of supporting conventional ethernet, PoE, and PoE+, as well as high power devices up to 50
watts. As such, the transmitter can support an IP camera that
employs an ethernet powered P/T/Z/heater/blower.
Most IP cameras can support multiple video streams using various protocols. MJPEG and H.264 are the most common, and
can be transmmitted at various rates using unicast (pointto-point) or multicast (single source with multiple destinations).
Unlike conventional PoE, voltage-drop and load current must be

confirmed by the installer. For additional details, see the distance chart on page 8.
NVTs Class 2 current limiting ensures safety of the installation
during fault conditions, while delivering higher power with more
efficient allocation amongst loads. WARNING: For safety,
never use more than two power supplies within a TBus
channel. Never exceed 120 watts within a TBus channel.
Never use more than one 60 watt remote power supply
on each Hub-based TBus channel.
The NV-ER1808i supports aggregate bandwidths up to 150

Mbps, allowing many devices to operate smoothly on one TBus
network. The 150 Mbps bandwidth is dynamically allocated
amongst all devices on the TBus network, so care must be
taken to not exceed the bandwidth capabilities of the
transmission path.
Some protocols, such as TFTP, are particularly chatty, meaning
they generate a lot of acknowledgements that can easily clog a
network. NVT recommends simpler protocols for video transmission, such as RTP over UDP.
Although NVT transceivers may be connected to PoE-enabled

switch ports, they do not use PoE power from the switch, relying instead on their own higher current 56VDC power sources.

Figure 2 - IGMP Multicast Control

On rare occasions, a customer will experience a problem where
a camera sending unicast packets performs flawlessly, but the
TBus transceivers fail to deliver multicast streams.
Because the TBus devices are delivering data amongst each
other in a distributed bus architecture, they need to be told
where to send which multicast streams. The TBus transceivers
count on the switch(es) to deliver that information.
Sometimes switches have been configured in a way that
assumes the TBus transceivers are edge devices (such as PCs
or IP cameras). In the interest of saving bandwidth, they do not
forward the IGMP control information. Without knowledge of
any request for a multicast stream, the TBus transceivers dutifully block that traffic.
Switches and routers (and NVT devices) do not routinely deliver
multicast traffic to all destinations. That could overload the network. Instead they rely on a special control protocol to identify
and report which recipients (such as the VMS/NVR) are
requesting which multicast streams.
That protocol is called Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP).
How does IGMP Work?
A Querier control resource is implemented on one network
host, such as a switch or router. Virtually all routers and most
switches are equipped with this capability. If there are multiple
hosts, the one with the lowest IP address is elected to perform
this Querier function.
The Querier is responsible for sending IGMP Queries to the
entire network, typically once every three minutes. Any device,
such as the VMS/NVR, that wishes to receive a particular
multicast stream responds to this Query by generating an IGMP

Report that is sent in the direction of the camera. That Report
is monitored and passed on by switches and routers within the
network. That monitoring is called IGMP Snooping.
These switches and routers each keep their own Routing Table
and use it to determine which ports should and should not
receive each multicast stream. It would be inappropriate for the
switch to send a multicast stream everywhere, as it would clog
the network.
The TBus transceivers are not point-to-point devices. They join
together to function as a distributed switch. Like a switch, they
listen for IGMP Reports and block unknown multicast packets.
This is particularly important in a multi-camera environment, as
we do not want the stream from one camera being delivered to
all other cameras. That could generate too much traffic.
Switches and routers forward the IGMP Reports on to other
switches. However in the interest of not forwarding unnecessary traffic, many switches do not forward these reports to
Client Ports, such as PCs.
If the TBus transceivers do not receive IGMP Reports,
then they will BLOCK UNKNOWN MULTICAST PACKETS,
and the multicast video will not pass through.
Solutions
There are several ways to fix this: Running unicast only;
Influence the IT department to re-configure the switch; Operate
a separate security network; or manually populate the
NV-ER1808i Receiver hubs table-entry list for multicast group
addresses. (See page 21.)
Contact NVT for more information.

WIRE TYPE AND POWER DISTANCE

The distance capability of wire is dependant on its ability to deliver DC power, and separately, to deliver high-frequency
data signals.
The graph below shows maximum power delivery when using a 56V power supply. If you are locally powering your
camera (or other remote device), then this graph does not apply. The graph on the next page shows the maximum data
delivery rate.
A Distance Calculator can be found at www.nvt.com.
PoE devices require a minimum of 43V to operate. With a 56V supply, we have up to 13V of allowable voltage drop on
the wire.
The voltage will dip in proportion to the remote (camera) load. The graph below shows what PoE power distances are
supported for various loads and wire types.
Start
with the camera wattage at the left. Sometimes IP cameras are listed as to their PoE Class rather than wattage.
Now
read over to the right until you find your kind of wire. Then look up (feet) or down (meters) to find your
maximum distance.
If
your wire is not among the examples, simply measure its total resistance and find the value on the right side of the
graph. The maximum supported wattage is on the left.

Each power supply is expected to be able deliver all power needed

to operate the Hub and its remote devices. The available power for
remote devices is that of the power supply less the power needed to
operate the Hub. [250W - 30W = 220W]. Again, when calculating
total network power, one must also include 3 watts for each
remote transmitter, as well as power dissipated in the wire.

Augmented Power Under normal conditions, the load is shared

equally between the Internal and the Auxiliary power supplies. The
available power for remote devices is the sum of that of the Hubs
internal power supply plus that of the Auxiliary Power Supply, less
the power needed to operate the Hub. [250W + 250W - 30W =
470W] When calculating total network power, one must also include
3 watts for each remote transmitter, as well as power dissipated in
the wire.
The NV-ER1808i has optional terminal block connections for alarm

output contact closures. Solid-state relay contacts are closed when
56VDC is present. Terminals 5 & 6 report the power supply status of
the Internal power supply, while terminals 7 & 8 report the power
supply status of the Auxiliary power supply. Maximum 60V, 100mA,

Given the static nature of most CCTV LANs, the NV-ER1808i does
not support DHCP IP address assignments.
If you have more than one NVT hub on your network, you MUST
change the IP address so that no two hubs have the same IP
address.
The factory default IP address is 192.168.254.1. Should
you need to restore the hub to its Factory Default settings, use
a paperclip to hold in the Join button while powering up the

Like other Network Switches, TBus devices will not deliver multicast traffic unless it receives a
request for that multicast stream. The delivery of such requests requires an IGMP Querier on the
network and that the Network Switches are configured to forward IGMP Reports towards the
NV-ER1808i.
If you are unable to perform this Switch configuration, then NVT recommends you instead manually
configure the NV-ER1808i to generate an IGMP Report for each multicast camera. (See below.)
If your network has no IGMP Querier and you are unable or unwilling to perform this manual configuration, you may instruct the NV-ER1808i to generate its own IGMP Queries. Such Queries are outside
the IGMP specification, may cause un-desired network operation, and are not recomended by NVT.
NVT assumes no responsibility for network disruptions.
Have the NV-ER1808i generate IGMP Queries:

TROUBLESHOOTING
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Confirm that the NVT transceivers have been configured to communicate with each other, per instructions on page 3.
If you are experiencing problems, attempt to simplify your setup.
Test each cable segment separately. For example, test a simpler
configuration first. Then add in the NVT transceivers, back-toback. Test each segment of a long cable-run independently.
Attempt to isolate the problem.
Most IP camera installation problems involve configuring the IP
camera and the recorder to recognize each other. If in doubt, connect the camera directly to the Ethernet switch, bypassing the
transceivers. Consult the IP camera and/or recorder installation
manuals for configuration instructions, or contact the camera or
recorder manufacturer.
Which camera and NVT LEDs are on?
Can you ping the camera?
Test if unicast traffic passes smoothly but multicast traffic is
blocked. (See page 7.)
NETWORK DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

NVT has developed a Console Utility that can be downloaded from
www.nvt.com. Once installed on any Windows PC, the applicationscours the network for NVT devices, and reports each of their
MAC addresses, as well as the MAC addresses of any other NVT
devices within its joined group.
Additional network tools, such as Packet Sniffers or Traffic generators are available from other sources such as LAN Shark,
LANTraffic, etc.
