6/3/2023 0 Comments Cisco dvr power on timeNow it's in 2 parts but most of it is still there, many times it does it on the commercials, nothing missed. First thing the DVR does after the reboot, is restart the recording. I know, as I've had my 1225 reboot while watching w/something else recording. Given the chronic nature of the problem I either want this unit traded for a better, newer, more-reliable unit, or I'll move back to DirecTV since I have had very good experience with their hardware and service.Īny recommendations from the community on a more reliable unit from ATT or how to get this unit in place, before I make a final decision to move back to DirecTV (which would even be cheaper for the next 12 What I don't understand is the reboot only last 3-4 minutes and the DVR does NOT forget what it is suppossed to record. Pretty simple, at least from the u-verse hardware point-of-view. Wired ethernet in off a switch network from the RG, and a good quality HDMI cable out to an eMotiva XMC-1 processor which does all the HDMI switching. My wife also is finding missing favorite recordings of hers, and every time I can pin it down to a timeframe when the IPN 4320 had gone into a reboot status.Ĭonnection is very simple. The other night was about the last I will tolerate as it cut off a Person of Interest recording after about 2/3 through. I can always tell the unit is in a reboot state when I see a flashing power button light on the front. This almost always happens sometime after we have shut the system down for the night. The units have a bad habit of rebooting themselves. Same stuff still goes on at various levels but as far as PoE goes with the gear we have, it's solid.I'm on my second IPN 4320 in the last few months. Standards are open to interpretation and get implementated in slightly different ways resulting in interoperability issues at times. In concept I guess you could say something like this is related. I haven't seen issues like that in almost a decade. I remember the days where Brand X NIC didn't play nice with Brand Y switch for speed/duplex negiotation but that was a long time ago and certainly not just Cisco specific. It is very rare for us to have any PoE issues with any of this gear. I don't even remember all the details, It's been a little while and unfortunately we didn't have much time to spend on it. Just used injectors for the time being until we could get back to it and investigate indepth. We have had it on multiple 802.3at compliant switches (30W max) but they did not negoiate and the camera never powers. That was with an Axis P5534 if I recall correctly. with one exception that we haven't gotten back to, to investigate. Not sure if anyone out there can shed light on this issue. This happened on Stardot, Arecont, Vivotek and Axis cameras/encoders, all exibiting the same behavior. Putting external PoE injectors gets the cameras linked back up but defeats the purpose and function of high end expensive networking equipment. Cisco is telling us that these cameras manufacturers are not follwing tru PoE standards with their Class assignments meaning that the camera is asking for one wattage and actually needing another. After installing the new switches we had many cameras from all brands either fail to PoE power or even less commonly, pull PoE power but no link. This install had all IP cameras from 3-4 brands powered and working perfectly thru the ESW switches. Well since, then on an existing install, we did a network upgrade changign all ESW series untis out for new 29 series units. We resolved it by moving all cameras off PoE and back to 12/24 rack mount power. We struggled with Cisco and Arecont back and forth, each blaming the other company's product. This happen with Arecont cameras, 3 differnt models both Bullet syel and Megadome. Sounds like a power issue but we are way under the max PoE power consumption for those swicthes. A power cycle of the switch would then power up other cameras and then not ones previuously powered. Sometimes they would work, sometimes not. We first noticed on a new installation the some cameras were having trouble negotiating PoE power. Recently on several projects we have starting using the 2960 series. We have very many installations using the lower end ESW Series and have had no issue whatsover in using any brand of IP camera powered via PoE. I thought I would put this out there and see if anyone has experienced similar issues with using the 3500 or 2960 series of Cisco network switches.
