FOREWORD
Dear MOBOTIX customer,
Congratulations on your decision to select an innovative quality product ‘Made in Germany’!
The 2nd-generation Mx2wire+ media converter (available as of 11/2011) allows you to
transform a two-wire cable into a network cable including PoE power supply with a maxi-
mum power output of 13 watts (PoE class 3) in just a few minutes.
Minimal installation eort is required to replace an analog telephone with an IP tele-
phone, for instance. Or you can use the existing coaxial cable of an old analog camera
to replace this camera with a modern MOBOTIX HiRes camera with up to a thirty times
higher image resolution.
Please make sure that all components are included as listed in the overview in
Section 2.1
.
The manual then gives you a brief overview of the innovative product concept and presents
you with practical ways to use the Mx2wire+ media converter. This is followed by all the
information you need to install and operate the device.
from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (German time). Support is free of charge (not
including your connection costs).
We would like to thank you for your trust and wish you all the best with your MOBOTIX product!
Your MOBOTIX Team
Important Notes
Never Disconnect the Mx2wire+ Sets
The two identical Mx2wire+ units can only be used together in a prepackaged set. The
units are paired to one another with the same seven-digit network ID. The network ID
can be found on the white sticker in the upper left corner on the front side of the circuit
board (behind the front panel with the RJ45 port). If one Mx2wire+ unit is replaced with
a unit from another set, a software tool (available soon from MOBOTIX) needs to be
used to change the network ID manually.
Electrical Installation
Electrical systems and equipment may only be set up, changed and maintained by a
qualified electrician (or under the management and supervision of a qualified electri-
cian) in accordance with electrotechnical regulations.
Data Transfer Rates and Cable Lengths
We have tested the product very carefully and, instead of specifying non-recurrent peak
values, we only provide the important net data rate, which was measured over a long period
of time. However, we can provide no guarantee of possible cable lengths, data rates and
power transmission, as various physical factors are not within the area of responsibility
of MOBOTIX (sources of interference such as machines or power cables, the condition
and quality of the cables used, etc.). The nominal data rate, connection length and power
transmission can only be individually tested and determined at the place of installation.
