Troubleshooting guide for Indigo LPR camera displaying a 'No Network' error. Focuses on non-invasive diagnostics and safe handling.
Check the camera's configuration settings or the DHCP server logs.
Examine the switch port LEDs and consult the switch's management interface.
Review the firewall configuration and identify any rules that might be interfering with network connectivity.
Network connectivity relies on several layers: physical (cable integrity, port status), data link (MAC address assignment, ARP), network (IP address, subnet mask, gateway), and transport (TCP/UDP). Failure at any layer results in a 'No Network' error. Power fluctuations or ESD events can corrupt network configuration data. Signal attenuation or interference can also disrupt communication. Incorrect firewall settings could also block network traffic.
The Indigo LPR (License Plate Recognition) camera displays a 'No Network' error, indicating a failure to connect to the network.
Electrical hazards exist. Do not operate the camera in wet or damp environments. Ensure the power supply is properly grounded. Avoid touching the connectors with bare hands to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Risk of tripping hazards from loose cables in a retail setting; secure cables appropriately.
Regularly inspect network cables for damage and ensure they are securely connected. Periodically clean the camera lens and housing with a dry, anti-static cloth. Ensure adequate ventilation around the camera to prevent overheating. Implement cable strain relief to minimize stress on connectors. Periodically review and update the camera's firmware.
If the camera has a reset button, try performing a factory reset to restore the default network settings. Consult the Indigo LPR camera manual for the correct reset procedure. If the camera supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), ensure the PoE switch port is functioning correctly and supplying adequate power. Check the switch logs for network errors or port flapping associated with the camera's port.
