The NVT Model NV-ET1804 TBus Four Port PoE+ Transmitter is a compact media converter that allows 10/100 BaseT Ethernet and PoE+ power to be transmitted using virtually any kind of cable. These devices are often used in legacy installations where existing cable is re-deployed as part of an upgrade to IP cameras. 56 VDC class 2 power is delivered to one transceiver, which distributes it to multiple* remote transmitters, and their PoE, PoE+, or High Power PoE cameras*.
These transceivers are extremely simple to use, with no IP or MAC addressing required. Status LEDs indicate power, Ethernet/PoE, and TBus connectivity/activity/quality. They are backed by NVT's award winning customer support and limited lifetime warranty.
* Distance and number of devices supported may be lower due to power supply capacity and wire voltage-drop. See Wire Distance Charts on page 7. 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 within the NV-ER1808i or NV-ER1816i Receiver Hub. High bandwidth streaming devices (>15Mbps) that employ unusually “chatty” protocols (TCP/IP, TFTP, etc.) are not recommended. Use RTP/UDP instead.
CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
The NV-ET1804 TBus transmitter 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-ET1804 transceivers 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 control-room. 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-ET1804 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:
Step One: Gather Materials
- All 1800 series Transceivers • Device labels
- RJ45 patch-cord • IP Network Documentation Log
- Small paper-clip, partially straightened
Step Two: Connect Hardware
- Remove and discard the "Configure Before Use" labels.
-
Use an RJ45 or BNC patch-cord to connect the TBus ports of two Transceivers.
-
Apply power to one of the TBus devices.
- The blue POWER LED on each Transceiver will blink for 8 seconds and then go on.
- After 20 seconds, verify that the green TBus Link LED on each transceiver is off. If a TBus Link LED is on, the Transceiver has been previously joined. Perform the un-joining process below before proceeding.
Step Three: Joining
- On Transceiver #1, using the straightened paper-clip, momentarily depress and release the small JOIN push-button located on the bottom of the unit. Its blue Power LED will begin blinking.
- Depress and release the same push-button on the Transceiver #2. Its blue Power LED will begin blinking.
- Both Transceivers have now entered Join Mode. They will find each other and establish encrypted communication. In about 10 seconds, the blue Power LEDs on both Transceivers will return to a steady on condition, and their green TBus Link LEDs will illuminate, indicating a successful Join.
- One TBus Link LED will remain on solid. The other may wink with data.
Step Four: Adding Transceivers (if required)
- Disconnect Transceiver #1 and replace it with a new un-joined Transceiver.
- Repeat steps two and three to add additional Transceivers to the same Network Group.
Step Five: Documentation
- Label the configured Transceivers with a unique Network Group ID of your choice. This will help you identify them after they have been deployed.
-
Record this Network Group information in your IP Network Documentation Log:
-
Camera Number • Camera-end NVT Transceiver MAC Address
- Camera Position/Location • NVT Transceiver Network Group Name
- Camera Make & Model • Control Room NVT Transceiver MAC Address
- Camera MAC & IP Address • Control Room Router Port Number
- Camera Login & Password
This log may include essential documentation which will help you identify all system devices during and after deployment. The NV-ER1808i and NV-ER1816i user interfaces have data-entry fields for this purpose.
Un-Joining a Transceiver
If you need to move a Transceiver from one Network Group to another, it must first un-learn its previous Network Group and be returned to an un-joined state. Do this by:
- Apply power.
- The blue POWER LED on each Transceiver will blink for 8 seconds and then go on.
- Using the straightened paper-clip, depress the small JOIN push-button until the blue Power LED goes off (about 13 seconds).
- Un-joining is now complete.
If you are not sure that un-joining has been successful, remove and then re-apply power, and repeat.

Figure 1 - Typical Installation
Many installations that use the NV-ET1804 transmitter 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.
⚠️ Disconnect all analog equipment from the cable before installing the IP equipment. The NV-ET1804 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.
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.
Connecting the Camera End
Install the new IP camera. Mount the NV-ET1801 nearby in a clean dry place. Ambient temperature must be between -40°F and +185°F (-40°C to +85°C).
The NV-ET1804 may be mounted in a horizontal or vertical orientation using the keyholes on the underside. The keyholes are 4" (102mm) apart. Screw heads should be between .225" and .325" (5.7 and 8.2 mm) and no taller than 0.350" (8.9mm) off the mounting surface.
For each camera, connect an RJ45 patch cable between the network connector (PoE) of the camera and an Ethernet RJ45 jack on the NV-ET1804. Connect the TBus building wiring to the TBus BNC or RJ45 jack on the NV-ET1804.
For most installations, the IP camera's power will be low enough, and the TBus distance short enough, so that the NV-ET1804 and its IP camera can receive power from the head-end. In most cases, a power supply will not be needed at this end. For additional details, see the distance chart on page 7.
Connecting the Control-Room End
Install a TBus receiver at the control-room end of the TBus building wiring. This receiver may be an NV-ET1801, NV-ER1804, NV-ER1808i, or NV-ER1816i.
Connect the TBus building wiring to the TBus BNC or RJ45 jack on the
receiver.
If the receiver is an NV-ET1801 or an NV-ER1804, connect an NV-PS56-60W (or NV-PS56-90W) 56VDC power supply to the power jack on the receiver. If the receiver is an NV-ER1808i, or NV-ER1816i, then connect its IEC power inlet and turn on the power switch.
This will provide power to the entire system, including the cameras.
The blue “Power” LEDs will begin to blink on both transceivers, indicating initialization. After 10 seconds, the blue LED will go on solid, and the green LINK LED will go on indicating that the device has established communication with another TBus transceiver.
Check the Quality LED. It should be green. An amber LED indicates a weak signal, while a red LED indicates a poor signal.
If your receiver is an NV-ET1801 or NV-ER1804, and the blue LEDs continues to blink, check the power supply's LED. If it is cycling on and off then there is an overload condition. Check for wire faults (including polarity) or excessive loading.
Connect an RJ45 patch-cord between the Ethernet RJ45 jack on the receiver and either: 1) an IP camera video input on a Hybrid DVR, or 2) an Ethernet switch allocated for video. See application examples on pages 9 & 10.
The green Ethernet LED will illuminate when the Ethernet link is established, and will blink when data traffic is present.
Verify Camera End LEDs
Check the LEDs on the NV-ET1804. The blue power LED should be on. The green Link LED should also be on, indicating that the NV-ET1804 is communicating with the receiver. 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 NV-ET1804's green Ethernet LED will illuminate when the Ethernet link is established, and will blink when data traffic is present. If the camera is PoE device, the green PoE LED will also be on.
BUS ARCHITECTURE
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.
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.
NVT has screw-terminal adaptors available for this purpose. These adaptors support up to four sets of wires, each up to 16AWG.

PoE CONSIDERATIONS STREAMING
In PoE parlance, the NV-ET1804 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 NV-ET1804 can support an IP camera that employs an ethernet powered P/T/Z/heater/blower.
Unlike conventional PoE, voltage-drop and load current must be confirmed by the installer. For additional details, see the distance chart on page 7.
NVT's 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.
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.
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-user's "Enterprise LAN", there are several disadvantages in doing so. These include:
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.
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.
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 low-cost routers support VPNs.
TOCOL CONSIDERATIONS
Most IP cameras can support multiple video streams using various protocols. MJPEG and H.264 are the most common, and can be transmitted at various rates using unicast (point-to-point) or multicast (single source with multiple destinations).
The NV-ET1804 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.

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 (recommended); or use the NV-ER1808i or NV-ER1816i Receiver hubs that have their own table-entry list for multicast group addresses.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
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-to-back. 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 6.)
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.
