When wiring your Baseline Camera, it's all about the PoE switch. It is the distributing part of the Wingfield Court and connects the Wingfield Box with your camera, supplies it with power and is the link to your internet connection.

Mount the Switch inside the Wingfield Box
⚠️ Attention: To avoid unnecessary cabling, we always recommend mounting the PoE switch in the housing of the Wingfield Box. Our multi-court setup may make more sense if you have several Wingfield Boxes. In this case, continue with this article.
1) Remove screws
Remove the upper of the two screws from the integrated net post of the Wingfield Box. Stowing the screw somewhere where it will not get lost is best.
2) Attach the switch mount
Attach the shorter end of the switch mount to the net post of the Wingfield Box. You can insert the supplied Allen key through the free hole.
This is how you wire the switch.
1) Store components in the waterproof housing
Insert the PoE adapter into the upper and the switch into the lower slot of the housing. Connect both components with the short white cable (see illustration).
⚠️ Attention: Plug the short white cable into the left Ethernet port of the switch (see illustration).
2) Connect the switch to the power
You can connect the PoE switch directly to the free socket of your Wingfield Box (230V) with the supplied mains plug (1m IP44 mains cable). When the white LED lights up, the device is in operation.
☝🏼By the way: If you have not placed your switch in the box and have already laid a power cable to the appropriate location, your electrician can connect the three-wire power cable directly to the PoE switch.
The PoE switch requires a separate power connection. The maximum power is 60W (actual consumption 5W - 10W).
3) Connect the switch to the Wingfield Box
Now you can connect the Wingfield Box and the switch via Ethernet cable. If you store the switch inside the Wingfield Box housing, it is best to use the 1m Ethernet cable supplied. Note that you attach the waterproof connector to the end of the LAN cable plugged into the Wingfield Box (if you still need to). The video below shows you how to attach the connector to the cable.
☝🏼By the way: You can find the waterproof connector and the 1m Ethernet cable in the bag with the installation accessories for the Wingfield Box Brain.

☝🏼By the way: You do not necessarily have to have mounted the camera in this step already (this follows in step 4/4 of the installation guide). However, in order to be able to display the live image of the camera on the Wingfield Box in the final step and thus better align the camera, you should have connected it once in this step.
5) Connect the switch to the Internet
Connect the switch to your Internet network. This can be done via a direct LAN connection either to your router or, for example, via a WLAN repeater with LAN output. It doesn't matter which Ethernet port you plug the LAN cable from the router into.
☝🏼 By the way: A standard network cable (CAT 6a) is required for connection to the Internet (see scope of delivery). A transmission rate of at least 1Gbit/s must be guaranteed.
Make sure that all cables in the router, switch, Baseline Camera and Wingfield Box are plugged in correctly. The display of your Wingfield Box should now show the online status of your box.
⚠️ Attention: If you have previously connected your Wingfield Box to your network via WiFi, you may have to change the network settings in the configuration mode of the Wingfield Box to LAN.
6) Avoid tripping hazards
Store the cables leading from the router and the Baseline camera to the Wingfield Box in your cable bridge to avoid tripping hazards on the court. The cable bridge is part of the delivery of your Wingfield Box.
