Ports and Addresses

The single reference for what plugs in where. Both switch models are cabled the same way; on the upgraded ECS5512FP, ports 11-12 stay free.

Switch ports​

All RJ45 ports supply PoE by default. Port 8 is the recommended port for the gateway or site uplink.

Each NUC has two 2.5GbE ports, A on top and B below, both connected.

The HiveSight SBC and a PoE gateway get power from the switch.

Addresses and logins​

Your own addresses and logins are on your Access & Configuration Sheet. These are the defaults when no DHCP is available:

DeviceFallback addressLogin
Switch192.168.0.239On your sheet. EnGenius default after a factory reset: admin / password
PDU192.168.10.80On your sheet. EnGenius default after a factory reset: admin / admin

There is no DHCP server inside the P-EDC. With a gateway or site network connected, devices take a DHCP lease instead.

HiveSight​

HiveSight listens on these ports, for networks with firewalls:

PortServiceNotes
80/tcpWebRedirects to HTTPS
443/tcpWebDashboard and API
22/tcpSSHKey or password, with brute-force protection
5353/udpmDNS.local name discovery

8443/tcpPi-holeOnly while the Pi-hole add-on is on

HiveSight connects out to your HCI: StorMagic 443, NodeWeaver 2633 (or 443), Scale 443, Proxmox 8006.

Keystone panel​

Internal cables run from the nodes, SBC and PDU to the keystone panel, and from there to the switch. Cable labels: the number is the node, the letter the port (A top, B bottom on NUC PRO; A 10G, B 2.5GbE on HR-01). Node power plugs on the NUC PRO are labelled 1, 2, 3 to match the PDU outlets.

The keystone panel also has the USB-C port for a HiveRadar Off-Grid battery, which leads to the HiveSight SBC.
