What is PoE Port Cycling?
PoE Port Cycling gives Ronin the ability to recover offline devices instantly.
After detecting the issue, Ronin pinpoints the exact switch port and performs a safe power reset to bring the camera back online — no site visit, no guesswork.
Additional Hailo-8 AI Module - Optional
The optional Hailo-8 module boosts Katana’s on-device AI performance, enabling faster, more accurate analytics at the edge.
How Port Cycling Works
1
Ronin detects an offline device
Ronin monitors every camera and device. When one stops responding, it raises an alert.
2
Ronin finds the exact switch port
It knows which switch and port the device is connected to in the Katana/Samurai network.
3
Sends a power-cycle command
When you manually trigger a port-cycling action, Ronin restarts the device by turning the port off → wait → on forcing a clean reboot.
4
Camera restarts
The restart clears frozen video, network issues, and other common faults.
4
Ronin confirms the camera is healthy
Ronin checks the stream, status, and stability. If still offline, it escalates.

Questions?
What is PoE Port Cycling?
PoE Port Cycling is an intelligent power-management feature that automatically restores unresponsive devices—such as cameras, servers, and edge units—without the need for manual resets. When a device stops responding, Katana (or Ronin when integrated) identifies the fault and triggers a controlled power cycle on the exact switch port, bringing the device back online within seconds.
How Port Cycling Works
-
Detection
Continuous monitoring identifies when a camera or device becomes unresponsive or stops streaming. -
Isolation
The system pinpoints the exact switch and port the device is connected to. -
Power Cycle
Power to that port is turned off → paused → turned back on, forcing a clean reboot. -
Recovery
The device automatically restarts, clearing common issues such as frozen streams, network glitches, and low-power lockups. - Verification & Logging
Ronin confirms the device is healthy again (online + stable) and logs the event for maintenance tracking or escalation if needed.
Power Budget Allocation
Katana Pro: 240W total across 16 ports (15W per port average)
Katana Ultra: 360W total across 24 ports (15W per port average)
Both models support IEEE 802.3af (15.4W) and 802.3at (30W) standards with intelligent power distribution.
Benefits
- Zero downtime with automatic recovery
- Eliminate costly technician site visits
- Remote management capabilities
- Real-time power consumption monitoring per port
- Overload protection for all connected devices
Power Budget Allocation (Katana)
Katana Pro
- 240W total across 16 ports
- ~15W per port average
Katana Ultra
- 360W total across 24 ports
- ~15W per port average
Both models support IEEE 802.3af (15.4W) and IEEE 802.3at (30W) PoE standards with intelligent, dynamic power distribution to prevent overloads.
