Request for help with Active BaseStation setup

Hi, I am currently trying to use Active Markers with OptiTrack and have encountered an issue with the Base Station. I have connected the Base Station using PoE, and the indicator light glows green/yellow. However, the device does not appear under "Devices" in Motive (version 3.1.2). Additionally, no other LEDs on the Base Station are glowing.

My setup includes:

Three Prime 13W cameras
An eSync device, which is successfully listed under "Devices" in Motive
Motive version 3.1.2
I would like to confirm:

Should the Base Station also be powered via the mini USB cable in addition to PoE?
What steps should I take to ensure the Active Marker Base Station is properly detected in Motive?
Thank you very much.

No, the Base Station should only need PoE for both power and data—USB is not required.
