Stick up cam wired Ethernet configuration failing

I have a 2nd gen wired camera powered up via poe from a ubiquity switch. (My entire network is ubiquity based, aka the switch, the router, the access points). It will not successfully configure for running on Ethernet - which baffles me since that should be just dhcp. The wireless configuration setup works fine - and going that route the camera is running the latest software. I don't want to waste my wireless bandwidth and especially since Ethernet is running out to it (the poe) - how do I convince this thing to use the Ethernet ????thanks !
