Assigning the IP Address Manually
To change the IP address of the VPort manually, access the VPort’s web server, and then navigate
to the Configuration\ Network page to configure the IP address and other network settings.
Uncheck the “Reset IP address at next boot” checkbox to ensure that the IP address you assign is
not deleted each time the VPort is restarted.
Accessing VPort 2140 Video Server for the First Time
Once the installation is complete, administrators should follow the instructions described in the
next chapter, First Time Accessing VPort 2140 Video Server, to make necessary configurations.
Setting up a Modem Environment
VPort 2140 Video Server provides 2 modem modes: Modem and Null Modem. The null modem
mode can be used for point-to-point connections in a local environment. Although the baud rate
can be set up to 115.2 Kbps, the actual data rate depends on the network connection. For dial-up
connections, the VPort 2140 Video Server waits passively for a phone call to establish a
point-to-point connection.
ATTENTION
The Modem and Null Modem dial-up connections are for initial usage of Video Server. If you
have already used an Ethernet connection, reset Video Server to factory defaults before using a
dial-up connection. In addition, when using a dial-up connection, the Ethernet socket must be
disconnected.
ATTENTION
The Modem and Null Modem connections for VPort 2140 Video Server only support the dial-in
function, which means that you can access the VPort 2140 Video Server, but VPort 2140 Video
Server cannot send alarm messages to you automatically via the Modem and Null Modem
connection.
