Modem
Before powering on the VPort 2140 Video Server:
1. Connect your camera’s video output with the BNC video input.
2. Connect VPort’s COM port with your modem’s COM port.
3. Power on the Modem
4. Connect the power adaptor.
Powering on VPort 2140 Video Server
After all cables are correctly and firmly connected, turn on all peripheral devices, including
cameras, sensors, and alarm devices. And then connect the VPort 2140 to the power supply.
After being powered on, the VPort will automatically detect if an external modem is connected to
the modem port. As soon as an external modem is detected, the CONNECT LED will blink
periodically. If no modem is detected, the VPort will assume that the included null modem cable is
connected to perform system configuration. Both CONNECT and SERIAL LEDs will show as
“steady on” until the dial-up connection over the null modem is established.
