Before getting started
Before using your VPort 2140, please pay close attention to the following items:
After opening the VPort 2140 box, compare the contents of the box with the Package Checklist in Chapter
1. Notify your sales representative if any of the items is missing or damaged.
To prevent damage or problems caused by improper usage, read the Quick Installation Guide (printed
handbook in the package) or Chapter 1, Introduction, under Product Description, and Chapter 2,
Getting Started, before assembling and operating the device and peripherals.
If you experience a system error, and the system does not recover easily, refer to the Troubleshooting
section in Chapter 7 to learn how to restore factory default settings and reinstall the system.
The VPort 2140 Video Server has been designed for various environments and can be used to build various
applications for general security or demonstration purposes. For standard applications, refer to the
appropriate section in Chapter 2, Getting Started, under Accessing VPort 2140 Video Server for the
First Time section to find your application, and then follow the steps to set up the system. To make the best
use of VPort, read Chapter 5, Advanced Applications, in the URL Command for advanced functions
section to get creative ideas, and review Chapter 4, System Configuration for detailed explanations of
system configurations.
