VPort 2140 User’s Manual System Configuration
4-2
System Configuration Via Web Access
System configuration can be easily done remotely from Internet Explorer via the Web Server.
There are two wizards, in addition to classified categories of system configurations, which provide
user-friendly instructions to facilitate the setup task. Alternatively, administrators may type the
system configuration URL, “http://<IP address of Video Server>/setup/config.html”, to enter the
configuration page directly. Administrators who want to set certain options through the URL
should refer to the relevant section in the Chapter 6, URL Commands for advanced functions.
There are 5 purposes for the system configuration:
1. Since VPort 2140 Video Server is a networked video server, administrators should run the
“Setup wizard,” or at least configure “Security,” “Network,” and “Video.”
2. To support external serial port devices, configure “COM 1,” “COM 2” and then “Camera
Setting” under “Video.”
3. To utilize the built-in security and web attraction features, run the “Application wizard” or
configure “Application” and “Demo.”
4. Administrators can adjust the system date and time under “System,” or configure different
homepage layouts by configuring “Homepage layout.”
5. Video Server also provides other system maintenance options, including “View log file,”
“View parameters,” and “Factory default.”
Using Setup Wizard
The setup wizard will guide the administrator to enter the required information, including:
1. Host name
2. Current date and time
3. Administrator’s password
4. Video configuration and captions
5. Network settings
The administrator can exit the setup wizard at any time to preserve the current configuration. The
setup wizard will give the administrator the option to reboot to validate the changes, or the
administrators can decide to reboot later.
