VPort 2140 User’s Manual System Configuration
4-5
Manage user
If the access rights of some users need to be changed, find the user name from the drop down list
and click on Edit. A new window will appear for administrators to change the password and select
a different authorization. Administrators can also delete the selected user by clicking on Delete. A
message window will open next to confirm.
Snapshot mode
A maximum of 20 users can view VPort’s images at the same time. Administrators can select the
Allow more guests with snapshot mode option to enable the snapshot mode for more users. In
this case, when the number of users exceeds 20, users will see the main page in snapshot mode
instead of seeing normal video images. Snapshot mode is very useful for web attraction. In this
case, configure the Snapshot interval to achieve better performance. Increasing the time interval
between snapshots allows more users to use snapshot mode.
Click on Save to validate changes.
Network
Reset network at next boot
To eliminate incautious mistakes during installation, VPort 2140 Video Server will be in
installation mode whenever it starts up, unless Reset network at next boot is disabled.
1. □ Reset network at next boot
VPort 2140 Video Server will skip installation at the next boot, and the IP Installer program
will not show this VPort 2140. In this case, the VPort cannot be accessed and reconfigured
over the network using the IP Installer program if no one remembers the IP address, unless the
VPort’s reset button is used first to restore factory default settings. The advantage of enabling
the “Use this IP whenever the system boots” option is that the VPort will automatically
operate normally after being restarted after a power loss.
