Save the modification
After all necessary modifications are made, click on Save to store the modifications. A warning
message will appear for confirmation. After clicking on OK, the VPort will automatically restart.
If the Reset network at next boot option is checked, perform the software installation again.
Otherwise, the VPort will boot up automatically using the new configuration settings.
COM 1 & COM 2
There are 2 COM ports, COM 1 and COM 2, in VPort 2140 Video Server for connecting the
external devices, such as Motorized PTZ controller, Modem, or Multiplexer.
RS-232 RS-485 Speed
COM 1
DB9 Male Terminal block for Data+, Data- Max. 115. 2 Kbps
COM 2
DB9 Male N/A Max. 115. 2 Kbps
Interface mode
The COM 1 supports 2 serial interfaces, although only one interface can be used at a time.
Depending on the interface used by the attached device, administrators must set the Interface
mode to either RS-232 or RS-485.
The COM 2 only supports RS-232 interface. For this reason, there is no interface mode selection
for COM 2.
ATTENTION
RS-232 interface is used via the DB9 COM port, and RS-485 interface is used via the GPIO.
These 2 interfaces cannot be used at the same time.
