System Configuration by Web Browser
System configuration can be done easily and remotely using Internet Explorer. In addition to
classified categories of system configuration, two wizards are available to provide user-friendly
instructions to facilitate the setup task. Alternatively, administrators can type the system
configuration URL, http://<IP address of Video Encoder>/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 Chapter 6, URL Commands for Advanced Functions.
System configuration serves 5 purposes:
1. Since the VPort 2141 is a networked video encoder, administrators should at least configure
Security, Network, and Video.
2. To support external serial port devices, configure Camera Control and then Camera Setting
under Video.
3. To use the built-in security and web attraction features, configure Application.
4. Administrators can adjust the system date and time under System, or configure different
homepage layouts by configuring Homepage layout.
5. The VPort 2141 also provides other system maintenance options, including View log file,
View parameters, and Factory default.
