VPort 2141 Video Encoder User’s Manual System Configuration
4-27
Factory Default
This Factory default function is used to restore the VPort 2141 to its factory default settings. This
means that any changes that were made previously will be lost. After clicking OK, the system will
restart. Note that it will take some time for the restore action to finish, and you will need to run the
software installation program to set up the network.
System Configuration by FTP
CONFIG.INI
FTP can be used to configure the VPort 2141 much more quickly than configuring from a web
browser, particularly when configuring multiple VPort 2141 units. To configure a VPort 2141 by
FTP, first download the parameter file (CONFIG.INI), customize each field, and then upload the
file to the VPort 2141 to install the new settings. To log into the FTP daemon, enter “root” as the
user name, and enter the password that you use when connecting to the Web server. The VPort
2141’s MAC address (no dashes, all letters upper case) is the password for initial access.
The CONFIG.INI file has multiple categories. The category names in square brackets should be in
upper case. The item names in angle braces should be in lower case. Some items related to
disable/enable should use the keywords “YES” or “NO”. The number zero (0) entry in <user
name> and <user password> is for administrators, i.e. “root”. The VPort 2141 will restart
automatically as soon as the file is uploaded and accepted. If you want to cancel the reboot
procedure after transferring the CONFIG.INI file by FTP, then set the first item, <reset system>, to
NO. However, it will only take effect once, and show YES in the download config.ini file the next
time.
A sample CONFIG.INI file is shown in the table below. The text in italics describes the
characteristics of the field, and the bold italic characters are the options for the field.
The following table is an example, with all parameters listed in General command URL format.
