VPort D351 User’s Manual Getting Started
The Meaning of “User” and “Administrator”
In what follows, “user” refers to those who can access the Video Server, and “administrator” refers
to the person who knows the root password that allows changes to the Video Encoder’s
configuration. Administrators also have general access. Administrators should read this part of the
manual carefully, especially during installation.
First-Time Installation and Configuration
Before installing the VPort D351, check to make sure that all items in the Package Checklist are
present. In addition, you will need access to a notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet
port.
Step 1: Select the Power Source
The VPort D351 can be powered by a 12 to 32 VDC power input, or an 18 to 30 VAC power input.
Two power inputs are provided for redundancy. Users can check the LED status located on the
front panel to see if the power inputs are connected appropriately. If one of the power inputs fails,
the FAULT LED will light up in red.
NOTE
The VPort D351 supports 12-32 VDC for a 12/24 VDC power input, or 18-30 VAC for a 24
VAC power input. This differs from the 12-45 VDC power input supported by Moxa’s EDS
series of Ethernet switches.
Step 2: Connect the VPort D351 to a Network
The VPort D351 has an auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port for network connectivity.
The RJ45 port has LEDs for indicating 10 Mpbs or 100 Mpbs data transmission.
Step 3: Connect the VPort D351 to an audio source (if required)
The VPort D351 supports 1 AUDIO INPUT and 1 AUDIO OUTPUT. A microphone or an
amplifier can be plugged directly into the AUDIO INPUT port; a speaker can be plugged into the
AUDIO OUTPUT port.
Step 4: Connect the VPort D351 to a video output source
The VPort D351 supports 1 VIDIO OUTPUT for transmitting analog video. Connect the video
output source, such as CCTV monitor or switch, to the BNC connector to use the analog video
signal.
Step 5: Connect the VPort D351 to a control panel or keyboard to control the motorized PTZ
camera or device (if required)
If a motorized PTZ camera or device is used at the VPort encoder site, users can connect the PTZ
control panel or keyboard to the VPort D351’s PTZ port to control the motorized PTZ camera or
device directly once the connection between the VPort D351 and the VPort encoder is ready. The
PTZ port uses a 5-pin terminal block for the RS-232/422/485 serial connection. The pin
assignments are shown in the following table.
