VPort D351 User’s Manual Getting Started
NOTE
The VPort D351 supports Transparent PTZ control, which means that the VPort D351 can
connect directly to the PTZ control panel or keyboard to control the remote PTZ camera
connected to the VPort series video encoders. Since the PTZ control protocol is not standardized,
the PTZ control panel and keyboard must support the control of PTZ cameras.
NOTE
Currently, VPort series video encoders support PTZ control protocol drivers for:
1. Pelco D
2. Pelco P
3. DynaColor DynaDome
In addition, the camera driver list has an item named “Transparent PTZ Control.” This is used to
transmit the PTZ control signal over the TCP/IP network to the VPort D351 video decoder, so
that the PTZ control panel or keyboard can directly control the PTZ camera or device. Using this
method eliminates the need for a PTZ camera driver. In addition, you will be able to use any PTZ
camera with your VPort series video encoders.
Step 6: Configure the VPort D351’s IP address
After powering on the VPort D351, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power On Self Test) to run.
The POST process is complete once the STAT LED turns green. The IP address will be assigned
when the 10 or 100 Mbps NETWORK LED blinks. The value of the IP address that is assigned is
based on the network environment.
Network Environment with DHCP Server
When a DHCP server is present, the IP address of the VPort D351 is assigned by the DHCP server.
Use the DHCP server’s IP address table, or use the Moxa VPort and EtherDevice Configurator
utility to determine the IP address that was assigned by the DHCP server.
NOTE
After powering on the VPort D351, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power On Self Test) to
run. The IP address will be assigned when the 10 or 100 Mbps NETWORK LED blinks.
Using the Moxa VPort and EtherDevice Configurator Utility (edscfgui.exe)
1. Run the edscfgui.exe program to search for VPorts and EDS switches. After the Utility
window opens, select or click Broadcast Search under the List Server menu, or click on the
Broadcast Search icon
to initiate a search.

You may download the VPort and EtherDevice Configurator software from Moxa’s website at
