Installation guide

NOTE
Drivers are required to support specific PTZ control protocols. The
VPort 251 supports the following protocols:
y Pelco D
y Pelco P
y DynaColor DynaDome
For other protocols, please contact the video camera manufacturer
for the PTZ control commands. You may then use the VPort 251’s
Custom Camera function to program PTZ control.
NOTE
New PTZ drivers can be uploaded for the VPort 251. Please contact
a Moxa sales rep to discuss development of new PTZ drivers.
NOTE
The “Transparent PTZ Control” function can be used for PTZ
camera control over the network, without requiring special PTZ
drivers. PTZ cameras can be directly controlled by a keyboard or
PTZ control panel on the network.
Step 5: Configure the VPort’s IP address.
After powering on the VPort 251, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power On
Self Test). The STAT LED will turn green when the POST is completed. The
NETWORK LED will blink as the IP address is assigned. The IP address will
be selected according to the network environment.
Network Environment with DHCP Server
In this case, the VPort's IP address is assigned by a DHCP server. Use the
DHCP server’s IP address table or Moxa's VPort utility to look up the IP
address that was assigned to the VPort.
Using VPort and EtherDevice Configurator
1. Run edscfgui.exe to start VPort and EtherDevice Configurator. Select
Broadcast Search from the List Server menu to search for the VPort on
the network.
NOTE
VPort and Ether Device Configurator can be downloaded at
www.moxa.com.
2. The Broadcast Search window will show a list of all EDS switches and
VPorts located on the network.
