First-Time Installation and Configuration Before installing the VPort 351 video encoder, check to make sure that all items in the Package Checklist are in the box. In addition, you will need to use a notebook or PC equipped with an Ethernet port. Step 1: Select the Power Source The VPort 351 can be powered by a DC power input from 12 to 32 VDC, or an AC power input from 18 to 30 VAC. Two power inputs are provided for redundancy.
NOTE The PTZ control protocol is not standardized. To use a particular PTZ control protocol, the video server must support the driver for that protocol. Currently, the VPort 351 supports PTZ control protocol drivers for: 1. Pelco D 2. DynaColor SmartDome (supported by V2.0 firmware) If you need to use a protocol that is not on the list, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the camera to get the PTZ control commands, and then program its PTZ control in the VPort 351’s Custom Camera function.
2. When the search has finished, the Model Name, IP address, MAC address, Serial (i.e., serial number), and HTTP Port of the VPort will be listed in the VPort Utility window. NOTE Serial refers to the production serial number of this VPort, and the HTTP Port number is the http port used by this VPort. 3. Double click on the selected VPort, or use the IE web browser to access the VPort’s web-based manager (web server).
NOTE For Windows XP SP2 or above operating systems, the ActiveX Control component will be blocked for system security reasons. In this case, the VPort’s security warning message window may not appear. Users should unblock the ActiveX control function or disable the security configuration to enable the installation of VPort’s ActiveX Control component.
Step 9: Accessing VPort’s System Configuration Click on System Configuration to access the overview of the system configuration to change the configuration. Model Name, Server Name, IP Address, MAC Address, Firmware Version, and LED Status appear in the green bar near the top of the page. Use this information to check the system information and installation. For details of each configuration, check the User’s Manual on the software CD.

Wall Mounting (Optional) Follow the steps below to mount the VPort 351 on a wall or panel. STEP 1: Remove the aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate from the VPort 351, and then attach the wall mount plates, as shown in the diagrams below. Top plate ⇒ Bottom plate STEP 2: Mounting the VPort 351 on the wall requires 4 screws. Use the VPort 351, with wall mount plates attached, as a guide to 6.0 mm mark the correct locations of the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.
You should also pay attention to the following: y Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point. NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
Wiring the Relay Output RELAY 2 RELAY 1 Normal Open Common Normal Close The VPor 351 has two sets of relay outputs, labeled RELAY 1 and RELAY 2, located on the 8-pin terminal block connector. Each relay output uses 3 of the contacts on the 8-pin terminal block. The terminal block is located on the VPor 351’s top panel. The relay output can be configured for: 1. System alarm: power failure or disconnected network 2.
You may then use a console terminal program, such as MOXA PComm Terminal Emulator, to access VPort 351’s console configuration utility.
