Non DHCP Server Network Environment
If your VPort 25 is connected to a network that does not have a DHCP server, then you will need
to configure the IP address manually. The default IP address of the VPort 25 is 192.168.127.100
and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Note that you may need to change your computer’s
IP address and subnet mask so that the computer is on the same subnet as the VPort.
To change the IP address of the VPort manually, access the VPor’s web server, and then navigate
to the System Configuration → Network → General page to configure the IP address and other
network settings. Check the Use fixed IP address to ensure that the IP address you assign is not
deleted each time the VPort is restarted.
Step 2: Accessing the VPort 25’s web-based manager
Type the IP address in the web browser’s address input box and then press enter.
Step 3: Install the ActiveX Control Plug-in
A security warning message will appear the first time you access the VPort’s web-based manager.
The message is related to installing the VPort AcitveX Control component on your PC or
notebook. Click Yes to install this plug-in to enable the IE web browser for viewing video images.
