3.2. Access from the internet
Access from the internet once connected, the VK2-VGAVFD is accessible on your local network (LAN).
To access the video encoder from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow
incoming data traffic to the video encoder. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will
attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the video encoder. This is enabled
from Setup > System > Network > NAT.
For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on page 54.
3.3 Setting the admin password over a secure
connection
To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user must be set. This is
done in the “Admin Password” dialog, which is displayed when the VK2-VGAVFD is accessed for the
setup at the first time. Enter your admin name and password, set by the administrator.
Note: The default administrator username and password is “admin”. If the password is lost, the VK2-
VGAVFD must be reset to the factory default settings. See “3.8 Resetting to the Factory Default
Settings” for more details.
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, this can be done via an
encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see note below).
