5.4 Operating via Ethernet

You can connect to the VP-440 via Ethernet using either of the following methods:

 Directly to the PC using a crossover cable (see Section 5.4.1)

 Via a network hub, switch, or router, using a straight-through cable (see

Section 5.4.2)

Note: If you want to connect via a router and your IT system is based on IPv6, speak

to your IT department for specific installation instructions.

5.4.1 Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to a PC

You can connect the Ethernet port of the VP-440 directly to the Ethernet port on your

PC using a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.

This type of connection is recommended for identifying the VP-440

with the factory configured default IP address.

After connecting the VP-440 to the Ethernet port, configure your PC as follows:

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center.

2. Click Change Adapter Settings.

3. Highlight the network adapter you want to use to connect to the device and

click Change settings of this connection.
