VPort 36-1MP Getting Started

Software Installation

Step 1: Configure the VPort 36-1MP’s IP address.

When the VPort 36-1MP is first powered on, the POST (Power On Self Test) will run for a few moments (about

30 seconds). The network environment determines how the IP address is assigned.

Network Environment with DHCP Server

For this network environment, the unit’s IP address will be assigned by the network’s DHCP server. Refer to the

DHCP server’s IP address table to determine the unit’s assigned IP address. You may also use the Moxa VPort

and Ether Device Configurator Utility (edscfgui.exe), as described below:

Using the Moxa VPort and EtherDevice Configurator Utility (edscfgui.exe)

1. Run the edscfgui.exe program to search for the VPort. After the utility’s window opens, you may also click

on the Search button

to initiate a search.

2. When the search has been completed, the Model Name, MAC address, IP address, serial port, and HTTP port

of the VPort will be listed in the utility’s window.

3. You can double click the selected VPort, or use the IE web browser to access the VPort’s web-based

manager (web server).

Non DHCP Server Network Environment

If your VPort 36-1MP 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 36-1MP 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 VPort’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: Access the VPort 36-1MP’s web-based manager

Type the IP address in the web browser’s address input box and then press enter.
