Moxa VPort 66 [12/15] Software installation

- 12 -

Step 7: Power on the VPort 66-2MP

NOTE

When the VPort 66-2MP’s internal temperature is under -30°C, it

will need at least 30 to 40 minutes to power up.

Software Installation

Step 1: Configure the VPort’s IP address.

When the VPort 66-2MP is first powered on, the POST (Power On Self Test)

will run for a few moments (about 90 to 120 seconds). The network

environment determines how the IP address is assigned.

DHCP Server Network Environment

For this type of 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 EtherDevice 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 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. 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 is connected to a network that does not have a DHCP server,

you will need to configure the IP address manually. The default IP address

of the VPort 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.
