Introduction

In what follows, “user” refers to those who can access the IP camera, and “administrator” refers to the person

who knows the root password that allows changes to the IP camera’s configuration and has the right to assign

general access to other users. Administrators should read this part of the manual carefully, especially during

installation.

Software Installation

Step 1: Configure the VPort’s IP address

When the VPort is first powered on, the POST (Power On Self Test) will run for about 30 to 40 seconds. The

network environment determines how the IP address is assigned.

Network environments with a DHCP server

In this case, 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 concluded, 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).

Network environments that do NOT have a DHCP server

If your VPort 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 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.

Checkmark Use fixed IP address to ensure that the IP address you assign is not deleted each time the VPort

is restarted.
