General I/O Terminal Blocks

One 8-pin terminal block and two 5-pin terminal block are located on the VPort 364A’s top panel. The terminal

blocks provide 4 digital inputs (DI), 2 relay outputs (Relay), and 2 power inputs. The digital inputs and relay

outputs are for linking to peripheral devices, such as sensors and alarms. These I/O connections can be

employed when using the VPort 364A to create an intelligent alarm system for system operations (power failure,

video loss, disconnected network) or triggered events (VMD).

RS-232 Console Port

The VPort 364A has one RS-232 (10-pin RJ45) console port located on the top panel. Use either an

RJ45-to-DB9 cable or RJ45-to-DB25 cable to connect the VPort 364A’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You

may then use a console terminal program, such as Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator, to access the VPort 364A’s

console configuration utility.

Reset Button

A recessed RESET button is provided for rebooting and restoring the system to the factory default settings. Use

a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or toothpick, to press the reset button.

Reboot:

To reboot the VPort 364A, power it off and then power it back on again, or push the RESET button one time. The

STAT LED will light in red as the POST (Power On Self Test) process runs. When the rebooting process is

finished, the STAT LED will turn green.

Restore to Factory Settings:

A recessed RESET button is provided for restoring the system to the factory default settings. When the system

fails to install properly, or operates abnormally, use the RESET button located on the top panel of the VPort

364A to restore the factory defaults.

To do this, use a pointed object such as a straightened paper clip or toothpick to hold down the reset button,

and then release the reset button when the STAT LED stops flashing in red. At this point, the POST process will

run, and the VPort will reboot. The STAT LED will turn green when the VPort has finished rebooting.
