3.1.3.
Web Browser
The factory default is DHCP.
The Network Settings menu allows to configure the VP-794 TCP/IP address. Under Address Type a
static or DHCP leased address can be chosen. The static address and Netmask needs to be entered
manually.
The Network Settings menu has a section with information on the DHCP Status and IP address
assigned to the board, as well as the fixed MAC Address programmed into the VP-794. The DHCP
status is OFF when static assignment is used or it displays an address when DHCP has leased an
address accordingly or it is None assigned if the lease was not successful.
Note: When changing from DHCP to Static mode or vice versa it is strongly recommended that VP-794
is powered down after such a change, then powered back up, so that it is properly recognised by other
devices on the network.

Installing the Software

interface for all control items. To connect to the VP-794 the TCP/IP address of the unit has to be
entered into the address list box of the Web browser in the following format
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
. The
TCP/IP address assigned to VP-794 can be found in the System and Network Settings menu.
