Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used for avoiding overloading of the circuits.
•
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
•
Maximum mounting height for the device is 2 meters.
Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your

Default IP Parameters
– Set to DHCP On
Fallback IP Address:
192.168.1.39
UDP Port #:
50000
Fallback Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
TCP Port #:
5000
Fallback Gateway:
192.168.1.1
User/Password:
Admin/Admin
Host name
VS-211XS-xxxx (where xxxx are the last 4 digits of the S/N)
When using
VS-211XS
for the first time, the fallback IP address is set until DHCP server is discovered and a new IP address is acquired.
DHCP discovery is retried every 1 minute, approximately.
To discover IP address:
•
Connect to device via Eth and browse to default host name (e.g.,
http://
VS-211XS
-0024
), where xxx are last digits of the S/N;
alternatively, perform factory reset (via reset button) and browse to fallback IP address.
•
Connect to subnet via a router with
built-in DHCP server
(a basic home router will do) to subnet for identifying subnet-connected
devices via router web-UI, using their unique hostname and/or L2 MAC address.
