NOTE
The VPort D351 supports Transparent PTZ control, which means
that the VPort D351 can connect directly to the PTZ control panel
or keyboard to control the remote PTZ camera connected to the
VPort encoder. Since the PTZ control protocol is not standardized,
the PTZ control panel and keyboard must support the control of
PTZ cameras.
NOTE
Currently, VPort encoders support PTZ control protocol drivers
for:
1.
Pelco D
2.
Pelco P
3.
DynaColor DynaDome
In addition, there is an item named “Transparent PTZ Control” in
the camera driver list. This is used to transmit the PTZ control
signal over the TCP/IP network to the VPort D351 video decoder,
so that the PTZ control panel or keyboard can directly control the
PTZ camera or device. Using this method eliminates the need for a
PTZ camera driver. In addition, you will be able to use any PTZ
camera with your VPort encoders.
Step 6: Configure the VPort D351’s IP address
After powering on the VPort D351, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power
On Self Test) to run. The POST process is complete once the STAT LED turns
green. The IP address will be assigned when the 10 or 100 Mbps NETWORK
LED blinks. The value of the IP address that is assigned is based on the
network environment.
Network Environment with DHCP Server
When a DHCP server is present, the IP address of the VPort D351 is assigned
by the DHCP server. Use the DHCP server’s IP address table, or use the Moxa
VPort and Ether Device Configurator utility to determine the IP address that
was assigned by the DHCP server.
NOTE
After powering on the VPort D351, wait a few seconds for the
POST (Power On Self Test) to run. The IP address will be assigned
when the 10 or 100 Mbps NETWORK LED blinks.
