PureLink VIP-200 User Manual V1.0 

 

 

 

 

Overview 

 

The VIP200 series allows point to point, point to many, many to point, and many to many 
configurations.   The VIP200 series is set to work out of the box as a point to point system, 
no configuration is necessary, simply plug them together using CAT5e or better cable.  The 
VIP200 series can work out of the box this way because it employs its own Auto IP 
addressing method. 
 
If you are using the VIP200 series through a network switch, you will need to determine if the 
switch is using DHCP or assigned IP addressing methods.  In either of these cases, you 
would then need to configure the VIP200 devices to DHCP or Manual IP addressing 
methods. 

 

The VIP200 series provides three modes of addressing. 

Auto IP Addressing 

 

The VIP200 system default configuration provides automatic IP addressing in the 
169.254.xxx.xxx range.  The Auto IP method provides instant and easy setup and operation 
of the VIP200 devices when a specific manual IP address method is not required, and DHCP 
is not required. 

 

Methods to determine Auto IP assignments 

 
 

There are two ways to determine the Auto IP assignments of the transmitters and receivers. 

1.  On Screen Display 

Once the receiver discovers the transmitter that equals the channel it is assigned to, it will 

display both Auto IP addresses in the lower right corner when no video signal is 
present.  If a video signal is present, you can request display of the host (transmitter) 
and client (receiver) with the following remote control buttons: 

2.  Network Discovery 

This method is available only when the transmitter(s) and receiver(s) are connected 
together via a network switch, and a computer running the VPX discovery tool is utilized.  
The computer’s ip4v address must be set within the 169.254.xxx.xxx range to detect the 
devices.  Please see the ‘Discovery of Devices Utilizing Auto IP’ section in this manual. 

Manual IP Addressing 

 

The VIP200 device IP addresses can be configured manually.  Using our simple software 
application to identify the devices Auto IP address, you can then access their built in web 
page interface to change the devices to Manual IP mode. Manual IP addressing is utilized 
when the network is not DHCP, and the Auto IP range 169.254.xxx.xxx does not work with 
the current network, or the intended design.  These settings are normally done prior to 
adding on to a network. Please see the ‘Setting Devices for Manual IP Addressing” in this 
manual. 

DHCP Addressing 

The VIP200 device IP addresses can be configured to accept IP addresses using DHCP.  
Using our simple software application to identify the devices, you can then access their built 
in web page interface to change the devices to DHCP IP mode.
