Setting the network options
The VM4HD supports DHCP, a widely supported network
configuration protocol. When DHCP is enabled, the VM4HD will
automatically configure the ethernet interface. If it is disabled, the
VM4HD will use the network configuration defined in the setup
menu. Note – Only advanced users should disable DHCP.
To set the network options enter the VM4HD setup menu as shown
on page 6,
Using the setup menu
,
and navigate to the Network
Setup sub-menu. Note – DHCP must be disabled to edit the static
IP address settings. Any changes to the network settings will take
effect the next time the VM4HD is power cycled.
Performing a firmware upgrade
The VM4HD downloads firmware updates via the internet. In order
to successfully update a unit, the ethernet port must be connected to
a working network with internet access and a DHCP server.
To perform a firmware upgrade, turn on the VM4HD while holding the
button. All of the LEDs on the front panel will flash several times
to indicate that firmware upgrade mode is being entered, upon which
the button may be released.
When the firmware upgrade is complete (could take up to 30
minutes), the VM4HD will automatically reboot and resume normal
operation. If after 30 minutes the VM4HD has not resumed normal
operation, power cycle the unit and contact your distributor or
installer for help.
