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.
