Initial Device Set-up Process Overview
n
Use the Vaddio Deployment Tool
– Computer application. Use it to scan the subnet to locate Vaddio
devices and identify those that have not been set up, then complete the initial device set-up and go to
the device's web interface. The process is the same for all products.
n
Use the Vaddio Device Controller
– Dedicated web interface appliance. Use it to scan the subnet
and locate Vaddio devices, then exit to the device's web interface to complete the initial device set-up.
The process is the same for all products.
n
Cameras only: Use the EasyIP Decoder or EasyIP Mixer
to locate the camera and access its web
interface. The process for locating the camera depends on the device you use to locate it. The rest of
the product is the same as for other products.
n
Discover the IP address and navigate to the device manually
– The classic method. Discover the
device's IP address and enter it in your browser's address bar to access the web interface. The way
you discover the IP address depends on the device. The rest of the process is the same for all products.
The sequence of tasks for initial device set-up and system administration differs somewhat, depending on
which of these methods you use.
