6. Advance Network Setting
6.1 Connecting to the network
Note: To connect the VPON to an existing LAN,set up by using the supplied IrDA remote control first.
1.
Connect an Ethernet-capable computer to the VPON LAN port using an RJ-45 UTP cable or connect
both of the PC and VPON to a same hub.
2. The default IP address for the VPON is 192.168.10.10. Set your PC IP address to 192.168.10.xxx
(where xxx is a value between 0 ~ 254). Set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
3. Reboot
the
PC.
4. Use IE Web browser version 60. SP2 up to access http://192.168.10.10. The login dialog box will
appear. If you have previously changed the administration login or password, enter the login name
and password you previously set. Otherwise, enter the default login name “webmonitor” and the
password “oyo” then click OK.
5.
For first time accessing VPON, you will be prompted to install Live Video ActiveX. Download and
run the file to install ActiveX. Then restart IE browser, you will be able to see the videos. If you
choose not to install Active X, you can view videos from the VPON by clicking on the View Video
without Plugins link at the bottom of the page. At the prompt, enter the same administrator login
name and password as before. This uses a Java applet to display the video.
6.2 Configuring Static IP addresses
Static IP addresses can be public or private. Public IP addresses allow access to the VPON from the
Internet. Private IP addresses only allow users on the same LAN to access the VPON (regardless of
whether the LAN is connected to the Internet or not). Ask your network administrator to assign an
appropriate IP address.
6.3 Configuring Dynamic IP addresses
If your LAN or Internet connection uses DHCP, the VPON needs to be registered with a registry server.
Users wanting to view your VPON can access the registry server to find the IP address. By default, the
VPON is set to be registered at http://registry.nfic.com.tw. This is a server set up by Formosa21 for
VPON series users. If you wish to set up a different registry server, Formosa21 recommends using a
VP-300 video server, although other servers may be used. See your network administrator for instructions
on selecting a registry server.
The Registry Host Address, Registry HTTP Port and Registry Host Path in system Configuration under
“Advance Settings” are the set to the default settings of the Formosa21 registry server. The Registry Host
Address is the IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the registry server.
The Registry Host Path is the file path on the registry server where the index exists. See your network
administrator for assignment of these values if you want to make changes.
