Hardware Installation
4.4. Connecting the Network Cable
The Network Port is an RJ45 Ethernet jack, for connection to a TCP/IP network.
Connect your network cable to the Ethernet Port on the VMR unit. VMR units include
a default IPv4 format IP address (192.168.168.168) and a default IPv4 protocol subnet
mask (255.255.255.0.) When installing the VMR in a working network environment, it is
recommended to define network parameters as described in the WTI Firmware Guide.
Note:
The VMR features a 10/100/1000Base-T auto-negotiating Interface;
speed and duplex mode will be automatically negotiated. When connecting to
an Ethernet interface, most router switches will autosense to determine if the
device is 1000Base-T, 100Base-T or 10Base-T, and then configure the network
interface accordingly. If your router switch does not autosense, the VMR will
auto negotiate speed and duplex mode.
4.5. Emergency Shut Off Function
VMR Series units also include an Emergency Shut Off function, that can be used to
immediately shut off all VMR power outlets in case of emergency. For more information
regarding the Emergency Shut Off feature, please contact WTI Tech Support at
[email protected].
This completes the VMR Hardware Guide. Prior to placing the unit into operation, it is
recommended to refer to the WTI Firmware Guide for important information regarding
advanced configuration options, security functions and more detailed operation
instructions. If you have further questions regarding the VMR unit, please contact WTI
Customer Support as described in Appendix C.
