VTX-WM1 Installation Guide v1.1

IP addresses and address allocation
Every amplifier to be connected to the 

computer network must be given a unique IP 
(Internet Protocol) address. If the amplifiers 
are to be connected to a building’s IT 

infrastructure, the installer MUST check with 
the IT administrator to determine which 
addresses are available for use BEFORE 
configuring the amplifiers’ VTX-WM1 cards.

IMPORTANT: Do not connect any amplifiers 
to the Ethernet network until the addresses of 

their VTX-WM1 cards have been individually 
set. Connecting more than one device with 
the same IP address onto a network will have 

anomalous and unpredictable results and may 
produce havoc for the other network users!

The VTX-WM1 card’s default IP address is 

192.168.0.127. If only one amplifier is to be 

connected for monitoring, you may leave this 
address unchanged and ignore much of the 
following procedure, provided that this specific 
address will be available on the network.

If multiple amplifiers are to be monitored, one 

(but only one) amplifier may retain this default 
address, again subject to its availability.

Server allocation
Once all the amplifiers have been configured, 

it will be possible to address the entire system 
– i.e. all amplifiers – by entering any of the IP 
addresses in use into the browser’s URL field. 
The amplifier whose IP address is used will 
then act as a server for all the amplifiers in the 

system.

Entering site and amplifier 

information

Once all the amplifiers have been reinstalled in 
the rack together with the Ethernet switch and 

network cabling, each amplifier comprising the 
system may be individually configured:

1.  Disconnect all the amplifiers except one 

from the Ethernet switch. Also disconnect 
the switch from the building’s IT network. 
Turn all the amplifiers on.

2.  Connect a computer to the Ethernet 

switch and launch its normal Internet 
browser.

3.  Type the default address 

http://192.168.0.127 into the URL field of 
the browser, and the 

Home

 page shown 

below should appear:

 

The amplifier type listed in the 

Model

 

column should be that of the amplifier 

being addressed. 

4.  Next, click the 

Config

  tab, which will give 

the screen shown below:
