Installing and Running the XPort Configuration Software
To configure the ETHERNET Port, you have to install and run the XPort
configuration software.
It is important to consider the
following points before logging into and
configuring the ETHERNET Port:
The
VP-1201
IP address must be configured before a network connection
is available
Only one person at a time may be logged into the network port. This
eliminates the possibility of several people simultaneously attempting to
configure the Device Server
Network port logins can be disabled. The system manager will not be able
to access the unit. This port can also be password protected
