installation and it is connected to your network, try the following:
l
Access the appliance from your web browser using the URL https:// VMA-RPO-4Px<serial number>
l
Use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to determine the IP address for the device:
1. Locate and copy down the MAC Address (MAC) listed on the Serial Number Tag for reference.
2. Open a Command Prompt window and enter the following command:
arp -a
3. Scroll through the response and look for the IP address corresponding to the MAC address.

information see
Installing and Starting the ACC Client
2. Log into the site that uses this naming convention: VMA-PRO-4Px<serial number>.
Note:
The username and password for the Web Interface application is separate from
the administrator username and password for the ACC Server.
3. Display the server Setup tab.
At the top of the window, the recorder IP address is displayed.
4. Open a web browser and enter the IP address in this format:
https://
<IP address>
.
5. Continue the remaining steps for installing the recorder.
Network Configuration
By default, the ACC ES HD Recorder acquires an IP address on the network through DHCP. If you need to
set up the ACC ES HD Recorder to use a static IP address or any specific network configuration, see
the
Connecting the Device to Users and Cameras
for more information.
Checking System Health
You can check on the health of the system components in the Site Health in the ACC Client software. See
