CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
ETHERNET (IP) CONTROL
The built-in Ethernet port allows control of the VHD-8 via an Ethernet network (LAN)
from an RTI XP processor. Configuration of the VHD-8 networking is done through a web
interface which is accessible through any web browser
NOTES: For IP control:
• DO NOT use both RS-232 and IP for control simultaneously. Using both control methods
at the same time will affect control reliability.
• The RTI control system must have a two-way driver running on an XP processor.
• The RTI control system and VHD-8 must be connected to the same Ethernet network
(LAN).
CONNECTION TO THE ETHERNET NETWORK
Wire the VHD-8 to the Ethernet network using Cat5 cable with the RJ45 termination and
power the unit on. The network router will assign an IP address to the VHD-8 automatically
and allow it to join the network.
NOTES:
• The VHD-8 is set to use DHCP by default.
• Router must have DHCP enabled.
CONFIGURING THE VHD-8 USING THE WEB INTERFACE
The VHD-8 web interface is accessible via a standard web browser (Chrome
®
, Internet
Explorer
®
, Firefox
®
, Safari
®
etc) on a PC, tablet or smartphone.
The web interface is used for configuring network settings (IP address and Network ID).
ACCESSING THE WEB INTERFACE
To access the web interface, first determine the IP address that was assigned to the VHD-8
by the network router which can be found by looking for UPNP devices on the network.
NOTE: If using Windows XP, you may need to enable viewing of UPNP devices and
“Windows Discovery”.
• Click on My Network Places
• If UPNP devices are not displayed, under Network Tasks, click on “Show icons for
networked UPNP devices”. Click yes to allow the installation wizard.
To view UPNP devices on the network, go to the “network” area in your version of
Windows.
• In the “Computer” tab under the Start Menu.
• Click on “Network”.
• On the right side window, scroll down to “Other Devices”.
• Find the VHD-8 in the list of devices and double click on the icon to open the web
interface.
OR
• The VHD-8 icon will display the IP address it is using. Open a web browser on your PC,
tablet or smartphone and type the IP address into the browser address bar.
