to get the recorded data automatically into a user accessible database.
The following checklist can be used to setup this Tunnel connection:
1)
Install the Hardware (see page 2).
2)
Install the V-Archive software on a PC and enable V-Tap connections (see page 3).
3)
Open the Settings page of the V-Tap in a browser by entering

are the last 4 digits of the MAC address, found on the bottom (see page 2).
It may take up to a minute after first connect, before this local name is known to the PC.
