VNM Enterprise Controller • Setup Guide (Continued)

a.Configure the network settings of a control PC so that it is using an IP address within 192.168.254.1 to 192.168.254.253 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Connect the control PC to the VN-Matrix network.

b.Open a web browser on the control PC and type in the

IP address of the VNM Enterprise Controller into the address bar (for example, http://192.168.254.254). The login screen appears in the browser (see figure 2).

c.Enter the appropriate username and password.

NOTE: The default username is admin. By default,

no password is required. Entries are case sensitive.

d.Click Login or press the <Enter> key. The Devices page appears (see figure 3).

e.From the Devices page, click the Configuration tab. The Configuration page appears.

f.From the Configuration page, click the Network link (see figure 4).

g.Change the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway fields as necessary. The MTU field does not need to be changed. Click Apply Changes, located at the lower right corner of the web page, to save the configuration. The VNM Enterprise Controller restarts. The controller network settings are properly configured after powering up.

h.Configure the IP address of the control PC so that it is within the address range of the VNM Enterprise Controller.

NOTE: Complete this step only if the IP address of the

VNM Enterprise Controller is using a network prefix or subnet other than 192.168.254.xxx.

i.If necessary, restart the control PC to save the configuration.

Step 6 — Set Up the VNM Enterprise Controller as the System Controller

a.Click the Configuration tab. The Configuration page appears (if login is required, follow steps 5b through 5e).

b.From the Configuration page, click the System config link (see figure 5).

c.From the Protocol drop-down menu, select the transport protocol that will be used throughout the VN-Matrix system.

NOTES: The default transport protocol is unicast.

Unicast supports up to four simultaneous streams from a single encoder.

TCP supports a single stream from a single encoder.

Multicast supports a single stream that can be used by multiple decoders. This protocol requires a network that supports Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping for correct operation.

d.Ensure that the Clean Switch option is checked to enable smooth transitions when switching between VN-Matrix 200 / 225 device streams.

 

NOTE: VN-Matrix 300 / 325 devices do not support

 

 

 

Clean Switch and will ignore this setting.

 

 

e.

If necessary, clear the Controllers field by highlighting the

 

 

 

displayed IP addresses and clicking Delete.

 

 

f.

Click Add. Enter the IP address of the VNM Enterprise

 

 

 

Controller (use the IP address that was created in step 5g)

 

 

 

into the window that appears and click OK.

 

 

g.

Save the configuration by clicking Apply Changes, located at

 

 

 

the lower right corner of the web page. The VNM Enterprise

 

 

 

Controller restarts the web-based user interface and is
