Accessing VPort 2140 Video Server for the First Time

In Null Modem Mode

Administrators can connect to http://200.1.1.1 from the web browser directly via the null modem cable. 200.1.1.1 is VPort’s default IP address for the dial-up connection; and 200.1.1.100 is the IP address assigned by VPort to the user’s PC. The user name and password are the same as what were entered during the software installation. After successful authentication, administrators should see the motion pictures on the main page. When using Microsoft Internet Explorer, administrators must allow the installation of a plug-in provided by the VPort prior to viewing motion pictures.

In Modem Mode

To dial the VPort, you need to establish a dial-up connection with the PC, in which the dial-up phone number is the same as the phone line connected to the VPort. After the connection is successfully established, open the Web browser and link to http://200.1.1.1. In this case, the VPort runs as a dial-up server and assigns the IP address of 200.1.1.100 to the PC at the other end. When the authentication message window appears, type root for user name and use VPort’s serial number for the default password. The point-to-point connection allows users to connect to the VPort for surveillance purpose at any time.

After the connection is successfully established, follow the instructions described in the next chapter, Accessing VPort 2140 Video Server for the First Time.
