Configuring VX Server from a PC

Since the Vision VX does not connect directly to a display device, you must connect to the VX using a computer and web browser connected to the same network. Enter vision-vx into your web browser to locate and connect to your vision server from a Windows PC.

The first time you use Vision you may be prompted to select a language. Vision may automatically attempt to connect to the Internet through your home network to register and check for any software updates. If any of these steps fail, simply follow the on screen instructions as you follow the next section.

Configuring Multiple VX Servers

If you have more than 1 VX Server in your Vision system you must rename each server one by one so that they have different network names. Connect, power on, and configure each server ONE AT A TIME and rename each. For example, connect to the first server using vision-vx then rename it to “vx1”.

Repeat the steps for each additional server (connect, power on, and configure)

renaming them: “vx2”, “vx3”, etc....

Language Settings

Select one of the available languages for Vision’s on-screen user interface.

Network Settings

If you connected to your VX using the network name vision-vx you can remotely access and change the default TCP-IP address settings. If your network is setup to dynamically assign IP addresses using DHCP, Vision will automatically detect your network and configure itself. If you want to use static network settings, you will have to manually enter your IP address, subnet mask, router address, and DNS addresses. Follow the on-screen instructions for manually configuring and testing your network settings.

Note: The VX must get an IP address from a DHCP router for initial setup.
