Getting Started

Installation Location

The VDI-604 can be positioned at any convenient place in your office or house. No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed. However, you should comply with the following guidelines:

ƒPlace the VDI-604 on a flat horizontal plane.

ƒKeep away from any heating devices.

ƒDo not place in a dusty or wet environment.

The recommended operational specifications of the VDI-604 are:

Temperature

32o F

~

131o F

Humidity

5 %

~

90 %

In addition, remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you install the hardware.

Network Settings

To use the VDI-604 correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your computers. The default IP address of the VDI-604 is 192.168.0.1, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed as needed, but the default values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been configured, you can refer to Configuring Your PCs to Connect to the VDI-604to configure it.

For example:

1.Configure your computer IP as 192.168.0.3, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.0.1

Or more conveniently

2.Configure your computers to obtain TCP/IP settings automatically from the DHCP server feature of the VDI-604

Since the IP address of the VDI-604 is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of your computer must be 192.168.0.X (where “X” is a number between 2 and 254.) Each computer on your network must have a different IP address within that range. The default gateway must be 192.168.0.1 (the IP address of the VDI-604).
