Configuring the VNM Recorder

NOTE:

Initial configuration of the

VNM Recorder requires a mouse, keyboard, and

monitor. When configuration is

complete, it is not necessary to keep these devices

attached to the recorder. The recorder can be completely controlled using the web-

based user interface.

 

Default Network Settings

The VNM Recorder is pre-configured with the following network settings.

IP Address:

192.168.254.254

Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0

Controller IP Address:

192.168.254.254

NOTE:

Using these settings, the VN-Matrix encoder/decoder unit(s) must use

IP addresses within the range 192.168.254.1 through 192.168.254.253 and use the

same subnet mask. The default network settings can also be changed to match an

existing network setup. This is explained in the following sections.

Configuring the Network and IP Address Settings
