NOTE: If the VNM Recorder is the controller device,

the IP address must be appended with the port

number that is used as the web server (for example, http://192.168.254.254:8090).

b.Enter the appropriate username and password.

NOTE: By default, these are both set to admin. These entries are case sensitive.

c.Click Log In or press the <Enter> key. The Device List page
