VIP XD

Configuration Using a Web Browser en 45

 

 

CAUTION!

! If you change the IP address, subnet mask or gateway address, the VIP XD is only available under the new addresses after the reboot.

Automatic IP assignment

If a DHCP server is employed in the network for the dynamic assignment of IP addresses, you can activate acceptance of IP addresses automatically assigned to the VIP XD.

Certain applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management System, Archive Player, Configuration Manager) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the unit. If you use these applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is retained each time the system is rebooted.

IP address

Enter the desired IP address for the VIP XD in this field. The IP address must be valid for the network.

Subnet mask

Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the selected IP address here.

Gateway address

If you want the unit to establish a connection to a remote location in a different subnet, enter the IP address of the gateway here. Otherwise leave the box blank (0.0.0.0).

DNS server address

The unit can use a DNS server to trigger an address specified as a name. Enter the IP address of the DNS server here.

Video transmission

If the unit is operated behind a firewall, TCP (HTTP port) should be selected as the transfer protocol. For use in a local network, select UDP.

CAUTION!

!Multicast operation is only possible with the UDP protocol. The TCP protocol does not support multicast connections.

The MTU value in UDP mode is 1,514 bytes.

HTTP browser port

Select a different HTTP browser port from the list if required. The default HTTP port is 80. If you want to allow only secure connections via HTTPS, you must deactivate the HTTP port. In this case, select Off.

HTTPS browser port

If you wish to allow browser access on the network via a secure connection, select an HTTPS browser port from the list if necessary. The default HTTPS port is 443. Select the Off option to deactivate HTTPS ports; only unsecured connections will now be possible.

The VIP XD uses the TLS 1.0 encryption protocol. You may have to activate this protocol via your browser configuration. You must also activate the protocol for the Java applications (via the Java control panel in the Windows control panel).
