Sample Network Configurations

This section describes some typical installation modes for the VB101.

Be sure to assign a fixed IP address o the VB101.

Sample LAN Environment Configuration

Provide the appropriate server as required:

HTTP (WWW)

SMTP (mail)

Syslog (log)

BOOTP

Server

VB101

Viewer PC

RouterRouter

Viewer PC

This example shows the VB101 connected to a LAN by Ethernet. In this configuration, videos can be seen by viewers in the same Ethernet segment as the VB101 and by viewers with access to that segment.

To send log information such as faults and access statuses by e-mail and save that information to another computer, an SMTP server or a Syslog server is required.

To automatically assign an IP address for the VB101, a BOOTP server is required.

192.168.101.2 is set.

 

 

 

 

This example shows the VB101 connected in a dialup environment. In this configuration, videos

 

can be accessed by viewers which can dial up to the VB101 using a modem.

 

In this situation, a modem card must be inserted into the card slot (use a recommended modem

 

card). PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is used as the network protocol. For information on settings,
