Conguring 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.
Conguring the Network and IP Address Settings
Use the following procedure to change the network settings on the VNM Recorder.
