Configuration Program

VRT-311 / VRT-311S contains an HTTP server. This enables you to connect to it, and configure it, using your Web Browser. Your Browser must support JavaScript. The configuration program has been tested on the following browsers:

∙Netscape V4.08 or later

∙Internet Explorer V4 or later

Preparation

Before attempting to configure VRT-311 / VRT-311S, please ensure that:

∙Your PC can establish a physical connection to VRT-311 / VRT-311S. The PC and VRT- 311 / VRT-311S must be directly connected (using the Hub ports on VRT-311 / VRT- 311S) or on the same LAN segment.

∙VRT-311 / VRT-311S must be installed and powered ON.

∙If VRT-311 / VRT-311S’s default IP Address (192.168.0.1) is already used by another device, the other device must be turned OFF until VRT-311 / VRT-311S is allocated a new IP Address during configuration.

Using UPnP

If your Windows system supports UPnP, an icon for VRT-311 / VRT-311S will appear in the system tray, notifying you that a new network device has been found, and offering to create a new desktop shortcut to the newly-discovered device.

∙Unless you intend to change the IP Address of VRT-311 / VRT-311S, you can accept the desktop shortcut.

∙Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can always find UPnP devices in My Network Places (previously called Network Neighborhood).
