Initial Setup — After You Connect to a Network
After the low-level configuration described on page 2, system configuration and operation is via the network interface of the unit
designated as the controller. Built-in HTML pages, which can be viewed by any web browser, such as Mozilla
®
Firefox
®
, version 1.3 or
newer (preferred), or Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
, version 6.0 or newer, provide access to various system parameters.
NOTE
: Whichever browser you use, it must be configured to accept cookies and be JavaScript-enabled.
Startup and Login
1.
After you have made all network connections, cycle power on each VN-Matrix 300 unit to ensure that the other network
components, such as hubs and switches recognize the power up of the units and begin exchanging data with them.
2.
Connect a computer to the same network as the VN-Matix 300 device that is configured as the controller.
NOTE
: The computer must be on the same subnet as the VN-Matrix 300 units
3.
In the web browser, enter the IP address of the VN-Matrix 300 unit that is configured as the
controller into the address bar of the web browser (
c
in the figure at right).
4.
Press
5.
Enter the Username and Password (
e
in the figure at right).
NOTES
:
•
The VN-Matrix 300 devices have two user accounts (usernames):
z
admin — allows full read/write access to all setup parameters,
z
public — allows read-only access to setup parameters.
•
As shipped from the factory, the password for both accounts is the same as the user name (the password is
“admin” for the admin user account and “public” for the public account).
•
The username and password are case sensitive.
•
For the initial setup, use the admin username.
6.
Click the Login button (
f
, above) or press
This page lists all VN-Matrix devices that are connected to the system controller.
Configure the Units as Encoders or Decoders
A typical VN-Matrix 300 network includes an encoder
(source), a decoder (display), and a controlling PC.
The Mode column on the Device List tab shows how
each VN-Matrix 300 unit is configured using the
following icons:
= Encoder
= Decoder
= Recorder
= Undefined
NOTES
:
• The VNM Recorder is not documented
in this guide. Inclusion in this list is for
reference only.
• The VND 300 is a decoder only and its configuration cannot be changed.
• The device list may show more devices than are in your system. This is because the controller maintains a list of devices
that have been used in the past and are not currently available. In this case, the IP address entry for that device is blank.
Configure the devices as encoders or decoders as follows.
1.
On the Device List tab, click anywhere on the row (except the Delete column) for the device to be configured (
a
in the image
below). This selects that device and displays the device page (shown on page 4).
