Network Connections
The VNM 250 series units have two separate network
connectors: one for the control network (LAN 1) and the
other for the streaming network (LAN 2). Each port has
its own IP address.
The control port (LAN 1) is not required for normal
operation. When necessary, this port may be used to
enable control by a third‑party control system.
The streaming port is the primary network connection.
All media and device communication is delivered over
this network link. To connect to the streaming network,
use either the rear panel LAN 2 RJ‑45 connector or SFP
(fiber optic) connector.
NOTE: By default, only the LAN 2 RJ‑45 connector is populated and available for use.
If an SFP connector is required, it must be purchased and installed by the user. When
installed, the SFP connector becomes the active port and the RJ‑45 connection is
inactive. Both of the LAN 2 ports share the same IP address.
