Installing and Running the XPort Configuration Software

To configure the ETHERNET Port, you have to install and run the XPort

configuration software.
It is important to consider the

following points before logging into and

configuring the ETHERNET Port:

The

VP-1201 IP address must be configured before a network connection

is available
Only one person at a time may be logged into the network port. This

eliminates the possibility of several people simultaneously attempting to

configure the Device Server
Network port logins can be disabled. The system manager will not be able

to access the unit. This port can also be password protected
