Operating Environment

This product includes all of the following items. If any item should be missing, please contact your local
dealer.

VN-C2WU main unit

Ferrite core

Instruction manual (this document)

The environment described below is necessary for operation of the VN-C2WU.

A personal computer running the following WWW browser software:

WWW browser software that is compatible with JavaScript or Frame. Netscape 4.0 or higher,
or Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher, is required.
CPU performance and memory capacity should be the recommended values for the WWW
browser software used. To ensure the smooth display of animated images on a large screen,
these values should be even larger than those recommended.
Also, images from the camera will not be correctly displayed in the 256-color mode, etc.

• In the case of Internet Explorer, an environment in which JAVA can be executed correctly is
necessary.

LAN environment

The VN-C2WU operates as a web browser using HTTP protocol.
Access linking by host name is possible with an environment able to use DNS (Domain Name
System).

The VN-C2WU and a personal computer can be connected directly at 1: 1 by using cross
cables. (Although rare, the use of cross cables is not possible with some LAN boards.)

Caution

The standard used for connection to the VN-C2WU is 10BASE-T.

To ensure correct usage

When installing, avoid the following.

• Locations subject to rain and water.

• Locations where the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 0 to +40 °C.

• Locations with vibration.

• Locations with excessive dust, oil or gas.

When this product is used with AGC on (camera setting: Auto), sensitivity will be increased
automatically in dark places and the screen may flicker in some cases. This is not a
malfunction.

When the color balance of this product is used with the camera setting at Auto, in some
cases the recorded colors may differ slightly from the natural colors due to the principle of
the automatic tracking color balance circuit.

When any bright object such as a lamp, etc., is photographed, white bands may appear
above and below the bright object. This is called smearing, a phenomenon caused by the
characteristics of the individual pixels, and is not a malfunction.

individual units. (If the power is not turned on, the installation operation can be performed at one time.)

1. Install the VN-C2WU.

Only in cases of installation in a location where the power cannot easily be turned on, complete
steps 2 to 4 before installing.

2. Connect the VN-C2WU to a network.

(With the VN-C2WU power turned on.)

3. Set the VN-C2WU IP address.

When setting the VN-C2WU IP address, be sure to contact the network manager for assignment

Caution

2. Connecting to a network
(Ethernet, Fast Ethernet through Auto negotiation HUB).

Turn on the power of only one VN-C2WU unit.
When network connection is completed and the power is turned on, the VN-C2WU unit will be
connected to the network at the following IP address.

Factory set (Default) IP address : 192.168. 0. 2

All VN-C2WU units are set to the same IP address at the factory; therefore, if
the power of multiple VN-C2WU units is turned on at the same time, correct
access will not be possible. Always turn the power on for only one unit at a
time. If duplication occured, perform the proper processing, wait for 10 min. or
more or turn off the power of all units on the network and then turn the power
on again; otherwise, correct access will not be possible.

When connecting to a HUB, use a straight cable.
