Software Installation
Step 1: Configure the VPort 36-1MP’s IP address.
When the VPort 36-1MP is first powered on, the POST (Power On Self Test) will run for a few moments (about
30 seconds). The network environment determines how the IP address is assigned.
Network Environment with DHCP Server
For this network environment, the unit’s IP address will be assigned by the network’s DHCP server. Refer to the
DHCP server’s IP address table to determine the unit’s assigned IP address. You may also use the Moxa VPort
and Ether Device Configurator Utility (edscfgui.exe), as described below:
Using the Moxa VPort and EtherDevice Configurator Utility (edscfgui.exe)
1. Run the edscfgui.exe program to search for the VPort. After the utility’s window opens, you may also click
on the Search button
2. When the search has been completed, the Model Name, MAC address, IP address, serial port, and HTTP port
of the VPort will be listed in the utility’s window.
to initiate a search.
3. You can double click the selected VPort, or use the IE web browser to access the VPort’s web-based
manager (web server).
Non DHCP Server Network Environment
If your VPort 36-1MP is connected to a network that does not have a DHCP server, then you will need to
configure the IP address manually. The default IP address of the VPort 36-1MP is 192.168.127.100 and the
default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Note that you may need to change your computer’s IP address and
subnet mask so that the computer is on the same subnet as the VPort.
To change the IP address of the VPort manually, access the VPort’s web server, and then navigate to the
System Configuration Network General page to configure the IP address and other network settings.
Check the Use fixed IP address to ensure that the IP address you assign is not deleted each time the VPort
is restarted.
Step 2: Access the VPort 36-1MP’s web-based manager
Type the IP address in the web browser’s address input box and then press enter.

equipment.
You should also pay attention to the following:
• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must
cross make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid
interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
• You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
• We strongly advise labeling the wiring to all devices in the system.

VPort 36-1MP Accessing the VPort’s Web-based Manager
For multicast video stream settings
Client Settings
Users can configure the following functions in Client Settings .
1. Encoder standard: Shows the encoding algorithm currently being used. VPort 36-1MP features 2 built-in
encode engine to generate a maximum of 3 simultaneous video streams. Each client can select the H.264
video streams from Stream 1, or the MJPEG/ H,264 video stream from Stream 2. To configure these video
streams, please go to:
System Configuration/Video/Video Performance .
2. Protocol Options: Choose one of four protocols to optimize your usage—Multicast (RTSP or Push) or
Unicast (UDP, TCP, HTTP).
• Multicast protocol can be used to send a single video stream to multiple clients. In this case, a lot of
bandwidth can be saved since only one video stream is transmitted over the network. However, the
network gateway (e.g., a switch) must support the multicast protocol (e.g., IGMP snooping). Otherwise,
the multicast video transmission will not be successful.
RTSP: Enables the multicast video stream to be sent in RTSP control, which means the multicast video
stream will be sent only if it receives the client’s request.
Push: Enables the multicast video stream to be sent in Push control, which means that after this setting
is selected the multicast video stream will be sent continuously even without any client request.
• Unicast protocol is used to send a single video stream to one client.
UDP can be used to produce audio and video streams that are more real -time. However, some packets
may be lost due to network burst traffic, and images may become blurred.
TCP can be used to prevent packet loss, which results in a more accurate video display. The downside
of using TCP is that the real-time delay is worse than with UDP protocol.
HTTP can be used to prevent being blocked by a router’s firewall. The downside of using HTTP is that the
real-time delay is worse than with UDP protocol.
• Network Interface designates the connection interface for multicast video stream selection. The box lists
the current NIC interfaces. Select which NIC interface will receive multicast streams.
Once the IP camera is connected successfully, Protocol Options will indicate the selected protocol. The selected
protocol will be stored on the user’s PC, and will be used for the next connection.
System Configuration
A button or text link on the left side of the system configuration window only appears on the administrator’s
main page. For detailed system configuration instructions, refer to Chapter 4, System Configuration .
Video Information
Users can easily monitor the current video performance by looking at the Video Information shown on the
left side of the homepage. The following properties are shown: Video Size, Video Quality (Fixed bit rate or Fixed
video quality), Max. FPS (frames per second), and (current) FPS Status. Users can select the target camera
image to view each camera’s video performance.

VPort 36-1MP System Configuration
We strongly recommend that the administrator assign a fixed IP address to the VPort, since all of the functions
and applications provided by the VPort are active when the VPort is connected to the network. Use DHCP to
determine if the VPort’s IP address may change when then network environment changes, or the IP address is
occupied by other clients.
Network
General Network Settings
The General Network Settings page includes some basic but important network configurations that enable
the VPort to be connected to a TCP/IP network.
Access Method
VPort products support the DHCP protocol, which means that the VPort can get its IP address from a DHCP
server automatically when it is connected to a TCP/IP network. The Administrator should determine if it is more
appropriate to use DHCP, or assign a fixed IP.

Auto Configuration
Since configuring a large number of devices one by one can be extremely time-consuming, DHCP Opt 66/67
provides a mechanism whereby configurations can be saved on a TFTP server. Once a new device is installed,
the configurations can be downloaded to this new device automatically. By doing this, the installer can save a
lot of time and effort in mass device installation. Follow the steps below to use the auto-configuration function
via Opt 66/67.
Get the IP address automatically from the DHCP server, and

The VPort 36-1MP supports standard RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) streaming, which means that all
devices and software that support RTSP can directly acquire and view the video images sent from the VPort
36-1MP without any proprietary codec or SDK installations. This makes network system integration much more
convenient. For different connection types, the access name is different. For UDP and TCP streams, the access
name is udpStream . For HTTP streams, the access name is moxa-cgi/udpstream_ch<channel number> .
For multicast streams, the access name is multicastStream_ch<channel number> . You can access the
media through the following URL: rtsp://<IP address>:<RTSP port>/<Access name> for software
that supports RTSP.

Multicast
The VPort 36-1MP supports the advanced Multicast network protocol IGMP, which can greatly improve the
efficiency of network traffic. In this section, we explain multicasts, multicast filtering, and how multicast can be
implemented on your VPort.
What is Multicast?
A multicast is a packet that is intended for “one-to-many” and “many-to-many” communication. Users
explicitly request to participate in the communication by joining an end-station to a specific multicast group. If
the network is set up correctly, a multicast can only be sent to an end-station or a subset of end-stations on a
LAN or VLAN that belongs to the relevant multicast group. Multicast group members can be distributed across
multiple subnetworks. Therefore, multicast transmissions can occur within a campus LAN or over a WAN. In
addition, networks that support IP multicast send only one copy of the desired information across the network.
The packets are only replicated if they reach a network node that links to two or more members of the multicast
network. Transmitting packets in this way makes more efficient use of network bandwidth. A multicast packet
is identified by the presence of a multicast group address in the destination address field of the packet’s IP
header.
2nd FTP Server is a backup in case the 1st FTP Server fails to connect or has trouble sending files.

Benefits of Multicast
The benefits of using IP multicast are that it:
• Enables the simultaneous delivery of information to many receivers in the most efficient, logical way.
• Reduces the load on the source (for example, a server) because it does not need to produce multiple copies
of the same data.
• Makes efficient use of network bandwidth and scales well as the number of participants or collaborators
expands.
• Works with other IP protocols and services, such as Quality of Service (QoS).
There are situations where a multicast approach is more logical and efficient than a unicast approach. A typical
use of multicasts is in video-conferencing, in which high volumes of traffic need to be sent to several
end-stations simultaneously, but for which broadcasting that traffic to all end-stations would seriously reduce
network performance. Several industrial automation protocols, such as Allen-Bradley, EtherNet/IP, Siemens
Profibus, and Foundation Fieldbus HSE (High Speed Ethernet), use the multicast approach. These industrial
Ethernet protocols use publisher/subscriber communications models by multicasting packets that could flood a
network with heavy traffic. IGMP provides the ability to prune multicast traffic so that it travels only to those
end destinations that require the traffic, thus reducing the amount of traffic on the Ethernet LAN.
VPort 36-1MP System Configuration
The VPort 36-1MP is the source that delivers the multicast video stream. To benefit from the Multicast protocol,
the gateway or network switch should support the multicast filtering function (such as IGMP Snooping) so that

Accessible IP List
The VPort uses an IP address-based filtering method to control access to the VPort.
Accessible IP Settings allow you to add or remove “Legal” remote host IP addresses to prevent unauthorized
access. Access to the VPort is controlled by IP address. That is, if a host’s IP address is in the accessible IP table,
then the host will be allowed access to the VPort. Administrators can allow one of the following cases by setting
this parameter:
• Only one host with a specific IP address can access the VPort. Enter “IP address/255.255.255.255” (e.g.,
192.168.1.1/255.255.255.255)
• Hosts on a specific subnet can access the VPort. Enter “IP address/255.255.255.0” (e.g.,
“192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0”)
• Any host can access the VPort. Disable this function.

SNMP
The VPort 36-1MP supports three SNMP protocols. The available protocols are SNMP V1, SNMP V2c, and SNMP
V3. SNMP V1 and SNMP V2c use a community string match for authentication, which means that SNMP servers
access all objects with read-only or read/write permissions using the community string public/private (default
value). SNMP V3, which requires you to select an authentication level of MD5 or SHA, is the most secure
protocol. You can also enable data encryption to enhance data security. SNMP security modes and security
levels supported by the VPort are shown in the following table. Select one of these options to communicate
between the SNMP agent and manager.

with the AGC control circuit and AGC may need to be switched off.
This function changes the black level of the image. Higher settings
make the image brighter, and lower settings will make the image

The VPort 36-1MP can send a maximum of three simultaneous video streams: two H.264 and one MJEPG. In
fact, the VPort 36-1MP has two encoder engines. The first encoder engine can generate one completely
independent H.264 video stream, which means that its resolution, FPS, and video quality can be configured
independently. The second encoder engine can generate one H.264 video stream and one MJPEG video stream.
Because both the H.264 and MJPEG video streams come from the same encoder engine, their resolutions must
be the same, but the FPS and the Video Quality can be configured separately. The administrator can set the

Frame rate (frames per second) is determined by the resolution, image data size (bit rate), and transmission
traffic status. The Administrator and users can check the frame rate status in the FPS Status on the VPort’s web
homepage.
The VPort 36-1MP supports a maximum of three simultaneous video streams, and the FPS will be affected when
all three video streams are enabled. If the video quality is set very high for all three video streams, the total FPS
for the three streams combined is about 75. We strongly recommended that you configure these three video
streams based on specific requirements to optimize video performance.
The image quality, FPS, and bandwidth are influenced significantly by network throughput, system network
bandwidth management, application

DynaStreamTM
DynaSteamTM is a unique and innovative function that allows for adaptive frame rates in response to events on
the network, such as event triggers and system commands. When network traffic becomes congested,
DynaStream™ allows VPort products to respond to CGI, SNMP, and Modbus commands from SCADA systems
(as well as the MxNVR-MO4’s VMD, DI, CGI events, and video loss triggers) and automatically decrease the
frame rates to reduce bandwidth consumption. This reserves bandwidth for the SCADA system to maintain
Quality of Service (QoS) and guarantees that the SCADA performance will not be impacted by video traffic. For
example, the frame rate can be set low during regular streaming to reduce bandwidth usage and automatically
switched to a high frame rate during triggered events to ensure quick transmission of critical video data or
video streams, or to provide detailed visual images for problem analysis.

The administrator can adjust the number of frames per second for each channel. There are two types of frame
rate status: Live and Alarm. Live status refers to the normal frame rates for live video displays. Alarm status
refers to what the frame rate will be adjusted to when the DynaStream function is activated.
Currently, the video stream for DynaStream is only set up for H.264 video streams, and the resolution and
quality are the same as for the settings in the Video Performance configuration.

Q: Why is the timestamp different
A: The timestamp is based on the system time of the IP camera. It is maintained by an internal real
clock, and automatically synchronizes with the time server if the video encoder is connected to the

Q: How can I keep the IP camera as private as possible?
A: The IP camera is designed for surveillance purposes and has many flexib
authentication and special confirmation when installing can keep the video encoder from unauthorized
access. You may also change the HTTP port to a non-public number. Check the system log to examine any
abnormal activities and trace
Q: Why can’t I access the IP camera when I set up some options in the application?
A: When the IP camera is triggered by events, video and snapshots will take more time to write to memory.
If the events occur too often, the system will always be busy storing video and images. We recommend
using sequential mode or an external recorder program to record motion pictures if the event is frequent.
If you prefer to retrieve images by FTP, the value could be smaller since an FTP server responds
quickly than a web server. Once the system is too busy to configure, use the restore factory default and
