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 concluded, 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. Users 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: Accessing the VPort 36-1MP’s web-based manager

Type the IP address in the web browser’s address input box and then press enter.

Wiring Requirements

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.

• It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system when necessary.

NOTE

For multicast video stream settings, please refer to

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 built-in 2

encode engine to generate a maximum of three 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: Enable the multicast video stream to be sent in RTSP control, which means the multicast video

stream will be sent only it receives the client’s request.

 Push: Enable 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 streams 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.

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.

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.

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.

Video Performance

The VPort 36-1MP can send a maximum of three simultaneously 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 H.264 video stream,

and this H.264 video stream is a completely independent video stream, which means 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 resolution must be the same, but the FPS and the Video Quality can be configured

separately. The administrator can set the Resolution, Max. Frame Rate and Video Quality on this web page.

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 (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 switch 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.

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 more

quickly than a web server. Once the system is too busy to configure, use the restore factory default and

reset button to save the system.
