Overview

The VPort D351 is a 1-channel video decoder used to decode MJPEG/MPEG4
video streams (received from a VPort series video encoder and IP camera) back
to an analog video signal. The analog video signal can be sent to legacy CCTV
devices, such as monitors, multiplexer, and matrix switches, allowing these to
retain their original purpose in the CCTV system. In addition, bi-directional
audio enables ready-to-use voice over IP communication between the video
encoder and decoder.

In order to make camera monitoring more convenient for large CCTV systems,
the VPort D351 can be set up to switch between different video sources
manually, or automatically within a given time interval. A maximum of 64
video sources can be added to the switching camera list. In addition, users can
use the 2 DIs located on the top panel to build 2 control buttons for up and
down video source selection.

First-Time Installation and
Configuration

Before installing the VPort D351, check to make sure that all items in the
package checklist are present. In addition, you will need access to a notebook
computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port.

Step 1: Select the Power Source

The VPort D351 can be powered by a 12 to 32 VDC power input, or an 18 to
30 VAC power input. Two power inputs are provided for redundancy. Users
can check the LED status located on the front panel to see if the power inputs
are connected appropriately. If one of the power inputs fails, the FAULT LED
will light up in red.

NOTE

The VPort D351 supports 12-32 VDC for a 12/24 VDC power
input, or 18-30 VAC for a 24 VAC power input. This differs from
the 12-45 VDC power input supported by Moxa’s EDS series of
Ethernet switches.

Step 2: Connect the VPort D351 to a network

The VPort D351 has an auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port for
network connectivity. LEDs to indicate 10/100 Mpbs data transmission are
provided for both the RJ45 port and fiber optic ports.

Step 3: Connect the VPort D351 to an audio source (if required)

The VPort D351 supports 1 AUDIO INPUT and 1 AUDIO OUTPUT. A
microphone or an amplifier can be plugged directly into the AUDIO INPUT
port; a speaker can be plugged into the AUDIO OUTPUT port.

Step 4: Connect the VPort D351 to a video output source

The VPort D351 supports 1 VIDIO OUTPUT for transmitting analog video.
Connect the video output source, such as CCTV monitor or switch, to the BNC
connector to show the analog video.

Step 5: Connect the VPort D351 to a control panel or keyboard to control
the motorized PTZ Camera/Device (if required)

If a motorized PTZ camera or device is used at the VPort encoder site, users
can connect the PTZ control panel or keyboard to the VPort D351’s PTZ port
to control the motorized PTZ camera or device directly once the connection
between the VPort D351 and the VPort encoder is ready. The PTZ port uses a
5-pin terminal block for the RS-232/422/485 serial connection. T he pin
assignments are shown in the following table.

NOTE

The VPort D351 supports Transparent PTZ control, which means
that the VPort D351 can connect directly to the PTZ control panel
or keyboard to control the remote PTZ camera connected to the
VPort encoder. Since the PTZ control protocol is not standardized,
the PTZ control panel and keyboard must support the control of
PTZ cameras.

NOTE

Currently, VPort encoders support PTZ control protocol drivers
for:

1. Pelco D

2. Pelco P

3. DynaColor DynaDome

In addition, there is an item named “Transparent PTZ Control” in
the camera driver list. This is used to transmit the PTZ control
signal over the TCP/IP network to the VPort D351 video decoder,
so that the PTZ control panel or keyboard can directly control the
PTZ camera or device. Using this method eliminates the need for a
PTZ camera driver. In addition, you will be able to use any PTZ
camera with your VPort encoders.

Step 6: Configure the VPort D351’s IP address

After powering on the VPort D351, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power
On Self Test) to run. The POST process is complete once the STAT LED turns
green. The IP address will be assigned when the 10 or 100 Mbps NETWORK
LED blinks. The value of the IP address that is assigned is based on the
network environment.

Network Environment with DHCP Server

When a DHCP server is present, the IP address of the VPort D351 is assigned
by the DHCP server. Use the DHCP server’s IP address table, or use the Moxa
VPort and Ether Device Configurator utility to determine the IP address that
was assigned by the DHCP server.

NOTE

After powering on the VPort D351, wait a few seconds for the
POST (Power On Self Test) to run. The IP address will be assigned
when the 10 or 100 Mbps NETWORK LED blinks.

Using Moxa VPort and EtherDevice Configurator Utility (edscfgui.exe)

1. Run the edscfgui.exe program to search for VPorts and EDS switches.

After the Utility window opens, select or click on Broadcast Search under
the List Server menu, or click on the Broadcast Search icon

to

initiate a search.

NOTE

You may download the VPort and EtherDevice Configurator
software from Moxa’s website at www.moxa.com.
