Product Description of the VPort P16-1MP-M12
Appearance
• Mounting screw (panel mount): 4 nylock M4 screws (40 mm) are
included with the accessory to mount the VPort P16 on the wall or
ceiling; the external length is about 20 mm after installation. The 4
mounting screws can work with the 4 sets of nut, gasket, and spring
washer, or can be screwed directly into the screw holes.
If the length of the mounting screws is insufficient for your
installation environment, you
may use longer M4 screws (not
provided with the product)
, or contact your Moxa sales
representative for customization service.
• Top cover mounting screws: 4 Nylock screws (10 mm) are
included with the accessory for flush mounting the top cover on the
ceiling.
• Top cover: The top cover can be removed for tuning the camera lens
position.
• Lens: The VPort P16-1MP-M12 can be used with 2 different lenses
with different focal lengths: 3.6 mm and 8 mm (Complete model
names include “-CAMxxxxxxx”. See page 2 for details).
• Dome cover: The VPort P16-1MP-M12 comes with a vandal-proof PC
dome cover, which complies with EN 62262 (IEC 62262) class IK10.

The color of the dome cover can be customized based on your
installation environment. Contact your Moxa sales representative
for
information about this customization service.
However, keep
in mind that
the dome cover will decrease the amount of light
transmitted into the lens
. The darker the dome cover, the
greater the decrease of light transmittance.
Bottom View
• PoE & Etherent M12 connector: A 4-pin M12 D-code connecter for
both PoE power supply (Mode A) and Auto MDI/MDI-X Ethernet
connection.
To connect the VPort 16-M12 series to the network, use an
Ethernet cable
with a D-code M12 connector and an M12 PoE
switch or RJ45 PoE switch.

The power input rating of the VPort P16-1MP-M12 is 48V/0.35A,
and the maximum power consumption is about 5 W.
The equipment is designed for installation inside a building, and is
not intended to be exposed to the outdoors.
• Reset button: Loosen the screw and use a pointed stick, such as a
toothpick, to push in the reset button to reboot to factory defaults.
Reboot: press the button once and then release.
Factory default: press and hold the button for at least 5 seconds.
Top View without top cover and dome cover
• Calibration for tuning the horizontal lens position (0 to 350°):
After tuning the horizontal lens position, mark the position with this
calibration for future replacement or mass installations.
• 2 screws for fixing the horizontal lens position: There are 2
screws for fixing the horizontal lens position. A 5.5 kgf-cm torque is
required for onboard environments.
Side view without top cover and dome cover
• 2 screws for fixing the vertical lens position: There are 2 screws
for fixing the vertical lens position. The vertical lens position can be
tuned from 0° to 80°. A 5.5 kgf-cm torque is required for onboard
environments.

Hardware Installation
Step 1: Open and remove the upper case.
Use the security Torx to loosen the screws on the top of the camera
casing.
Step 2: Use the installation sticker for drilling the holes (gray
color for panel mounting, green color for flush mounting).

Step 4: Loosen the screws that fix the horizontal and vertical lens
positions. Next, tune the camera lens position, and connect to the
VPort P16’s web console to view the video image. After the lens
position is correct, fix the screws (5.5 kgf-cm torque is required).
Step 5: Fix the top cover to complete the installation.

The 4 flush mount top cover screws can fix the VPort P16’s top
cover
to ceilings that are 5 mm or less thick. You can provide
the
M4 screws yourself, or contact Moxa for special support if you
require longer top screws.
Software Installation
Step 1: Configure the VPort P16’s IP address
When the VPort P16 is first powered on, the POST (Power On Self Test)
will run for a few moments (about 40 seconds). The network environment
determines how the IP address is assigned.

- 9 -
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 EtherDevice 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
to initiate a search.
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.
3. 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 Environments
If your VPort P16 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 16-M12 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 P16’s web-based manager
Type the IP address in the web browser’s address input box and then
press enter.

Step 3: Install the ActiveX Control Plug-in
A security warning message will appear the first time you access the
VPort’s web-based manager. The message is related to installing the
VPort AcitveX Control component on your PC or notebook. Click Yes to
install this plug-in to enable the IE web browser for viewing video images.
For Windows XP SP2 or above operating systems, the ActiveX
Control componen
t will be blocked for system security reasons.
In this case, the VPort’s security warning message window may
not appear. Users should unlock the ActiveX control blocked
function or disable the security configuration to enable the
installation of the VPort’s ActiveX Control component.
Step 4: Access the homepage of VPort P16’s web-based manager.
After installing the ActiveX Control component, the homepage of the
VPort 16’s web-based manager will appear. Check the following items to
make sure the system was installed properly:
1. Video Images
2. Video Information

- 11 -
Step 5: Access the VPort’s system configuration.
Click on System Configuration to access the overview of the system
configuration to change the configuration. Model Name, Server Name,
IP Address, MAC Address and Firmware Version appear in the green
bar near the top of the page. Use this information to check the system
information and installation.
For details of each configuration, check the User’s Manual on the software
CD.
Wiring Requirements
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa VPort
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all el
ectrical codes dictating the
maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could
overheat, causing serious damage to your 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.
• 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.
