IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway and Port number settings must be set to suit your network system.1.

Consult your system administrator before setting IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway and Port number to 2. avoid troubles, if conﬁguring the system in an existing LAN.

The MVM cannot establish connections to multiple PCs via LAN.3.

Release the port on the MVM when terminating the control from the PC, so that the MVM can establish a 4.

connection again to the PC or to another PC.

It takes approxmately 10 seconds to release port2000 on MVM after port2000 (for image data transmission) is 5.

released on the computer, and during this period you cannot establish a connection.

The command port (port2010) automatically closes the socket connection to the computer if the socket 6. connection is left unused for 5 seconds.
