Overview
The VPort 16-M12 is a compact, fixed-IP camera with EN 50155:2007
compliance that is specially designed for rolling stock CCTV applications.
In addition to the -25 to 55°C operating temperature, IP66 rain and dust
protection, anti-vibration M12 Ethernet connector, Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE), and metal housing with glass lens cover, the VPort 16-M12 also
has a built-in dehumidifying membrane for dissipating moisture trapped
inside the camera and keeping other moisture out. This innovative design
greatly reduces the impact of moisture on the lens.
To provide good video quality, the VPort 16-M12 uses a 1/3" CCD image
sensor and advanced 3D-deinterlacing hardware enhancements, making
it suitable for most lighting conditions. A maximum of 2 H.264 and 1
MJPEG video streams are provided by the VPort 16-M12. In addition,
Moxa’s DynaStream™ function allows you to change the video frame rate
automatically, which can help you control your network bandwidth budget
and ease network system management. The VPort 16-M12 also has a
built-in SDHC slot for installing an SD card to provide up to 32 GB of local
storage.
The VPort 16-M12 supports both surface mounting and embedded
mounting, and for different viewing angles and distance requirements, 5
lens types with focal length from 3 mm to 16 mm are provided. Moreover,
the camera head can be calibrated according to the scale on the camera
and can be rotated 360° horizontally and 90° vertically, and DHCP opt
66/67 is also supported for automatic configuration, making mass
installation a much easier task.

color for panel mounting, and green color for flush mounting).
Step 3: Put VPort 16-M12 on the holes
Panel Mount
S
crew the hex nuts, gaskets and
washers for fixing it. Then
connect the M12
Ethernet cable.
Flush Mount
Put the camera lens on the hole,
and hide the VPort 16
-
M12’s body
behind the ceiling.

- 10 -
Step 4: Loosen the screws of horizontal and vertical lens position.
Then tune the camera lens position by using the marked
calibration or connecting to the VPort 16-M12’s web console for
viewing the video image. After the lens position is correct, fix the
screws.
Step 5: Fix the top cover and then the installation is complete.
Panel Mount
Screw the 4 top cover screws
back.
Flush Mount
Screw the 4 flush mount top screws
(in accessory) on the top cover
NOTE
The 4 flush mount top cover screws canfix VPort 16-M12’s top
cover on ceiling
s with a maximum 5 mm of thickness. You can
find the M4 screws by yourself, or
contact Moxa for special
support if you require longer top screws.
Software Installation
Step 1: Configure the VPort 16-M12’s IP address
When the VPort 16-M12 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
to initiate a search.

- 11 -
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. 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 16-M12 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 16-M12’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.

- 12 -
NOTE
For Windows XP SP2 or above operating systems, the ActiveX
Control component 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 16-M12’s web-based
manager.
After installing the ActiveX Control component, the homepage of the
VPort 16-M12’s web-based manager will appear. Check the following
items to make sure the system was installed properly:
1. Video Images
2. Video Information
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
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa VPort 16
-M12.
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dict
ating 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.
