Software Installation
Step 1: Configure the VPort P06-1MP-M12’s IP address
When the VPort P06-1MP-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

the VPort will be listed in the utility’s window.
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 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 P06-1MP-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

Wiring Requirements
ATTENTION
•
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa VPort P06-1MP-M12.
•
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical 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.
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.
•We strongly advise labeling the wiring to all devices in the system.
