First-Time Installation and
Configuration
Before installing the VPort 461, check to make sure that all items in the
package checklist are in the box. 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 461 can be powered by a DC power input from 12 to 32 VDC, or an
AC power input from 18 to 30 VAC. Two power inputs are provided for
redundancy. Users can check the LED status located in 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 if the power failure alarm is enabled.
NOTE The VPort 461 series supports power input specifications of 12-32
VDC for 12/24 VDC power input, or 18-30 VAC for 24 VAC
power input (note that this is different from Moxa EDS switch’s
12-45 VDC power input).
Step 2: Connect the VPort 461 to a Network
The VPort 461 has two auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports for
network connectivity. Each has a LED indicator located aside for indicating the
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet connections.
NOTE These two Ethernet port can be cascaded in daisy chain link, or
connected to two different switch ports for Ethernet port
redundancy. More than that, they are also switch ports, which
means you can connect a Ethernet device on one of them for saving
the one switch port in the field site.
Step 3: Connect the VPort 461 to cameras and an audio source
The VPort 461 has 1 VIDEO INPUT port. Use the BNC connector (1.0 Vpp,
75Ω) and coaxial cable to connect video cameras to the VPort to input analog
video signals.
The VPort 461 has one audio input and one audio output. A microphone or an
amplifier can be plugged directly into the AUDIO INPUT port, and a speaker
can be plugged into the AUDIO OUTPUT port.
NOTE One VIDEO LED is located on the VPort 461’s front panel to
indicate the video signal transmission status for video input. Check
the LED status to see if the video is working properly.
ATTENTION
A ground loop isolator is recommended to be used between the
camera and the VPort to avoid a sudden current, which is
generated by the electric potential difference between these two
device’s ground power, to burn out the VPort’s chips and boards.

- 7 -
Step 4: Connecting motorized PTZ cameras and serial devices
The VPort 461 has two RS-232/422/485 ports. One is a COM PORT with DB9
male connector, and the other is a PTZ PORT with 5-pin terminal block
connector. Both ports can be used for connecting PTZ control cables for
controlling PTZ cameras over the TCP/IP network.
In addition, the DB9 male COM PORT can also be used to connect general
serial devices, such as card readers, for transmitting serial data over a TCP/IP
network. This port can be used to connect serial devices to the VPort
461instead of a video camera.
To enable PTZ control, users should configure the PTZ control protocol in the
web-based manager.
NOTE The PTZ control protocol is not standardized. To use a particular
PTZ control protocol, the video server must support the driver for
that protocol. Currently, the VPort 461 supports PTZ control
protocol drivers for:
1. Pelco D
2. Pelco P
3. DynaColor DynaDome
4. Yokogawa (Fieldeye)
5. Cohu
If you need to use a protocol that is not on the list, contact the
manufacturer of the camera to get the PTZ control commands, and
then program its PTZ control using the VPort 461’s Custom
Camera function.
NOTE The VPort 461 comes with a PTZ driver upload function for
implementing new PTZ drivers. Please contact a Moxa sales
representative if you need assistance from Moxa’s R&D department
to create a new PTZ driver.
NOTE The “Transparent PTZ Control” function in the camera driver list is
used to transmit the PTZ control signal over a TCP/IP network to
the VPort D361 video decoder or PC (additional driver required).
The PTZ control panel or keyboard can directly control the PTZ
camera or device, eliminating the need for a PTZ camera driver and
allowing the use of PTZ cameras with the VPort encoder.
Step 5: Configure the VPort 461’s IP address
After powering on the VPort 461, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power On
Self Test) to run. The STAT LED turns green to indicate that the POST process
has completed. The IP address will be assigned when the 10/100 Mbps
NETWORK LED blinks. The IP address assigned after the POST is completed
depends on the network environment.
Network Environment with DHCP Server
In this case, the IP address of the VPort 461 is assigned by a DHCP Server.
Use the DHCP Server’s IP address table, or use the Moxa VPort utility to
determine the IP address that was assigned by the DHCP Server.

- 8 -
NOTE After powering on the VPort 461, wait a few seconds for the POST
(Power On Self Test) to run. The IP address will be assigned when
the 10/100 Mbps NETWORK LED blinks.
Using the Moxa VPort and EtherDevice Configurator Utility
(edscfgui.exe)
1. Run the edscfgui.exe program to search for the VPort and EDS switches.
After the Utility window opens, select or click on Broadcast Search, which
is located under the List Server menu, to initiate a search (note that you
can also click on 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.
2. The Broadcast Search window will show a list of all switches and VPorts
located on the network. The progress of the search will also be indicated.

- 9 -
3. When the search has ended, the Model Name, MAC address, and IP
address of the EDS switches and VPorts will be listed in the Utility
window.
NOTE Broadcast Search can only search for devices connected to the
same LAN subnet as the VPort. If your devices are located on a
different LAN subnet, use the “Specify IP Address” function to
search for the device by keying in the IP address.
4. Double click the selected VPort, or use Internet Explorer to access the
VPort’s web-based manager (web console).
Network Environment without a DHCP Server
If your VPort 461 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 461 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 Æ Network Æ General page
to configure the IP address and other network settings. Select the Use fixed IP
address checkbox to ensure that the IP address you assign is not deleted each
time the VPort is restarted.
Step 6: Log on to the VPort 461 web-based manager
Type the IP address in the web browser’s address input box and then press
enter.

- 10 -
Step 7: 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 to your PC or notebook. Click on Yes to install this plug-in
to enable the ability to view video in the IE web browser.
NOTE For Windows XP SP2 or later 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 unblock the ActiveX control function or
disable the security configuration to enable the installation of
VPort’s ActiveX Control component.
Step 8: Accessing the homepage of the VPort 461’s web-based manager
After installing the ActiveX Control component, the homepage of the VPort
461’s web-based manager will appear. Check the following items to make sure
the system was installed properly:
1. Video Images.
2. Audio Sound (make sure your PC’s or notebook’s sound is turned on).
3. Video Information.

- 11 -
Step 9: Accessing 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, Firmware Version, and LED Status 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.
NOTE After accessing the VPort 461’s web-based manager,

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa VPort 461.
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
maximum allowable current 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 items:
yUse 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.
yYou 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.
yKeep input wiring and output wiring separated.
yIt is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
Grounding the Moxa VPort 461
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

100BaseFX Ethernet Port Connection
The concept behind the SC port and cable is quite straightforward. Suppose
that you are connecting devices I and II. Contrary to electrical signals, optical
signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently, one
fiber optic cable is used to transmit data from device I to device II, and the
other fiber optic cable is used transmit data from device II to device I, for
full-duplex transmission.
Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive) port
of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit) port of
device II. If you make your own cable, we suggest labeling the two sides of the
same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown below, or
A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

NOTE Follow these steps to remove the SD card:
Step1: Open the upper case.
Step2: Wait a few seconds to allow the SD card to complete
existing file storing activity.
Step3: If the SD LED indicator is lighted in green, it means the
unmounting of the SD card was successful, and you can
take out the SD card. If the SD LED indicator flashes in
green, it means the unmounting of the SD card failed. At
this point, you can take out the SD card. But you will need
to reboot the VPort 461 to enable the SD card slot function
for future SD cards.
