Overview
The VPort 36-2L rugged 1080P (1920 x 1080) box IP cameras are
specifically designed for mission-critical and extreme weather
environments. The cameras have two types of built-in P-iris zoom lenses,
3 to 9 mm and 10 to 23 mm. They support remote zoom and focus control
via an IP network, providing convenience and simplicity for camera
operation, and feature a wide -40 to 75°C operating temperature range
(-T models) and industrial-grade EMC (EMI/ Surge Level 3) protection.
The VPort 36-2L cameras are suitable for industrial and outdoor
environments such as oil & gas, rail, and ITS applications. In addition, the
VPort 36-2L supports a light sensor and ICR (IR-cut filter removable) for
day and night viewing, advanced WDR (wide dynamic range), and DNR
(digital noise reduction), allowing the VPort 36-2L to produce good quality
images even in extreme sunlight conditions.

seconds, until the STAT LED turns green. Configuring the factory
defaults should take about 90 seconds.
Reboot:Press and hold the button for at least 30 seconds until
the STAT LED flashes red. At this point, the VPort will initiate the
reboot process.
•Light Sensor: there is a light sensor beside the lens, which is to

NOTE
The VPort 36-2L can be powered by a 12 VDC, 24 VDC, or 24 VAC
input or
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE, 802.3af). Input rating is

Software Installation
Step 1: Configure the VPort 36-2L’s IP address
When the VPort 36-2L is first powered on, the POST (Power On Self Test)
will run for a few moments (about 90 seconds). The network environment
determines how the IP address is assigned.

Network Environment with DHCP Server
When DHCP is active, 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 Environment
If your VPort 36-2L 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 36-2L 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 option to ensure that the IP address you
assign is not deleted each time the VPort is restarted.
Step 2: Accessing the VPort 36-2L’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.
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 enab
le the
installation of the VPort’s ActiveX Control component.
Step 4: Access the homepage of the VPort 36-2L’s web-based
manager.
After installing the ActiveX Control component, the homepage of the
VPort 36-2L’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.

NOTE
Strongly recommend to enable the authentication in System/
Account privilege for
better cyber security protection. The
administrator's account name is "admin
” and the default
password is "moxamoxa". Please change the default password for
better protection.
Grounding VPort 36-2L
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.

Wiring Requirements
SAFETY FIRST!
•
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa VPort 36-2L.
•
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.
•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.
NOTE
•This equipment is intended for use in locations with restricted
access such as computer rooms. Access to the equipment
should be restricted to SERVICE PERSONS or USERS who are
trained and
authorized to use this equipment. Furthermore,
access to the equipment should be restricted by the use of a
key, or a user identification system. Only authorized,
well-trained professionals should be given access to the
restricted area where the equipment is in operation.
•
External metal parts are HOT!!
Personnel who have access to this equipment should be
made aware of the hot surface of the equipment. They must
not touch the metal chassis of the equipment without proper
protection.
