Assigning an IP Address to the VPort
2100 Series Video Server
In a DHCP Server Networking Environment
The VPort’s IP address is assigned by a DHCP server when the VPort is
connected to a DHCP server network. In this case, use the DHCP Server’s
IP address table or the MOXA VPort Installation Wizard utility to
determine the IP address that was assigned by the DHCP Server.
Note After powering on the VPort, wait a few seconds for the POST
(Power On Self Test) to run. The IP address will be assigned when
the CONNECT LED is lit.
Using the VPort Installation Wizard
1. Install the VPort Installation Wizard, which is located on the Software
CD.
2. Run the VPort Installation Wizard, which will automatically search for
VPort products connected to the same LAN. You can also click the
Search button on the VPort Installation Wizard window to initiate a
new search.
3. When the wizard finishes searching, the MAC address, IP address,

Getting Started
3-5
Assigned (IP assigned status), Model, and Auto IP (indicates whether
or not this VPort has an auto IP assigned function) of the VPort will be
listed in the VPort Installation Wizard window.
4. Select the VPort by checking the box in front of the MAC address.
5. Click the “Link to selected device” button to open the VPort’s web
console via Internet Explorer.
Note The IP assigned status will be listed as Yes if the VPort has been
assigned an IP address. If it is No, please check if there is a
problem with the DHCP network environment, or if the model you
are using does not support the auto IP assigned function.
In a Non-DHCP Server Networking Environment
If your VPort is connected to a network that does not have a DHCP server,
then you will need to configure the IP address manually. There are two
ways to access the server:
1. If one VPort is connected to the network, open your web browser and
type the default IP address in the browser’s address box. In this case,
the default IP address is 192.168.0.99 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.
2. If two or more VPorts are connected to the network, the default IP
addresses are 192.168.0.99, 192.168.0.100, etc. In this case, you can
use the MOXA VPort Installation Wizard utility to determine the
location of each VPort connected to the network. Since the VPort
Installation Wizard searches by MAC address, the VPort and computer
must be connected to the same Ethernet LAN for the VPort Installation
Wizard to locate the VPort.
Note VPort’s Network and Status LEDs can be used to determine if the
VPort is transmitting and receiving data over the network. Refer to
the User’s Manual to see how to interpret the Network and Status
LEDs.
Assigning the IP Address Manually
To change the IP address of the VPort manually, access the VPort’s web
server, and then navigate to the Configuration\ Network page to configure
the IP address and other network settings. Uncheck the “Reset IP address at
next boot” checkbox to ensure that the IP address you assign is not deleted
each time the VPort is restarted.

Accessing VPort 2100 Video Servers
1. Type the IP address in the web browser’s address input box and then
press enter.
2. A window will open asking you to enter the user name and password.
For first time access, you must type root for user name, and the MAC
address (without typing dashes) of that VPort for the password. Click
on OK to continue.
After entering the VPort configuration main page, the administrator can
configure the user name and password for different users to access the
VPort.
3. A Security Warning message will appear next. Click on Yes to install
the plug-in program.
