POWER OVER ETHERNET
The Vaisala vNet PoE Network Interface (vNet
Device), provides easy network connectivity for
your Loggers, eliminating the need for an AC
power source if your network supports Power
over Ethernet.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
vNet Device Drivers must be installed on a PC
with the following minimum configuration:
•Windows XP, Windows Server 2003,
Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or
Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit versions)
•CD-ROM drive
STEP 1: ATTACH HARDWARE
Before you start:
•If your Logger has an internal temperature
Channel, it must be connected to a vNet
Device with a built-in fan mechanism.
•If you are mounting a vNet Device on a wall
to hold a built-in fan mechanism, ensure the
vNet Device is in the upright position (the
arrow on the vNet Device bed pointing up).
To connect a Logger to a vNet Device:
1.
Remove protective label on bottom or
back of the Logger.
2.
Slide the Logger as far right as possible
towards the two tabs before pushing
down into the vNet Device bed (you
should hear a ‘click’).
3.
Insert the power supply (if required),
then connect the vNet Device to the
power supply or Ethernet outlet.
Figure 1Connecting a Logger to a vNet Device
To ensure a secure
connection, insert the
power supply barrel-end
connector into the vNet
Device and turn ¼ to the
right.
If your network supports
Power over Ethernet, you
do not need to connect
an external power
supply.
Figure 2Connecting an external power supply
Note: If your vNet Device hasserial
number 1411xxxx or Firmware v1.4
or higher, and you are running
viewLinc 4.3 or higher, you can
enable the viewLinc Aware Service
to automatically complete device
driver installation, discovery and
configuration. Refer to the vNet
User’s Guide for more information.
STEP 2: INSTALL DRIVERS
Before you start:
•Obtain an IP address for each vNet device.
If you use reserved IP addresses, the
DHCP server must be updated before you
proceed with the installation.
•Modify Firewall settings to allow the
dgrunwiz.exe and dgcfgwiz.exe programs
to receive incoming network connections,
and unblock UDP port 2362 and multi-cast
address 224.0.5.128.

STEP 4: CONFIGURE DEVICE
The vNet device has a web-based vNet
Configuration and Management interface
which allows you to make configuration
changes, restore default settings, and more. It

Note: If you use viewLinc 4.3, this step may
not be required. Refer to the vNet
User’s Guide for more information.
To log in to the vNet configuration interface:
1. From a PC on the same subnet as the vNet
Device, open the Internet browser and enter
the vNet Device IP address or NetBIOS
name, (for example, veriteqxxxxxxxx,where
‘x’ is the serial number).
2. Log in using the default username root and
password, dbps.
3. Use the navigation pane to open the
Configuration | Security page, then enter a
