  • Page 2: Package Checklist

    Overview The VPort 461A is a 1-channel Industrial Video Encoder with H.264/MJPEG video compression. The H.264 algorithm provides the best video quality on the market today with lower bandwidth requirements than other video compression standards. In addition, to meet requirements for multiple video streams, the VPort 461A can provide up to 3 video streams simultaneously with H.264 and MJPEG compression.
  • Page 3 • Supports standard RTSP (Real-time streaming protocol) for easy integration. • Supports multicast (IGMP) protocols for efficient network transmission. • Supports QoS (TOS) for priority transmission. • Supports SNMP V1/V2c/V3 for network management. • Built-in web server and RS-232 console for remote access and configuration.

    FAULT LED will light up red, providing the power failure alarm is enabled. NOTE The VPort 461A series supports power input specifications of 12-32 VDC for 12/24 VDC power input, or 18-30 VAC for 24 VAC power input.
  • Page 6 Step 4: Connecting motorized PTZ cameras and serial devices The VPort 461A 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.
  • Page 7 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 the Broadcast Search icon to initiate a search).
  • Page 8 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”...
  • Page 9 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.
