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 254 series support 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... - Page 7 Step 4: Connecting motorized PTZ cameras and serial devices The VPort 254 has 2 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 8 Step 5: Configure the VPort 254’s IP address After powering on the VPort 254, 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 or 100 Mbps NETWORK LED blinks.

Step 6: Log in to the VPort 254 web-based manager Type the IP address in the web browser’s address input box and then press enter. 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. - Page 12 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.

NOTE After accessing the VPort 254’s web-based manager, administrators should access System Configuration System Account to set up the administrator’s password and enable the authentication function. The administrator account name is admin. An authentication window will pop up requesting the account name and password each time the VPort 254 is accessed. -
Page 14: Din-Rail Mounting
DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be attached to the back panel of the VPort 254 when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the VPort 254, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below. -
Page 15: Wiring Requirements
NOTE Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screw into one of the keyhole shaped apertures of the wall mounting plates, before it is screwed into the wall. STEP 3: Once the screws are fixed in the wall, insert the four screw heads through the large parts of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the VPort 254 downwards, as indicated below. -
Page 16: Wiring The Redundant Power Inputs
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs The VPort 254 has two sets of power input, power input 1 and power input 2, which are located on the 6-pin and 8-pin terminal block connectors. Top and front views of the terminal block connectors are shown here. STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC or AC wires into the V-/V+ terminals. -
Page 17: Wiring The Digital Inputs
Wiring the Digital Inputs VPort 254 has four sets of digital input, DI1, DI2, DI3 and DI4. Each DI consists of two contacts of the 10-pin terminal block connector on VPort’s top panel. Top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown here. STEP 1: Insert the negative (ground)/positive DI wires into the ┴/I1 terminals. -
