Chapter 3 Environment Setup

1. Network Setup

It is required that a proper network environment is set in order to run the VP-II X in the TCP/IP network.
An IP address (including subnet mask and gateway), master IP address, server IP address (if used), and
slave information (only for master unit) must be set. See the following sections for details.

1.1 Set Network Environment (TCP/IP Parameters)

Every VP-II X should have an IP address for network operation and the TCP/IP network parameters must
be properly set.
Manager Menu > 3. System Settings > 1. Network Settings > 1. Network Environment
A VP-II X can obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server or you can assign an IP address
manually, depending on the network environment at the site. To manually set an IP address, make sure
that all network parameters are properly set and there are no IP conflicts in the network. It is also
strongly recommended that you test TCP/IP communication status using the "ping" command from a
server.
Status
This shows the network parameters currently set (IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway). An IP
address "128.0.0.1 (factory default)" will be shown if the IP address is not properly set.

1.2 Master/Slave Setting

One VP-II X must be set to master while other(s) in the network are set to slave(s). Please see "Chapter
1 2 Network Configuration" for details on network operation.
Go to the menu shown below to set master/slave and appropriate parameters required for master/slave
operation.
