    System Configuration Chapter 4 After installing the hardware, the next task required is to configure the VPort 2141’s settings. There are 3 configuration methods, based on the type of access: web browser, FTP, and Telnet. This chapter includes the following sections:...

  • Page 28: System Configuration By Web Browser

    Chapter 6, URL Commands for Advanced Functions. System configuration serves 5 purposes: 1. Since the VPort 2141 is a networked video encoder, administrators should at least configure Security, Network, and Video. 2. To support external serial port devices, configure Camera Control and then Camera Setting under Video.

To provide a stable connection using the VPort, administrators should enable this function to fix the VPort’s IP...
  • Page 32 The VPort 2141 supports the PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) function, which means that the VPort 2141 can dial up an ISP server by itself to ask the ISP server to assign an IP address.

  • Page 33: Ddns & Upnp

    The DDNS function provides administrators with the ability to associate a fixed URL to the VPort 2141. Using a fixed URL eliminates the need of checking the IP address assigned by the ISP. Please refer to the DDNS function description to learn more about it.
  • Page 34 IP address in the Network neighbors, e.g., VPort 2141 (xxx.xxx.xxx.96). In other words, the hostname of the VPort is “VPort 2141,” and the IP address of the video encoder is xxx.xxx.xxx.96, which depends on the last value of the IP address assigned to the video encoder.

  • Page 35: Mail & Ftp

    Mail & FTP SMTP The VPort 2141 not only plays the role of server, but also actively connects to outside servers to send alarm messages or snapshots. If the administrator has set up some applications in either event mode or sequential mode, the VPort will send out snapshots once these conditions occur.
