• 3. DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES VEO-XCTRLG2 is a controller module that allows the user to manage and operate VEO- XTI1CG2 and VEO-XRI1CG2 video over IP devices in large multipoint to multipoint systems. It mounts two dedicated LAN ports to host independent Control and Video networks.
3.1 MAIN FEATURES • Easy to create project, control and manage the system. • Setup wizard to easy assign devices to a project including Auto, DHCP and Manual IP configurations. HTTPS, SSH, SFTP security compatible. • • Built-in Web GUI control interface, supporting Drag & Drop operations. •...
4. INSTALL & CONNECT 4.1 RACK MOUNTING This product can be mounted in a standard rack. Stack two products on top of each other. Then use the included screws to fix two 1U mounting ears on the products. Place two pairs of products together with each other using the provided screws. Fasten screws between each pair to mount four products together.
IT staff how to properly set the Multicast products connected to the local network switch. One of the advantages in the use of VEO-XCTRLG2 is the possibility to separate the Video Network to the Control Network. In this way, the consistent multicast traffic generated by the video over IP extenders can be isolated from the control traffic generated by the embedded or by the third-party control system.
4.3.1 WEB CONNECTION AND SETTINGS. The default IP address of VEO-XCTRLG2 for its Control Port is 192.168.0.225 if there is no DHCP server in the system. Once a VEO-XCTRLG2 is connected to a network with other VEO-XTI1CG2 and VEO-XRI1CG2, the controller will act as manager of the network and will automatically assign addresses to the various devices.
4.4.1 WIZARD SETUP Once logged in, if there’s no existing project, this message will appear to help the user to configure the system through the wizard procedure. Then click Next to advance to the next page. If the system has already been configured previously, clicking “Close” will take the user directly to the system control page.

The procedure is identical to the previous one, with the only difference that in this case the IP addresses are assigned by a DHCP server. There will be no need to set up the Video LAN port settings of the VEO-XCTRLG2 controller box in Auto or DHCP as they will be automatically configured by the...
