    Overview The VPort 364A is a 4-channel industrial video encoder that supports the H.264 video compression algorithm, which provides the best video quality on the market while requiring less bandwidth compared to other video compression standards. In addition, the VPort 364A supports simultaneous dual video streams with different formats: H.264 and MJPEG.

    FAULT LED will light up in red if the power failure alarm is enabled. NOTE The VPort 364A series supports 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 6 NOTE The PTZ control protocol is not standardized. To use a particular PTZ control protocol, the video server must support the driver for that protocol. Currently, the VPort 364A supports PTZ control protocol drivers for: 1. Pelco D 2. Pelco P 3.
  • Page 7 2. The Broadcast Search window will show a list of all switches and VPorts located on the network. The progress of the search will also be indicated. 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.
  • Page 8 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” function to search for the device by keying in the IP address. 4.
  • Page 9 Step 8: Accessing the homepage of the VPort 364A’s web-based manager After installing the ActiveX Control component, the homepage of the VPort 364A’s web-based manager will appear. Check the following items to make sure the system was installed properly: 1. Video Images. 2.
  • Page 10 NOTE After accessing the VPort 364A’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 364A is accessed.

  • Page 12: Din-Rail Mounting

    DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be attached to the back panel of the VPort 364A when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the VPort 364A, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
  • Page 13: Wiring Requirements

    STEP 2: Mounting VPort 364A on the wall requires 4 screws. Use the VPort 364A, with wall mount plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the right.
  • Page 14: Wiring The Redundant Power Inputs

    NOTE Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately. • You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
  • Page 15: Wiring The Relay Output

    ATTENTION Before connecting the VPort to the AC/DC power inputs, make sure the DC power source voltage is stable. Wiring the Relay Output The VPort 364A has two sets of relay output, relay 1 and relay 2, which are located on the two 5-pin terminal block connectors. Each relay output consists of the 3 contacts of the terminal block on the VPort 364A’s top panel.
  • Page 16: Rs-232 Console Port Connection

    RS-232 Console Port Connection VPort 364A has one RS-232 (10-pin RJ45) console port, located on the top panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable (see the cable following wiring diagrams) to connect VPort 364A’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then use a console terminal program, such as the Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator, to access VPort 364A’s console configuration utility.
  • Page 17: Rj45 (8-Pin) To Rj45 (8-Pin) Cross-Over Cable Wiring

    RJ45 (8-pin) to RJ45 (8-pin) Cross-Over Cable Wiring 100BaseFX Ethernet Port Connection The concept behind the SC port and cable is quite straightforward. Suppose that you are connecting devices I and II. Contrary to electrical signals, optical signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently, one fiber optic cable is used to transmit data from device I to device II, and the other fiber optic cable is used transmit data from device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.
