Sample Network Configurations

This section describes some typical installation modes for the VB101.

Sample LAN Environment Configuration

VB101
Viewer PC
This example shows the VB101 connected to a LAN by Ethernet. In this configuration, video
images can be used by viewers in the same Ethernet segment as the VB101 and by viewers with
access to that segment.
To send log information such as faults and access statuses by e-mail and save that information to
another computer, an SMTP server or a Syslog server is required.
To automatically assign an IP address for the VB101, a BOOTP server is required.

Sample Dialup Environment Configuration

Modem
Viewer PC
192.168.101.2 is set.
This example shows the VB101 connected in a dialup environment. In this configuration, video
images can be accessed by viewers which can dial up to the VB101 using a modem.
In this situation, a modem card must be inserted into the card slot (use a recommended modem
card). PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is used as the network protocol. For information on settings,
refer to Chapter 3 ( P.39).
