VTX-WM1 Installation Guide v1.28
IP addresses and address allocation
Every amplier to be connected to the
computer network must be given a unique IP
(Internet Protocol) address. If the ampliers
are to be connected to a building’s IT
infrastructure, the installer MUST check with
the IT administrator to determine which
addresses are available for use BEFORE
conguring the ampliers’ VTX-WM1 cards.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect any ampliers
to the Ethernet network until the addresses of
their VTX-WM1 cards have been individually
set. Connecting more than one device with
the same IP address onto a network will have
anomalous and unpredictable results and may
produce havoc for the other network users!
The VTX-WM1 card’s default IP address is
192.168.0.127. If only one amplier is to be
connected for monitoring, you may leave this
address unchanged and ignore much of the
following procedure, provided that this specic
address will be available on the network.
If multiple ampliers are to be monitored, one
(but only one) amplier may retain this default
address, again subject to its availability.
Entering site and amplier
information
Once all the ampliers have been reinstalled in
the rack together with the Ethernet switch and
network cabling, each amplier comprising the
system may be individually congured:
1. Disconnect all the ampliers except one
from the Ethernet switch. Also disconnect
the switch from the building’s IT network.
Turn all the ampliers on.
2. Connect a computer to the Ethernet
switch and launch its normal Internet
browser.
3. Type the default address
http://192.168.0.127 into the URL eld of
the browser, and the Home page shown
below should appear:
The amplier type in the page title should
be that of the amplier being addressed.
4. Next, click the Cong tab, which will give
the screen shown below:
