Network Environment without a DHCP Server:
If your VPort 254 is connected to a network that does not have a DHCP server, then you will need
to configure the IP address manually. The default IP address of the VPort 351 is 192.168.127.100
and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Note that you may need to change your computer’s
IP address and subnet mask so that the computer is on the same subnet as the VPort.
To change the IP address of the VPort manually, access the VPort’s web server, and then navigate
to the System Configuration → Network → General page to configure the IP address and
other network settings. Check the Use fixed IP address to ensure that the IP address you assign is
not deleted each time the VPort is restarted.
