The Visualizer can be treated as a standard network device and it is as secure as the supporting network. The Visualizer cannot be considered as a router, switch or firewall. Communication to other networks and access must to be controlled using your existing equipment (firewall, router, switch and so on).
The LAN port can be used for accessing built-in web server, managing via vSolution Link Pro and for controlling via vSolution App, a Cynap system when fully integrated or via room management system.
Please note
To add devices to an existing company network, some information from the local administrator are needed.
Before starting, check the existing infrastructure and define the required equipment and settings.
The listed addresses are just examples and maybe invalid for your existing network environment.
DHCP |
The Visualizer will get all network settings automatically from the DHCP server in the existing network. Switch it to OFF to set the addresses manually. |
IP Address |
Unique address in the network, like 192.168.0.100. The IP address of the Visualizer can be set e.g. to 192.168.0.1. |
Subnet Mask |
The number of IP addresses can be limited. A commonly used subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0 |
Gateway |
Defines the IP address of the server / connection to other networks (such as the internet). When the Visualizer is connected directly to one PC only , then enter the IP address of the PC. |
Name server 1 / 2 |
Input the IP address of the preferred Domain Name System (DNS). This Server translates domain names into corresponding IP addresses. |
NTP / Time source |
The Visualizer has a built-in battery buffered RTC clock (Real Time Clock). Settings will only be lost if the battery is empty. To eliminate the risk of incorrect time stamps, the Visualizer can be synchronized to an external time server. To use an external time server, enable NTP / Time Server and input a valid URL or IP address of an NTP time server inclusive the correct time zone. |
The LAN port enables integration of the Visualizer into an internal network. Administrators of a large number of WolfVision Visualizers systems can use the LAN port to control, support and update all of their units from their local desktop PC.
The list of applications for the LAN port is constantly increasing. It can be used for controlling, capturing still images, viewing live video streams, firmware updates, adjustments, menu settings and for maintenance purposes. Some features are only supported when using vSolution Link Pro software.
The following protocols are supported: NTP, TCP/IP, IGMP, UDP and ARP.
Supported (tested) internet browsers are: Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
By default, DHCP is activated to receive all network settings automatically from the DHCP server.
