Setting the Network Addresses for Players and Registering the Players with the VSPA-D7 Software Connect the players one by one to the network on which the computer that is running the VSPA-D7 software is connected, set the network addresses, then register their names, resolution, and IP addresses with the VSPA-D7 software. Note that, when the players will be used at distant places and connected to different networks, this setting should be done before moving the players in their actual operating locations. Procedure Connections The VSPA-D7 software detects the players on the network automatically, using the UDP2380 port. Connect the players one by one, to the network on which the computer that is running the VSPA-D7 software is connected. Also, connect a display device to the connector on the player using an RGB cable, connect the power cord to the player, and turn it on. The player is turned on automatically when the power is supplied. Notes • The default IP address set at the factory for all players is "192.168.0.1." For this reason, if there is a device whose IP address is "192.168.0.1" on the network, it may not operate correctly. Power that device off while you set the network addresses to the players. • Connect a display device to the player using an RGB cable to set up the player. Setting the network address Notes • Set a different network address for each player. • In a system configuration where data is sent and received between the players and a computer that is running the VSPA-D7 software via the Internet, a global IP address must be used for each player. If the computer and players are connected by a LAN only, you may use a private IP address. For details about the network addresses that you can use, ask your network administrator. 1 When the "VSP-NS7 Setup" window is not shown, click the button in the operation guide area on the left of the VSPA-D7 main window. The following window appears. 2 Click [Yes]. The VSPA-D7 software starts detecting the player on the network.
