Vaisala vNet PoE Network Interface - Manual (Page 10)

4 VAISALA
Before you start:
• Obtain an IP address for each vNet Device from your IT
department. They should either be reserved IP addresses
supplied by DHCP, or static IP addresses (recommended). If
the IP addresses are reserved, the DHCP server must be
updated before you proceed with the installation.
• Write down the MAC address of the vNet Device (address is
found on the side of the vNet Device above the serial number).
• Modify Firewall settings:
• Allow the dgrunwiz.exe and dgcfgwiz.exe programs to
receive incoming network connections.
• Unblock UDP port 2362 and multi-cast address
224.0.5.128, as these are used by device discovery.
To install drivers for vNet Devices on the same subnet:
Note:
vNet Devices are installed with Digi Driver software
