Using Windows
Power-on the Appliance
When powered-on, the VBrick appliance automatically runs
through a self-test.
1. Insert the power connector that comes with the unit into
the power receptacle on the rear of the appliance.
2. Connect the other end to a conventional 110/220 VAC
power source.
3. The Power In LED on the back of VBrick will illuminate
and the front panel will display status messages during the
self-test.
4. Wait until the appliance completes its boot sequence
before continuing. This may take several minutes.
Connect Video Input Source
An audio/video cable allows the VBrick appliance to receive
audio/video from your input source (a camera, VCR, DVD,
etc.)
Please make sure that all power switches are Off on all
source equipment before plugging into the connectors on
the VBrick appliance.
1. From a video input source (for example, a camera, DVD,
or VCR), connect a BNC (composite video) cable to
Composite In on Slot 1 of the VBrick appliance.
2. Connect Left and Right cables from the audio source to
Audio In on the appliance.
Connect to the IP Network
An Ethernet cable connects the VBrick to the network.
1. Plug one end of the cable into the Ethernet port on the
VBrick appliance.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the network switch.
3. When power is applied, the green LEDs to the right of
the Ethernet port will illuminate and the Activity light will
flicker.

Set the IP Address
When you power on the appliance, if a DHCP server is pres-
ent on your network, the VBrick will automatically get its
IP
Address and Subnet Mask from the DHCP server. If this
happens, no additional configuration is required; go to Step
5 and verify operation. If the VBrick cannot get an IP address
from the DHCP server (or a server is not present), you will
need to set the IP address manually using the handheld IR
Remote Control. Similarly, if your network requires a
Gateway
IP Address, and this is not provided by the DHCP server, you
will also need to enter this manually.
1. Aim the remote control at the IR Port (reference 4A) on the
front panel and press Local Edit (reference 4B). The dis-
play (reference 4C) on the front of the VBrick will request
a password.
2. Press 23646 (“admin”, numerically) and press Select (ref-
erence 4D) on the remote control.
3. If the network is DHCP capable and you want the net-
work to select an IP address press Y and then press
Select. The VBrick will reboot and obtain an IP address.
Otherwise, press
Select to continue.
4. Enter desired IP address. Use the * button for the decimal
point and the left/right buttons to erase characters entered
by mistake.
5. When done press Select. If the remaining settings do not
need to be modified, press Select again.
6. If the IP, subnet mask or gateway addresses have been
modified and there are no errors, the VBrick will reboot.
