Connecting to a Network
The VN-QUANTUM Card Frame has two separate network ports – MEDIA I and MEDIA II. These
allow connection to external Ethernet Local Area Networks (LAN) or Wide Area Networks (WAN) in
order to access remote VN-GLIMPSE RGB sources or network-based files/media.
If your system does not use VN-GLIMPSE sources or network-based content, these ports can be left
unconnected. Otherwise, you can use either or both ports as required.
Connection between the port(s) and the local network node must be made using a suitable CAT5 STP
patch cable (not supplied).
Network Settings
The VN-QUANTUM is shipped with both ports set to DHCP (Dynamic Hosting Control Protocol),
i.e. an IP Address is automatically assigned by the network.
If the network does not support DHCP you will need to configure the port(s) for fixed IP
communications. Network settings can be changed by connecting a keyboard, mouse and monitor to
the Card Frame. See pages 33 & 36 for further details.
