All rights reserved. *M211655EN* Page 1 of 2 QUICK START GUIDE Vaisala vNet PoE Network Interface vNet Device Models: CDL-VNET-LP CDL-VNET-P (with fan) CDL-VNET-LPC (15V output) CDL-VNET-PC (fan and 15V output) POWER OVER ETHERNET The Vaisala vNet PoE Network Interface (vNet Device), provides easy network connectivity for your Loggers, eliminating the need for an AC power source if your network supports Power over Ethernet. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS vNet Device Drivers must be installed on a PC with the following minimum configuration: • Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit versions) • CD-ROM drive STEP 1: ATTACH HARDWARE Before you start: • If your Logger has an internal temperature Channel, it must be connected to a vNet Device with a built-in fan mechanism. • If you are mounting a vNet Device on a wall to hold a built-in fan mechanism, ensure the vNet Device is in the upright position (the arrow on the vNet Device bed pointing up). To connect a Logger to a vNet Device: 1. Remove protective label on bottom or back of the Logger. 2. Slide the Logger as far right as possible towards the two tabs before pushing down into the vNet Device bed (you should hear a ‘click’). 3. Insert the power supply (if required), then connect the vNet Device to the power supply or Ethernet outlet. Figure 1 Connecting a Logger to a vNet Device To ensure a secure connection, insert the power supply barrel-end connector into the vNet Device and turn ¼ to the right. If your network supports Power over Ethernet, you do not need to connect an external power supply. Figure 2 Connecting an external power supply Note: If your vNet Device has serial number 1411xxxx or Firmware v1.4 or higher, and you are running viewLinc 4.3 or higher, you can enable the viewLinc Aware Service to automatically complete device driver installation, discovery and configuration. Refer to the vNet User’s Guide for more information. STEP 2: INSTALL DRIVERS Before you start: • Obtain an IP address for each vNet device. If you use reserved IP addresses, the DHCP server must be updated before you proceed with the installation. • Modify Firewall settings to allow the dgrunwiz.exe and dgcfgwiz.exe programs to receive incoming network connections, and unblock UDP port 2362 and multi-cast address 224.0.5.128.

STEP 3: DISCOVER DEVICE The Device Discovery function ensures that all vNet Devices connected to your network are identified by viewLinc or vLog software. Note: If you use viewLinc 4.3, this step may not be required. Refer to the vNet User’s Guide for more information. To complete device discovery: 1. Insert the Vaisala Veriteq vNet Device Drivers CD. 2. Select Device Discovery Install, then click Next. 3. Select the destination for the program to install, then click Next. 4.

STEP 4: CONFIGURE DEVICE The vNet device has a web-based vNet Configuration and Management interface which allows you to make configuration changes, restore default settings, and more. It is recommended that you log in to this interface to change the default password. Note: If you use viewLinc 4.3, this step may not be required. Refer to the vNet User’s Guide for more information. To log in to the vNet configuration interface: 1. From a PC on the same subnet as the vNet Device, open the Internet browser and enter the vNet Device IP address or NetBIOS name, (for example, veriteqxxxxxxxx, where ‘x’ is the serial number). 2. Log in using the default username root and password, dbps. 3. Use the navigation pane to open the Configuration | Security page, then enter a new password. 4. Click Apply to restart the vNet Device.
