Setting  
Insufficient network bandwidth  
Network Requirements  
When there is insufficient bandwidth, the  
number of JPEG frames (frame rate) that the  
client can acquire will decrease.  
Ensure that there is sufficient network  
bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out  
by VN-C215V4U.  
Data volume to be sent by VN-C215V4U  
varies with the settings and number of  
distributions.  
The maximum bit rate from VN-C215V4U is  
about 9 Mbps.  
Network Delay  
When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, VN-  
C215V4U will send out data while checking the  
ACK from the client at the same time. For  
networks with considerable delay, data cannot  
be sent out until ACK is received, and therefore  
the frame rate will drop.  
Estimation of total bit rate  
The JPEG file size per frame varies with the  
encoding settings as well as input video signals.  
The following table may be used as a reference.  
When VFS is selected, the quantization table  
during JPEG encoding will be maintained and  
the file size will increase/decrease according to  
the input signals. When AFS is selected,  
encoding will be performed such that the  
average size of multiple JPEG images is the  
target file size.  
Drop of frame rate due to network delay can be  
eliminated by sending data via multicast.  
Network Jitter  
When there is considerable network jitter, delay  
time may be prolonged and the image frame rate  
may drop.

File Size  
When acquiring images from VN-C215V4U via  
TCP, packet loss may be recovered by  
resending by TCP. When there is considerable  
delay during resending, however, missing data  
may occur and the image frame rate may drop.  
When packet loss occurs during multicast  
sending from VN-C215V4U, the image frame  
rate may drop.

Purpose of Use  
VN-C215V4U accepts requests from up to a  
maximum of 5 clients. In addition, it also allows  
transmission of 1 multicast stream. The total  
frame rate refers to the sum of these frame rates.  
For example, when 10 fps is requested by 2  
clients, and in addition multicast is transmitted at  
a rate of 10 fps, the total frame rate will be:

(B) Assigning a static IP address to VN-  
C215V4U  
Memo:  
To set a static IP address for VN-C215V4U,  
connect VN-C215V4U, switching hub and  
computer for setting using a straight LAN  
cable of Category 5 and above.  
(A) Assigning an IP address from the  
DHCP server  
VN-C215V4U is set to ADHCP EnableB (the  
DHCP client function is ON) by default. To  
assign an IP address from DHCP server,  
connect VN-C215V4U to LAN with DHCP  
server, and turn on VN-C215V4U. Allowing  
the DHCP server to assign the same IP  
address to VN-C215V4U every time eases  
access to VN-C215V4U.  
Set up the computer for setting the IP  
address.  
Minimum computer specifications for  
setting

Web browser : Internet Explorer Version 6.0  
Note:  
When setting the IP address for VN-  
C215V4U, do so by using a network that is  
made up only of VN-C215V4U, the computer  
for setting and the switching hub.  
Using a hub connected to other network  
devices can cause problems.  
Set the DHCP server such that constant  
IPaddress is assigned to VN-C215V4U  
based on the MAC address of VN-C215V4U.
