Using the VTPG in VTP Mode
This article covers how to configure a VTPG to operate in VTP mode, allowing it to be controlled through a Velocity host machine.
VTPG Setup
- Use PoE+ power to turn on your VTPG and navigate to its IP address.
- Register your VTPG to log in.
- Update the firmware on the VTPG to version - 2.10.3 or later: Firmware Page. Settings > Gateway > Firmware Update
- Assign the VTPG a static IP address.
Note: Static IP addresses are recommended for
both the VTPG and the Velocity host machine to ensure a reliable
connection. Firmware version 2.10.3 or later is required on both
devices for VTP mode to function.
Update the Velocity Host Machine
On the Velocity host machine that will control the VTPG:
- Update Velocity to version 2.10.3 or later: Firmware Page.
- Confirm the Velocity host machine is also on a static IP address.
Configure the VTP Mode IP Address
- On the VTPG, navigate to Settings > Gateway > VTP Mode IP Address.
- Enter the static IP address of the Velocity host machine.
- Click Save Settings. The VTPG will reboot automatically.
- Once the device is back online, it will synchronize with the Velocity host machine.
Add the VTPG Driver to Your Room
- In Velocity, add or replace the VTPG driver in the applicable room.
- Assign the static IP address of the VTPG to the driver.
- Click Save (the floppy disk icon in the top right).
Note: Use the IP address assigned to the VTPG
itself, not the IP address that was entered into the VTP Mode
field on the device.
Reverting to Standard Mode
To return the VTPG to its original functionality, remove the IP address from the VTP Mode IP Address field:
- On the VTPG, navigate to Settings > Gateway > VTP Mode IP Address.
- Clear the IP address field and save.
- The device will reboot and return to standard operation.
