This installation provides a Windows shortcut that can be used to run V-Ray directly as a server.

Start the V-Ray Server and locate the **port **displayed in the command output.

The IP can be obtained by executing the `ipconfig `command in a separate Command Prompt. There might be multiple IP addresses depending on the configuration of the machine. Which one to use depends on how the server is accessed (wireless, Ethernet, etc).
