Frame Grabber
To use the network discovery utility to find
Network Frame Grabbers
You can use the Network Discovery Utility to find Network
Frame Grabbers connected to your network. You would only
need to use the Network Discovery Utility if the capture
application cannot find them.
Start the Network Discovery Utility from the Windows Start
menu by selecting
Start > Epiphan VGA2Ethernet >
VGA2Ethernet DirectShow Config
.
The Network Discovery Utility starts up and looks for Epiphan
devices, including Network Frame Grabbers, connected to the
network. The Network Discovery Utility will find any Epiphan
device connected to the network.
For each Epiphan network device (including Network Frame
Grabbers), the Network Discovery Utility displays a name, serial
number, IP address and status (such as device OK, or Not Found).
shows the Network Discovery Utility connected to a
VGA2Ethernet device at IP address 192.168.20.21 and a
KVM2Ethernet device at IP address 192.168.20.102.
If a device is selected and is capturing images, the current
captured image should appear on the Network Discovery Utility
interface and the status of the device should be Device OK, shown
with a green indicator. If the device is not capturing images the
Device OK indicator can still appear but the display will not show
a captured image.
Note:
When you restart the Network Discovery Utility if it has
already found an Epiphan device it will show the status of the
device as Detecting and the indicator will be amber. If the
Network Discovery Utility cannot find a previously found
Epiphan device, the status will change to Not Found or Failed
and the indicator will be red.
