On the video capture workstation, run the VGA2Ethernet user 

interface. From the Windows Start menu select 

Start > 

Epiphan VGA2Ethernet > VGA2Ethernet GUI

.

The VGA2Ethernet user interface starts up and looks for 

VGA2Ethernet devices on your network.

If the VGA2Ethernet device is operating, has received an IP 

address from a DHCP server, and is connected to your network, 

the VGA2Ethernet user interface should find it and the image 

being captured by the VGA2Ethernet device should appear on 

the VGA2Ethernet user interface display.
If the VGA2Ethernet device is not capturing images the device 

name and serial number still appear in the title bar and the IP 

address of the device still appears in the status bar but instead of 

a captured image, the VGA2Ethernet user interface displays 

No 

signal detected

.

Figure 10

 shows the VGA2Ethernet connected to a VGA2Ethernet 

device at IP address 192.168.20.21.
