Using the NetworkDiscovery Utility to find the 

VGA2Ethernet or KVM2Ethernet device

You can use the NetworkDiscovery Utility to find the 

VGA2Ethernet or KVM2Ethernet device. To start the 

NetworkDiscovery Utility from the Windows Start menu, select 

Start > Epiphan VGA2Ethernet > VGA2Ethernet DirectShow 

config

. When the NetworkDiscovery utility starts up, select the 

Search button to find the VGA2Ethernet device 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 Network Discovery Utility should find it. 

Figure 12

 shows the 

Network Discovery Utility connected to a VGA2Ethernet device 

at IP address 192.168.20.21. The NetworkDiscovery Utility 

displays the VGA2Ethernet device IP address. You can select Web 

config to display the VGA2Ethernet Web admin interface.
If the VGA2Ethernet device is capturing images, the current 

captured image should appear on the Network Discovery Utility 

interface and the status of the VGA2Ethernet device should be 

Device OK, shown with a green indicator. If the VGA2Ethernet 

device is not capturing images the Device OK indicator can still 

appear but the Network Discovery Utility display will not show a 

captured image.
