Starting the VGA2Ethernet User Interface
Before starting the VGA2Ethernet user interface the VGA2Ethernet device must be
connected to the same network as the video capture workstation. The device should
also be connected to power.
To start 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 the 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.
As the VGA2Ethernet user interface starts, the following messages may appear on the
VGA2Ethernet user interface window:
Capture device not found as the VGA2Ethernet user interface attempts to
connect with VGA2Ethernet devices on your network. This message only
displays for a few seconds unless the VGA2Ethernet user interface cannot
find any devices or if all of the devices have a viewer password. To connect
to a device with a viewer password, select Select Device or Connect Network
Device from the Capture menu and when prompted enter the device’s viewer
password. For more information, see
Adding or Changing the Viewer
Password
