VGA2Ethernet User Guide
If the VGA2Ethernet device is using the DHCP server-assigned IP address,
but you want to change the IP address. If for some reason the DHCP server
goes down you can log into the VGA2Ethernet Web admin interface and
change the IP address.
If you have previously configured the VGA2Ethernet device to use a static IP
address and want to change some network settings or revert back to using
DHCP.
For network changes to take effect you must reboot the VGA2Ethernet device after
making the changes. See
“
Rebooting or Restarting VGA2Ethernet
”
.
Note: If you change the IP address you will need to remove the VGA2Ethernet device
from the Network Discovery Utility and then select Search to find it again.
Note: You can also see the VGA2Ethernet MAC address on the Network page.
Providing the MAC address to your network administrator may be helpful for managing
your network.
To set the VGA2Ethernet to use a static IP address
1.
Log into the Web admin interface.
2.
Select Network.
3.
Select Use static address.
4.
Enter an IP Address, Network Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server that
are valid for your network. Note: Clarify that this gateway setting is the
gateway of your local LAN (i.e. local router). Contact your network
administrator if you are not sure what information to use. The IP address,
Network Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server that you assign must be
compatible with your network.
