Finder). 

Network settings 

Use TruVision Device Finder to find and configure the IP 
address and other parameters of the device. This tool 
automatically identifies TruVision devices that support “auto-

click the Setup file located in the folder. 

3.  Following the instructions, select the folder where setup 

will install the files then click 

Next

4.  The program requires a utility called WinPcap to be 

installed on the computer. If it is already installed, go to 
step 5. If the program is not installed, the WinPcap window 
appears. Follow the on-screen instructions. 

5.  The TruVision Device Finder Wizard appears. Click 

Finish

 

to complete its installation. The shortcut icon appears on 
your desktop. 

Using the TruVision Device Finder 

1.  Double-click the shortcut icon to open the tool. Click 

Start

 

in the Start window to begin the discovery process. The 
list of TruVision devices located on your network appears. 

Note

: The TruVision Device Finder can only detect 

devices that are on the same LAN. The tool cannot detect 
devices placed on a VLAN. 

2.  Change the device settings as required. Click 

Exit

 when 

completed. 

Note

: You must reboot to activate the new IP address or 

subnet mask.

Before accessing the browser, you need to configure the
