Change the VGA adapter’s IP address
If your computer’s IP address can not be changed, if for example your entire network is on a
non-DHCP network with different subnet than the VGA adapter’s default IP address, you can
follow the steps below to configure the VGA adapter to match your network’s subnet.
a) With the USB server application open, right-click on the main VGA video adapter device
and select
Server Configuration
.
b) Uncheck the
Use DHCP
option and manually enter an
IP address
and
Subnet
Mask
that
matches your network settings.
c) Click
Set
to save your new settings and return to the main window.
1. Your IP extender will appear in the
Device
list, with the connected VGA display listed below
it. Select the VGA display from the
Device
list, then click the
Connect Device
button.
Note:
if your VGA display has a built-in audio controller, the audio controller will also be
listed in the
Device
list, along with any attached USB peripheral devices. Each device
must be connected using the
Connect Device
button individually, for your computer to
recognize the device.
2. After you click the
Connect Device
button, the status of the device will change to locally
connected, and your computer will detect the device and automatically install the required
drivers.
Notes:
• To disconnect any device, select it from the
Device
list and click the
Disconnect
Device
button.
• When connecting an audio controller, the controller becomes the default audio
device on your computer. Windows does not allow multiple audio devices to be
used simultaneously.
3. Now that your computer has installed the drivers for your display adapter, the DisplayLink
icon will appear in your Windows system tray. Close the USB Server software and click the
DisplayLink icon.
4. Once you click the icon, a menu will open. From the menu click
Video Setup,
to launch the
Windows display settings.
5. Use the Windows display settings to configure the monitor to your desired settings,
including resolution and orientation.
