Intended Use
The product is used to operate a monitor over a network (10/100 MBit). This allows the monitor to
be operated on several computers (but only in turn; you can only connect one computer to the
Network audio/video Adapter at a time).
It also integrates a USB2.0 hub with 2 ports and a USB sound card with headphone and microphone
inputs.
The Network audio/video Adapter can be directly connected to one of the computers using the 4
control buttons, to monitor them for example.
The product can alternatively be connected directly to a single computer via the USB port if the
network operation is not possible or not required.
The power is supplied from the wall plug transformer included in the delivery.
This product complies with the applicable National and European requirements. All names of

Connection via Network or USB
The product offers two different operating modes. Only one of them may be used simultaneously:
• Operation via network
The product is connected to the network switch or router via a 1:1 connected network cable
(10/100 MBit network).
Each PC connected to the network can access the monitor, the two USB ports and the integrated
sound card on the Network audio/video Adapter - However, only one PC at a time.
Please note:
The included software must be installed on each PC that should have access to the
Network audio/video Adapter. Without software installed, the operation is not possible.
Example: A video projector installed in a training classroom can be used by 20 PCs without having
to plug again the cables.
The four buttons on the Network audio/video Adapter are used to commutate the four PCs
directly. This can be used to monitor four server PCs in turn for example.
• Operation via USB
If an operation over the network is not possible or required, the Network audio/video Adapter can
also be connected directly to a single PC via the USB port. It then works as a conventional USB
graphic card with integrated 2-port USB hub and integrated sound card.
Important for USB operation: First install the enclosed software! Then connect the
Network audio/video Adapter to the USB port of your PC.
Operation via network
• Connect your monitor with the DVI port of your Network audio/video Adapter. If you want to
connect an analogue VGA monitor, please use the supplied VGA-DVI adapter.
• Connect the Network audio/video Adapter to your network switch or router using a 1:1 connected
network cable.
• Connect the low voltage plug of the supplied wall plug transformer to the Network audio/video
Adapter and plug it into a mains socket.
• Insert the included CD into one of the computers connected to the network. If the installation pro-
gram on the CD does not start automatically, start the “Setup.exe” program in the main directory
of the CD.
• Click on “Auto Installation......” and follow all instructions.
During installation, it can happen that the image disappears, flashes or that the resolution

installation is complete! If you are not connected as an administrator on the operating system,
you may still have to confirm some Windows messages accordingly.
• Windows may need to be restarted after completing the installation.
