Use a RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect the VGA2Ethernet Eth 1
port to a 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet network.
For best performance, connect the VGA2Ethernet to a 1000
Base-T Ethernet network. You can also improve performance
by using Ethernet cables with 4 pairs of wires. Cat5e or Cat6
cables are preferred to Cat5.
The network must be running the TCP/IP protocol. Ideally the
VGA2Ethernet should be able to connect to the Internet.
You can optionally connect the VGA2Ethernet device directly
to a video capture workstation 1-gigabit Ethernet port.

Figure 5: Connecting to the Ethernet network and power
The VGA2Ethernet powers on and the LEDs go through their
power on sequence:
• When power is first connected, the blue LED lights up.
• A few seconds later the green LED lights up.
• After about 20 seconds, the blue LED turns off leaving the
green LED on to indicate that the VGA2Ethernet has
started up and can start capturing images.
