Section 3: VN-GLIMPSE Setup Utility ES3610/11 User Guide

Introduction
In many applications no special setup or configuration of the RGB ADAPTER will be required other
than to set its IP Address and Subnet Mask.
Any RGB ADAPTER configuration that
is required is achieved by means of the VN-GLIMPSE Setup
Utility provided on the Software Disc. The Setup Utility must be installed and run on a suitable PC or
laptop computer (the ‘configuration computer’).
HINT : You can install the Setup Utility on the source computer and use this machine to configure the
RGB ADAPTER.
The configuration computer must then be connected to the RGB ADAPTER via its Network port.
There are two ways of achieving this:
•
Method 1 – Direct connection between the computer and the RGB ADAPTER (using a
crossover patch cable – not supplied), or
•
Method 2 – Indirect connection between the computer and the RGB ADAPTER via an
existing local area network (LAN).
Method 1 is recommended as it allows the RGB ADAPTER to be configured without the risk of its
default settings conflicting with other devices. Once the unit is configured it can be safely connected to
the network.
Method 2 can only be used if you are certain that the default settings will not cause a conflict with
other network devices. This includes other RGB ADAPTERs. If you intend connecting and setting-up
a number of RGB ADAPTERs on the same network, always power-up and configure each unit, one at
a time. If all units are powered-up at the same time with the same default settings, configuration will
be impossible.
NOTE : The Setup Utility uses network broadcast messages to detect and communicate with the RGB
ADAPTER. Therefore, the configuration computer and RGB ADAPTER(s) need not be on the same
subnet (i.e. they can have different Subnet Masks).
