If a DHCP server is available, theVGAVideo Adapter will automatically obtain the IP address
and network settings to be able to communicate with other devices on the network.
If a DHCP server is not available, such as connecting directly to a computer system,
the VGA Video Adapter will assume an IP of 192.168.1.50. The computer system
must use an IP address of 192.168.1.x (x being a number not used by another device,
i.e. the VGA Video adapter) to be able to communicate with the VGA Video Adapter.
2. Launch the USB Server software from the desktop Icon.
3. The USB Server software will list the VGA Video Adapter, with it’s currently assigned
IP address. Under it will be listed all components of the VGA Video Adapter that can
be accessed by the computer system (i.e. video and audio components).
4. Double-click on the component device that needs to be connected or highlight the
device and click the “Connect” button. The Device’s “Status” will change to indicate
it’s “Locally Connected” and cannot be used by other computers.
5. The connected component will then be detected by the operating system and be
made accessible as if directly connected to the computer system.
6. To disconnect the component, double-click on it or click the “Disconnect” button.
OPTIONAL: Connect any USB peripherals to be shared along with the VGA Video
Adapter, into the available USB hub ports on the unit. They will appear as additional
connectable components in the USB Server software.
