How to find the NVP-20 on an IP network

By default, once the physical connections have been made, the NVP-20 will try to obtain an IP Address from a DHCP network server. As we will see

this can be changed later to a Static IP address if required.

How to use the NVP-20 IP Finder utility software

Datavideo supply a free, Windows based utility, called NVP-20 IP Finder.

The first time this software is used on the computer you may need to allow it permission through your computers firewall / anti-virus software in order for it to be able to scan or search the local network.

When the utility scans the LAN that the computer is connected to, it displays the current IP address for any NVP-20 units found on this local IP network. Double clicking on the device listed will automatically open your computers default web browser and navigate to the login page of the NVP-20.

If you are using an Apple computer then you can use an alternative utility app such as Fing or Network Analyzer Lite.
