Environmental Information
The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural
resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could
impact health and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and
to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the
appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the
materials of your end life equipment in a sound way.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems.
If you need more information about collection, reuse and recycling systems,
please contact your local or regional waste administration.
You can also contact us for more information on the environmental

1. Installation and getting started
This chapter describes how to connect a VGA2Ethernet or a
KVM2Ethernet device to a VGA source and to your Ethernet
network. This section also describes how to install and use the
VGA2Ethernet drivers and application to find the VGA2Ethernet
device on your network and to view captured images using a
video capture workstation.
The VGA2Ethernet device uses an Ethernet network connection
to send captured image data to the video capture workstation. A
video capture workstation is any PC on which you have installed
the VGA2Ethernet drivers and application and that is connected
to the same Ethernet network as the VGA2Ethernet device.
The KVM2Ethernet device provides full Keyboard-Video-Mouse
(KVM) capabilities that you can use to manage any computerized
machine with a VGA output and keyboard/mouse inputs from a
video capture workstation. The video capture workstation must
be running Windows.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• VGA2Ethernet and KVM2Ethernet hardware features
• VGA2Ethernet software features
• Video capture workstation requirements
• Connecting and powering on a VGA2Ethernet device
• Connecting and powering on a KVM2Ethernet Device
• Installing VGA2Ethernet drivers and application
• If the VGA2Ethernet user interface cannot find the device

Power Connect the AC adapter to the VGA2Ethernet
device power connector and to a power outlet.
ETH 1 Primary 10/100/1000 Base-T RJ-45 auto-sensing
Ethernet network port to connect the VGA2Ethernet
device to the Ethernet network. The VGA2Ethernet
ethernet ports are auto-sensing. You can connect
ETH 1 or ETH 2 directly to your video capture
workstation Ethernet port.
VGA IN Connect a VESA-compatible VGA source to the
VGA2Ethernet device.
See the
VGA2Ethernet
technical specifications
on the Epiphan web site for
information about the video input supported by the
VGA2Ethernet device
.
Connect an Epiphan KVM cable from the machine
to be managed to the KVM2Ethernet device.
See the
KVM2Ethernet technical specifications
on the
Epiphan web site for information about the input
supported by the
KVM2Ethernet device
.
VGA OUT Optionally connect a monitor to view captured
images. This is not a high-quality image. VGA OUT
is intended only for monitoring the image output.
USB port Not used.
LED
startup
sequence
Green and blue LEDs. When the VGA2Ethernet first
starts up, the blue led lights up. A few seconds later
the green LED lights up. After about another 20
seconds the blue LED turns off, leaving the green
LED on indicating that the VGA2Ethernet has
started up and can start capturing images.
During operation the blue LED blinks during VGA
signal test operation and when the system tunes
VGA parameters.
Red LED During operation the red LED blinks each time the
VGA2Ethernet device captures an image and sends
it to a video capture workstation. You can use the
red LED as an indicator that the VGA2Ethernet
device is capturing images.

Note: The VGA2Ethernet device will not capture images until a
video capture workstation has found the VGA2Ethernet device
on the network and an application is requesting captured images.
Even if the VGA2Ethernet device is properly connected to a VGA
source the red LED will not flash unless a video capture
workstation is receiving captured images.
VGA2Ethernet software features
Use the following software features to install the VGA2Ethernet
device on your network.

drivers and
application
Download the VGA2Ethernet drivers and
application from the VGA2Ethernet download
page to install the VGA2Ethernet user
interface and NetworkDiscovery tool on a
video capture workstation running Windows
2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista. You
can use the NetworkDiscovery Utility to find
the VGA2Ethernet on your network and you
can use the VGA2Ethernet user interface to
receive and process captured images from the
VGA2Ethernet device.
