screen. With the HUB function, you can control multiple devices at the same time from the notebook PC,
even if the notebook PC has a limited number of input/output ports.
In particular, the high-tech Wireless USB feature allows you to connect a notebook PC to the product
wirelessly and, from the product, enjoy various multimedia contents stored on the notebook PC.
You can also use triple monitors by configuring the display settings.

2.5 Configuring the Central Station Monitor IP

1 After installing the integrated driver for Central Station monitors, go to Control Panel Network
and Internet Network and Sharing Center Change adapter settings.
2 You can see that the following two devices are displayed.
a. The user PC’s network device
b. The Central Station monitor’s network device (USB to Ethernet adapter)
The two devices above refer to your PC’s LAN network device and your Central Station monitor’s
network device.
To use the Internet using the Central Station monitor’s LAN network, configure the network settings as
follows according to the type of IP you will be using.

2.5.1 Dynamic IP

The dynamic IP address mode automatically configures the network settings on the PC using data sent
by a server, which allots an IP address. This is possible, owing to the “DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol)” service. The service consists of three steps: an IP address allotment request is
sent to the DHCP server when the PC boots up, the DHCP server that received the request transmits
2 Using "Central Station"
35
Page 36

→ → →
→ → →
Using "Central Station"
network information such as the IP address to the PC, and the transmitted network information is
automatically registered to the network settings on the PC. The DHCP service is convenient and useful
especially in an environment where multiple PCs are used. Theoretically, the IP address changes each
time the PC boots up (or an IP allotment request is sent); in many cases, however, the existing IP address
is re-allotted. An Internet router performs two roles: creating a private IP address (NAT service) and
automatically allotting the IP address to each PC (DHCP service) at the same time.
When using your Central Station monitor’s or notebook PC’s LAN network, ensure you insert a LAN
cable into only one device. Otherwise, a system crash may occur.
Dynamic IP User
1 To use a dynamic IP address, connect a LAN to your Central Station monitor. 2 Next, go to the network settings menu and activate the Central Station monitor’s network device
(select “Use”).
Go to Control Panel Network and Internet Network and Sharing Center Change
adapter settings. Next, right-click on the Central Station monitor’s network device (marked
“LAN9512/LAN9514 USB 2.0 to Ethernet 10/100 Adapter #7”) and select Use.
3 Using the network properties menu, check that the IP address mode for the Central Station
monitor’s network device is set to Auto.
Go to Control Panel Network and Internet Network and Sharing Center Change
adapter settings. Next, right-click on the Central Station monitor’s network device (marked
“LAN9512/LAN9514 USB 2.0 to Ethernet 10/100 Adapter #7”).

Select Properties Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties.

2.5.2 Static IP

To configure the IP address (private or official) on your PC, someone (mostly a server system) must
distribute and allot an IP address to the PC. An official IP address is allotted by your Internet service
provider, and a private IP address is allotted by your Internet router. You can select whether to configure
the IP address on the PC automatically or manually. The static IP address mode is used to manually enter
an IP address. The static IP address mode is suitable if the IP address for the PC should not be changed
(such as for a file sharing server) and generally is not used, except under such special circumstances.
When using your Central Station monitor’s or notebook PC’s LAN network, ensure you insert a LAN
cable into only one device. Otherwise, a system crash may occur.
Static IP User
1 Set the LAN network for the notebook PC to Disable. 2 Go to Control Panel Network and Internet Network and Sharing Center Change
adapter settings. Next, right-click on the notebook PC’s network device and select Disable.
3 Right-click on the Central Station monitor’s network device (marked “LAN9512/LAN9514 USB 2.0
to Ethernet 10/100 Adapter #7”), and select Use.
Be sure to perform this process before configuring the IP.
4 Configure the static IP.
Assign the static IP that is allotted to the Central Station monitor’s network device.

5 After configuring the IP, click OK. The following message will appear.
A static IP must be allotted to only one network device. The following message will appear if the
same static IP is allotted to the network devices of both the notebook PC and Central Station
monitor. (Ensure the network device that is not in use is set to Do not use.)
Select No in the message window.
To use the notebook PC’s LAN network, set the Central Station monitor’s network to Do not use
and the notebook PC’s network device to Use. Next, configure the IP settings.
6 Click Close.

Terminology

OSD(On Screen Display)
On screen display (OSD) allows you to configure on-screen settings to optimize the picture quality as
required. It allows you to change the screen brightness, tint, size and many other settings using
menus displayed on the screen.
HUB
HUB refers to a device that is a common connection point for multiple devices connected over a
network. It is used to connect multiple PCs, video devices, office devices and/or LANs over a single
network.
Dongle
Dongle refers to a device that connects to an input/output port on a PC. It contains a security key or
ID so that only the user that connects the dongle can access a specified application. The dongle on
this product contains data required to use Wireless USB and must be connected to your PC.
Coarse
Coarse refers to the frequency of radio wave vibrations per second. A higher frequency transmits a
larger amount of data and is reflected easier. A lower frequency traverses obstacles more easily and
can travel farther, but it transmits a smaller amount of data. The Coarse menu allows you to manually
adjust the frequency to obtain the optimum picture quality. Adjust Coarse referring to Standard Signal
Mode Table (page87) according to the performance of your product and enjoy improved picture
quality.
Gamma
The Gamma menu adjusts the grey scale that represents middle tones on the screen. Adjusting the
brightness brightens the whole screen, but adjusting Gamma only brightens the medium brightness.
Grey scale
Scale refers to levels of color intensity that show variations of color change from darker areas to
brighter areas on the screen. Changes to the screen brightness are expressed with black and white
variation, and grey scale refers to the medium area between black and white. Changing the grey scale
through Gamma adjustment will change the medium brightness on the screen.
Scanning rate
Scanning rate, or refresh rate, refers to the frequency of screen refreshes. Screen data is transmitted
as it refreshes to display an image, although the refreshing is invisible to the naked eye. The number of
screen refreshes is called scanning rate and is measured in Hz. A scanning rate of 60Hz means that
Appendix
91
Page 92
Appendix
the screen refreshes 60 times per second. The screen scanning rate depends on the performance of
the graphics cards in your PC and monitor.
Horizontal Frequency
Characters or images displayed on the monitor screen consist of numerous dots (pixels). Pixels are
transmitted in horizontal lines, which are then arranged vertically to create an image. The horizontal
frequency is measured in kHz and represents how many times horizontal lines per second are
transmitted and displayed on the monitor screen. A horizontal frequency of 85 means that the
horizontal lines that make up an image are transmitted 85 000 times per second, and the horizontal
frequency is indicated in 85kHz.
Vertical Frequency
One image is made of numerous horizontal lines. The vertical frequency is measured in Hz and
represents how many images can be created per second by those horizontal lines. A vertical
frequency of 60 means that an image is transmitted 60 times per second. The vertical frequency is
also called "refresh rate" and affects screen flicker.
Resolution
Resolution is the number of horizontal pixels and vertical pixels that form a screen. It represents the
level of display detail.
A higher resolution displays a greater amount of information on the screen and is suitable for
performing multiple tasks at the same time.
E.g. A resolution of 1920 x 1080 consists of 1,920 horizontal pixels (horizontal frequency) and 1,080
vertical lines (vertical resolution).
Plug & Play
The Plug & Play feature allows the automatic exchange of information between a monitor and PC to
produce an optimum display environment.
The monitor uses VESA DDC (international standard) to execute Plug & Play.
