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
performance of our products.

Installation Guide Page 3
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.
Installation and getting started VGA2Ethernet software features
Page 6 VGA2Ethernet
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.

VGA2Ethernet
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.
See “Installing VGA2Ethernet drivers and
application” on page 12.
Installation and getting started Video capture workstation requirements
Installation Guide Page 7
Video capture workstation
requirements
The VGA2Ethernet device requires that you download and install
the VGA2Ethernet drivers and application on a video capture
workstation PC with the following minimum hardware and
software configuration.
Optimizing VGA2Ethernet performance
For the best performance, the capacity of the Ethernet connection
between the VGA2Ethernet device and the video capture
workstation should be as high as possible. The video capture
workstation should have a 1-gigabit Ethernet port and the
network should be a 1-gigabit network that includes high-
bandwidth 1-gigabit switches.
You can improve performance by using Ethernet cables with
4 pairs of wires. Cat5e or Cat6 cables are preferred to Cat5.
You can also improve performance by connecting the
VGA2Ethernet device directly to your video capture workstation.
This connection makes all of the 1-gigabit bandwidth available for
transmitting captured image data.
Processor speed Solo/Duo: 2.66 GHz.
Ethernet
port/Ethernet
network
1-gigabit recommended. Also works with
100 Mbps or 10 Mbps but with reduced
performance.
RAM memory 256 MB DDR2
Hard disk space 5 MB
Operating
system Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2, or 32-bit and
64-bit Vista.

Connecting and powering on a
VGA2Ethernet device
To connect a VGA2Ethernet device you need:
•AVGAvideosource.
• An Ethernet connection between the VGA2Ethernet and the
video capture workstation.
Note: The video capture workstation and the VGA2Ethernet must
be on the same Ethernet subnet.
Figure 3: Connecting the VGA2Ethernet device
To connect and turn on the VGA2Ethernet device
1Use a VGA cable to connect the VGA source to the
VGA2Ethernet VGA IN port.
You can optionally connect a monitor to the VGA2Ethernet
VGA OUT port. You can also use an active VGA splitter to
split the VGA signal between a monitor and the
VGA2Ethernet. Splitting the VGA signal may reduce the
image quality.

2Use a RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect the VGA2Ethernet Eth 1
port to a 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet network.
For best performance, connect the VGA2Ethernet to a 1000
Base-T Ethernet network. You can also improve performance
by using Ethernet cables with 4 pairs of wires. Cat5e or Cat6
cables are preferred to Cat5.
The network must be running the TCP/IP protocol. Ideally the
VGA2Ethernet should be able to connect to the Internet.
You can optionally connect the VGA2Ethernet device directly
to a video capture workstation 1-gigabit Ethernet port.
3Connect the power adapter to the VGA2Ethernet.
Figure 5: Connecting to the Ethernet network and power
The VGA2Ethernet powers on and the LEDs go through their
power on sequence:
• When power is first connected, the blue LED lights up.
• A few seconds later the green LED lights up.
• After about 20 seconds, the blue LED turns off leaving the
green LED on to indicate that the VGA2Ethernet has
started up and can start capturing images.

Connecting and powering on a
KVM2Ethernet Device
This section describes how to connect a KVM2Ethernet device to
manage a computerized machine with a VGA output and
keyboard/mouse input.
• If the machine to be managed has a VGA port and PS2 mouse
and keyboard ports you can connect the KVM2Ethernet
directly.
• The KVM2Ethernet also comes with PS/2 to USB adapters that
you can use if the machine to be managed has USB ports for
mouse and keyboard connections.
• The KVM2Ethernet video connector is a VGA connector.
Figure 6: Connecting the KVM2Ethernet device
To connect and turn on the KVM2Ethernet device
1Connect the multi-connector end of the KVM cable to the
machine to be managed keyboard, video, and mouse ports.
Use PS/2 to USB adapters if required.
2Connect the single-connector end of the KVM cable to the
KVM2Ethernet VGA IN port.
You can optionally connect a monitor to the KVM2Ethernet
VGA OUT port.
