3 1. Installation and Getting Started 1. Installation and Getting Started This section describes the basics of how to connect a VGA Recorder device to a VGA source and to an Ethernet network. This section also describes how to install the Epiphan Network Discovery Utility on a workstation running Windows and use the Utility to find devices on the network. Finally, this section describes how to connect to and use the VGA Recorder Web admin interface to save recordings to the VGA Recorder internal hard disk and to provide viewer access to these recordings. You can also archive recordings to an FTP, CIFS (Windows network share), or rsync server on your network. You can also save recordings an external USB storage device such as a USB hard disk or flash drive. See the User Guide for more information. With the Standard and Pro you can also save recordings to a recordable CD or DVD using the optional DVD writer.

12 1. Installation and Getting Started Connect and Power on a Lite Device To connect and turn on the Lite device 1 Use a VGA cable to connect the VGA source to the VGA Recorder Lite VGA IN port. You can use an active VGA splitter to split the VGA signal between a monitor and the Lite device. Note: Passive splitters reduce the quality of the VGA signal. Good quality active splitters, (available from Epiphan) do not usually affect signal quality. You should use a splitter with the highest available bandwidth. Figure 6: Connecting to a VGA source LEDs VGA IN 2 Use a RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect the Lite Eth 1 port to your 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet network. For best performance, connect the Lite device to a 1000 Base-T Ethernet. The network must be running the TCP/IP protocol. Ideally the Lite device should be able to connect to the Internet. 3 Connect the power adapter to the Lite device. Figure 7: Connecting to the Ethernet network and power Power Input Eth 1 Page 12

13 1. Installation and Getting Started Connect and Power on a Lite Device The Lite device 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 device has started up and can start recording images. 4 Start up the VGA source. The Red LED should start flashing indicating that the VGA Recorder Lite device is recording images. To confirm that the Lite device is receiving images from the VGA source: Check to see if the Lite red LED is blinking indicating that device is recording images. If the red LED does not start flashing check the VGA source to make sure it is transmitting a VGA image. Also check the cable between the Lite device and the VGA source to make sure it is connected correctly. You can also connect a monitor to VGA OUT to check for the presence of a signal. 5 Log into the Web admin interface See Connecting to the Web admin interface on page 25. Install Guide Page 13

22 1. Installation and Getting StartedUsing the Network Discovery Utility to Find the IP Address of Using the Network Discovery Utility to Find the IP Address of the VGA Recorder Device You can use the Network Discovery Utility on a Windows PC to find any device and its IP address on the network. You can also use the Network Discovery Utility to connect to the Web admin interface. The device must be assigned an IP address on the network so that you can connect to the Web admin interface. The can get an IP address from a DHCP server if there is one on the network. If the network does not have a DHCP server, see the User Guide. This section assumes that the network has a DHCP server and that the DHCP server gives the device an IP address on the network. To install the Network Discovery Utility to display the VGA Recorder IP address 1 Find the latest Network Discovery Utility on a download page: Lite download page: Lecture Recorder download page: Standard download page: Pro download page: Page 22

23 1. Installation and Getting StartedUsing the Network Discovery Utility to Find the IP Address of 2 Select Download NetworkDiscovery Utility. Make sure you note the download destination folder. 3 Run NetworkDiscovery.exe. 4 Select Search to find Epiphan devices such as any VGA Recorder on your network. Note: The Network Discovery Utility can only find the Epiphan devices on the same network as your Windows PC. If the device is operating, has received an IP address from a DHCP server, and is connected to the network, the Network Discovery Utility should find it and it should appear on the Network Discovery Utility display. The Network Discovery Utility also displays the IP address of the VGA Recorder device. You can use this IP address to connect to the Web admin interface. You can also select Web config from the Network Discovery utility to display the Web admin interface.
