Change the VGA adapter's IP address
If your computer's IP address can not be changed, if for example your entire network is on a
non-DHCP network with different subnet than the VGA adapter's default IP address, you can
follow the steps below to configure the VGA adapter to match your network's subnet.
a) With the USB server application open, right-click on the main VGA video adapter device
and select Server Configuration.
b) Uncheck the Use DHCP option and manually enter an IP address and Subnet Mask that
matches your network settings.
c) Click Set to save your new settings and return to the main window.
1. Your IP extender will appear in the Device list, with the connected VGA display listed below
it. Select the VGA display from the Device list, then click the Connect Device button.
Note: if your VGA display has a built-in audio controller, the audio controller will also be
listed in the Device list, along with any attached USB peripheral devices. Each device
must be connected using the Connect Device button individually, for your computer to
recognize the device.
2. After you click the Connect Device button, the status of the device will change to locally
connected, and your computer will detect the device and automatically install the required
drivers.
Notes:
• To disconnect any device, select it from the Device list and click the Disconnect
Device button.
• When connecting an audio controller, the controller becomes the default audio
device on your computer. Windows does not allow multiple audio devices to be
used simultaneously.
3. Now that your computer has installed the drivers for your display adapter, the DisplayLink
icon will appear in your Windows system tray. Close the USB Server software and click the
DisplayLink icon.
4. Once you click the icon, a menu will open. From the menu click Video Setup, to launch the
Windows display settings.
5. Use the Windows display settings to configure the monitor to your desired settings,
including resolution and orientation.
