This procedure is useful if you do not have access to a local

Ethernet network and you want to connect a network printer.

This procedure can also be useful if you have only one Ethernet

connection and you want to connect both the VGA Printer and a

network printer to the network.

To connect a network printer directly to the VGA Printer

ETH 2 port

In this configuration the ETH 1 and ETH 2 interfaces act like a

2-port hub allowing both the network printer and the PC to

connect to the VGA Printer device.

For best performance you should connect the PC to ETH 1 and the

printer to ETH 2. Also, the overhead required to forward packets

between ETH 1 and ETH 2 can affect the video capture

performance of the device. To improve performance do not print

from the PC and the VGA Printer device at the same time.

Note: This procedure uses example IP addresses for the network

printer, the PC, and the VGA Printer device. You can use any

three addresses as long as they are on the same subnet.

1 Manually configure the network printer with an IP address

netmask, and gateway. For example:

IP address: 192.168.10.102

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.10.200

2 Connect the VGA Printer ETH 1 port directly to the PC’s

Ethernet port using a cross-over cable.
