4. Wait for the system to complete the power up sequence. The green power LED is illuminated when boot up is
complete.
Step 2: Confirm signals from input sources
Once the VGADVI Recorder is powered up, you can confirm that signals from input sources are received by the device.
1. To ensure an input source is properly connected to the DVI input port, connect a monitor to the DVI output
port on the VGADVI Recorder.
2. View the monitor to confirm a signal is sent to the DVI input port.
3. To confirm high quality data is captured from an S-video input source, connect the source to an S-video or
composite receiver, such as a TV or monitor before connecting to the VGADVI Recorder and confirm that a high
quality signal is generated.
4. To ensure an audio signal is sent to the VGADVI Recorder, connect a speaker or headset to the audio output
port and listen to the captured audio.
Now you are ready to capture, record and stream.
Step 3: Admin discovery and login
The VGADVI Recorder is managed from a web interface. This interface acts as a configuration utility and system
monitor. The first time you access the web interface you may not know the IP address of the device.
The steps below use DNS-based service discovery (a type of zero-configuration networking) to access the device.
Depending on the operating system on your admin computer you may need to install some software before you can
use DNS-based discovery.

Linux
The Avahi implementation used for DNS-based discovery is shipped with most Linux
distributions. If necessary, check with your administrator to ensure you have the Avahi
package installed.
This quick start is meant for systems that support DHCP and DNS, however if your system does not support
either protocol, refer to Connect to the Admin Interface for other discovery methods. Return here when
prompted for the web interface user name and password.
