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.
