To access the VGADVI Broadcaster web interface via the persistent static IP address:

1. Record the network settings of the workstation being used to connect to the VGADVI Broadcaster so that they can be restored later.
2. Temporarily change the network configuration on the workstation to the following:
   • Use Static IP assignment
     1. IP address: 192.168.255.249
     2. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.252
3. Establish an Ethernet connection between the VGADVI Broadcaster and the workstation by one of the following methods:
   • Connect the device to a local Ethernet network shared with the workstation.
   • Connect the device directly to the workstation’s Ethernet port using either a regular or a crossover Ethernet cable.
4. Start a web browser on the workstation and browse to: http://192.168.255.250/admin/
5. Log in as the administrator user with the user name admin and the admin password (by default there is no password); the web interface page opens.
