Using the QGE 100 Viewer Program

The QGE 100 Viewer software displays QGE 100 sources on your viewing computer. It can display one source at a time.

Starting the Viewer Program

For you to start using the QGE 100 Viewer software, the RJ-45 LAN connector on the QGE 100 rear panel must be connected to a switch or router that is connected to the same network as your viewing device or computer. (The viewing device can be connected to the same switch or router as the QGE 100 if desired.) See “Connecting the QGE 100 to the Network” in the “Installation and Operation” section for more information about making these Ethernet connections.

1.With the QGE 100 powered on, open the Viewer program by doing either of the following:

•Double-click the QGE 100 Viewer short cut icon that was placed on your viewing computer desktop during installation, or navigate to the executable file by opening C:\Program Files\Extron\QGE 100 Viewer\QGE 100 Viewer.exe.

•On your desktop, click Start > All Programs > Extron Electronics > QGE 100 > QGE 100 Viewer > QGE 100 Viewer.

The QGE 100 Viewer software searches the network for any available QGE 100s. (This may take several seconds, depending on the number of QGEs that are available.) When the search is complete, the main Viewer window opens, displaying the selected source (if one is connected) and a list of the QGE100s that were detected on the network.

TIP: To ensure that up-to-date information is displayed, click the Refresh button on the toolbar at the top of this window.

NOTE: QGEs on different subnets must be manually added to the list using the

Add QGE 100 option on the Connection menu (see “Adding QGEs to the list” on page 26).

2.From the Channel list (right pane of the window), connect to one of the listed QGEs by doing one of the following:

•Click on its name to highlight it, then click the Connect button on the toolbar.

•Click on the QGE name, then select Connect from the Connection drop-down menu at the top of the screen.

•Double-click on the name of the QGE that you want to view.

See “Connecting to a QGE 100 Source” on page 38 for more information.

The source connected to the selected QGE is displayed in the Source Window (left pane). If the source does not appear, click the Refresh button on the toolbar.
