Plug in all system components and turn on the input device (such as a desktop or laptop computers) and the output monitor. Use the LAN port to upload one or more still images to the GSS. Select either the pass-through input or one of the stored still images to output (see Selecting an image to display). The image should appear on the monitor connected to the output.

Power-on indications

Power is applied when the power cord is connected to an AC source. When AC power is applied, the GSS performs a self-test that shows the model name and the firmware version in the LCD display. After approximately 3 seconds, the LCD reverts to its default display cycle, alternating among four displays that show the model name, the currently displayed image (the pass- through input or one of the previously loaded images by its file name), the output resolution (of a stored image only; the pass- through input is output exactly as it is input), and the unit’s IP address (figure 3-2).

The current settings are saved in nonvolatile memory. When power is applied, the latest configuration is retrieved.

NOn figure 3-2 and all other flowcharts in this chapter, dashed lines indicate screen changes that are the result of a timeout function.
