3. G4K management software
There are three main groups of tools in this software to help users design a creative video wall layout.
3.1. Device
Users are able to configure G4K devices and connect the devices to control PC in this section.
3.1.1. Connect through IP
The default IP address of G4K is 172.21.102.65. Users need to change the IP address of control
PC to the same IP group of G4K.
Open the ‘Ethernet Properties’ windows on Control PC
Highlight the TCP/IPv4 in Networking and click the Properties button to open the TCP/IPv4
Properties window
Change the ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’ to ‘Use the following IP address to set up
a static IP address
IP address: any address between 172.21.102.1 and 172.21.102.255 except the
address which has been taken by the G4Ks
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 172.21.102.1
G4K User Guide
Once the control PC IP address having been set up, press the Connect button to connect
the G4K.
The Connect button changes to Disconnect button and the very last video wall layout used
in this device is shown in grid area indicating the connection has been set up successfully.
If a dialog window as below comes up, the connection was failed.
Please check if control PC IP address is correctly set up
Please check the network cable connection between PC and G4K.
G4K User Guide
3.1.2. Connect multiple G4K as daisy chain
Connecting multiple G4K in one system can only be done in IP connection mode. Since the
default IP address of each G4K is same, users need to change the IP addresses of these devices
to avoid conflict.
Users need to connect the G4K one by one using default IP address: 172.21.102.65 to set
up the connection between device and control PC.
Right click the Device Name and then choose Change Device IP Address to open the
‘Change Device IP Address’ dialog window.
Please give a unique IP address for each device in the same system.
e.g.
Device 1 172.21.102.65
Device 2 172.21.102.66
Device 3 172.21.102.67
Device 4 172.21.102.68
G4K User Guide
After the IP addresses have been set up, add the quantity of the G4Ks into Device Count
and press Apply button.
Give a name for each device
Type the unique IP address for each device
Set the Port to 1024 for all devices
Use a network switcher to connect all the G4Ks to the control PC
Press Connect button to connect all the G4Ks into one system
If a G4Ks daisy chain system needs to be set up, please go to ‘3.3.2 Daisy chain with
multiple G4K’ to set up each G4K
