Using
a Router to network with your Visualizer computer
What you'll need:
- (2) Non-crossover (patch) ethernet cable (cat-5)
- Wholehog
Visualizer Connectivity Drivers on your Computer
- Visualizer Program (ESP Vision, Wyg,
MSD, Capture)
Placing a pre-configured router in the network between your console and
your visualizer computer will allow the router to set compatible TCP/IP
settings.

2. In the new window, click "View Network Connections" from

4. From the drop-down menu, select "Properties."
5. In the new window that opens, select "Internet

starting your Visualizer.
2. After launching ESP Vision, choose "Hog 3" as your DMX
source.
3. The visualizer will then launch, along with your
connectivity driver. You can see the status of your
connection in the window. The process will look like these
