2.2.4 Fixing the USB Start-Up Delay in Windows

When DLP LightCrafter is first connected to a Windows system, the Local Area Connection created

automatically obtains an IP address. This "Identifying..." process for the Local Area Connection can take

over a minute on some systems. To decrease the time required for DLP LightCrafter to connect, the Local

Area Network assigned an IP address allowing the computer to connect to the EVM within seconds after

fully booting. Follow these steps to assign an IP address for the Local Area Connection:

1. Open the Control Panel and type "Network Connections" into the search bar.

2. Select "View Network Connections." See Figure 2-14.

3. Connect DLP LightCrafter to the computer via a mini-USB cable.

4. Power on DLP LightCrafter. While it boots, a new Local Area Connection in your Network Connections

will appear.

5. Wait until the LAN connection stops "Identifying" or "Acquiring" a network address. See Figure 2-15.
