Addressing, To discover a DHCP-allocated IP address

Addressing

When the LINDY KVM IP is situated within the local network, you will need to give it an appropriate local IP address and IP network mask. This is achieved most easily using the DHCP server option which will apply these details automatically. If a DHCP server is not available on the network, then these details need to be applied manually in accordance with the network administrator.

The firewall/router must then be informed to route incoming requests to port 5900 or port 80 (if available) through to the local address being used by the

LINDY KVM IP.

To discover a DHCP-allocated IP address

Once a DHCP server has allocated an IP address, you will need to know it in order to access the LINDY KVM IP via a network connection. To discover the allocated IP address:

1In the local Network configuration screens, set the ‘Use DHCP’ option to ‘Yes’ and select ‘Save’. Once the page is saved, the LINDY KVM IP will contact the DHCP server and obtain a new address.

2Re-enter the same ‘Network configuration’ screen where the new IP address and network mask should be displayed.

DNS addressing

As with any other network device, you can arrange for your LINDY KVM IP to be accessible using a name, rather than an IP address. This can be achieved in two main ways:



LINDY KVM IP has a local address and net mask, i.e.

IP address: 192.168.0.3

Net mask: 255.255.255.0

Access Switch Plus

LOC REM VNC 100 LNK PWR

Remote user with VNC viewer accesses IP

Internetaddress: 129.7.1.10 and automatically uses port

5900.

Firewall/router address: 129.7.1.10

The firewall routes the request from the VNC viewer on port 5900 through to the LINDY KVM IP at local address 192.168.0.3

•For small networks that do not have a DNS (Domain Name System) server, edit the ‘hosts’ files on the appropriate remote systems. Using the hosts file, you can manually link the LINDY KVM IP address to the required name.

•For larger networks, declare the IP address and required name to the DNS server of your local network.

The actual steps required to achieve either of these options are beyond the scope of this document.
