Local Area Network (LAN) Connection

IMPORTANT: The use of a Gigabit switch with 8K “jumbo frame” capability is required when connecting the DVI KVM over IP to a network.

In order to connect the DVI KVM over IP to a Local Area Network (LAN), both the Sender and Receiver unit must first be set to DHCP mode or static IP mode. DHCP mode will use the DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address for each Sender and Receiver unit that is connected to the network. Static IP mode will allow the IP address for each Sender and Receiver unit to be configured manually. Contact your network administrator if necessary.

1.Follow the connection steps under Using a Direct Connection.

2.Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the Receiver unit to the network.

If DHCP mode will be used, connect the Receiver unit to a DHCP server.

3.Access the Web interface for the Sender unit by entering its IP address in the address bar of the Web browser. If the IP address is not known, see Displaying the IP Address

4.Set the DVI KVM over IP to the desired network mode (DHCP or static). Refer to Setting the IP Mode for instructions on setting the network mode.

5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the Receiver unit.
