Table 4-1. Initial network configuration

Warning

If the DHCP connection fails on boot up, the IP-KVM switch will not have an IP address.

If this initial configuration does not meet your requirements, the following describes the initial IP configuration that is necessary to access the IP-KVM switch for the first time.

4.1.1 Initial configuration via DHCP server

By default, the IP-KVM switch will try to contact a DHCP server in the subnet to which it is physically connected. If a DHCP server is found, it may provide a valid IP address, gateway address and net mask. Before you connect the device to your local subnet, be sure to complete the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server. It is recommended to configure a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of the IP-KVM switch . You can find the MAC address on the outside of the shipping box and labeled on the bottom side.

If this initial configuration does not meet your local requirements, use the setup tool to adjust the values to your needs. The setup tool can be found on the CD ROM delivered with this package. You can follow the procedure described below.

MAC Address Detection

Connect the IP-KVM switch to your computer either via local network, or via USB. Start the setup tool from the CD ROM on the computer that the IP-KVM switch is installed. Depending on the connection (USB or network), the device detection is different. A window opens as seen below:
