Transmitters and user stations may be configured for use on a single subnet or for use across routers. Use of routers, however, will cause a slight increase in end-to-end latencies, which may not be acceptable for all applications.

The LongView IP KVM extender system has been preconfigured with factory-default network settings. If you install only one LongView IP KVM extender system on a subnet, you do not need to change these default network settings. If you install multiple extender systems on the same subnet, you will need to assign a unique IP address to each extender system or configure them for DHCP. This can be done via the serial port and the IP address must be assigned before displaying multiple devices on the same network. See Accessing the serial menu on page 25 for more information.

NOTE: The DHCP server must be configured to assign IP addresses to the unit that do not expire. Do not change the mode to DHCP unless the equipment is connected to a DHCP server.

To install the LongView IP KVM extender system on a network:

1.With the transmitter already connected to the target computer, connect it to the LAN via the unit’s RJ-45 connector.

2.Connect the user station to the peripherals. Use the UTP cable to connect the user station to the Ethernet network via the RJ-45 connector on the rear of the user station.

3.Turn on the user station. A connection will be automatically established with the target computer.

4.Use the serial menu to reconfigure the network settings for the transmitter and then the user station.

NOTE: If the user station and transmitter are to be located on different subnets, configure their network settings before you connect to the network.

NOTE: If there are already transmitter and user station pairs operating on the subnet, configure network settings of new transmitter and user station pairs before connecting them to the network.

5.Repeat this procedure for each transmitter and user station pair you wish to install on the network.
