KVM Over the NET™ User Manual
IP Address Determination
If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the KVM Over the NET™ switch in order to give it an IP address that users can connect to. There are three methods to choose from. In each case, your client computer must be on the same network segment as the KVM Over the NET™ switch. After you have connected and logged in you can give the KVM Over the NET™ switch its fixed network address. (See Network, page 148.)
The Local Console
The easiest way to assign an IP address is from the local console. Refer to First Time Setup, page 29, for details on the procedure involved.
IP Installer
For client computers running Windows, an IP address can be assigned with the IP Installer utility. The utility can be obtained from the Download area of our website. Look under Driver/SW, and the model of your switch. After downloading the utility to your client computer, do the following:
1.Unzip the contents of IPInstaller.zip to a directory on your hard drive.
2.Go to the directory that you unzipped the IPInstaller program to and run IPInstaller.exe. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:
