You can install the Avocent Emerge ECMS2000U Extender in one of two ways:
1. Point-to-point
2. Networked
Point-to-point installation
The following instructions will enable you to install your Avocent Emerge ECMS2000U Extender
in a point-to-point configuration. In a point-to-point configuration no administrator setup of the
Computer Access Node or the User Access Node is required. This enables you to install the system
quickly, directly out-of-the-box. However, if you choose the point-to-point configuration you can
install only one Computer Access Node and User Access Node pair on a subnet. If you use this
configuration you must also locate both the Computer Access Node and the User Access Node on
the same subnet.
