Avocent manual To install the LongView IP KVM extender on a network

Chapter 2: Installation 9

The LongView IP KVM extender has been pre-configured with factory-default network settings. If you install multiple extenders on the same subnet, you will need to assign a unique IP address to each extender via the serial port.

Table 2.1: Default Network Settings

			Default
Component	IP Address	Type	Gateway	Subnet Mask
Receiver	192.168.13.1	static	0.0.0.0	255.255.255.0
Transmitter	192.168.13.2	static	0.0.0.0	255.255.255.0

To install the LongView IP KVM extender on a network:

1.Connect the transmitter to the remote workstation as described previously in Point-to-point installation on page 6. Connect one end of the UTP cable to the transmitter’s RJ-45 connector and the other end to the Ethernet network.

2.Connect the receiver to the peripherals as described above in Point-to-point installation on page 6. Use a length of UTP cable to connect the receiver to the Ethernet network via the RJ- 45 connector on the rear of the receiver.

3.Turn on the receiver.

4.Use the serial menu to re-configure the network settings for the transmitter and then the receiver. See Configuring Network Settings on page 13 for more information.

NOTE: If the receiver and transmitter are to be located on different subnets, configure their network settings before you connect to the network. If there are already transmitter/receiver pairs operating on the subnet, configure network settings of new transmitter/receiver pairs before connecting them to the network.

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