Overview

Operations

Operating a remote workstation through the LongView IP KVM extender is no different than working directly connected to your workstation. When you turn on the receiver, a connection is automatically established with the workstation.

While the default settings of your LongView IP KVM extender will work with most systems, you may choose to change settings to better fit your system.You can change internal settings and upgrade the LongView KVM IP extender via the serial menu.

LED identification

Front panel

There are two blue LEDs on the front panel of the receiver. The PWR LED will light up when the receiver has been turned on. The ACTIVE LED will blink slowly until the receiver establishes a connection with the transmitter. When a connection has been established between the receiver and the transmitter, the ACTIVE LED will stop blinking and will remain lit.

Rear panel

Two LEDs are built into the RJ-45 connectors on the rear of the receiver and transmitter. The following table illustrates their operation.
