ports on the rear panel of the SV1115IPEXT as appropriate.

6.Using a Category 5 Ethernet patch cable, connect the LAN connector on the rear panel of the SV1115IPEXT to a network data jack (usually on a hub, switch, router, or pre-wired wall jack).

7.Optional: If needed, connect the WAN connector on the rear panel of the SV1115IPEXT to a network data jack (usually a hub, switch, router, or pre-wired wall jack). For more information on the WAN port, please refer to the section Configuring SV1115IPEXT (page 7) for important information.

8.Important: If you want to continue to use the host computer locally, skip step 10 and go directly to “Connecting a Local Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor” after completing step 9. Otherwise, complete steps 9 and 10 now and continue to Configuring SV1115IPEXT (page 7).

9.Connect the power cord (provided) to an appropriate electrical outlet, plug the opposite end of the power cord into the AC/DC adapter, and insert the power connector into either the DC-in or DC-in-2 port on the rear panel of the unit. The LED underneath the power connectors will be solid green when the unit is powered.

IMPORTANT: If you wish to add power redundancy to the unit, simply connect the optional second AC/DC adapter to the unit following the instructions in step 9 above. This provides a load-balancing feature between the two power sources and allows the unit to function if one adapter fails. *Please note: The additional power supply used with SV1110IPEXT can NOT be used with SV1115IPEXT.

10. Power on the host computer.

Follow these instructions if the host computer uses a USB keyboard and mouse:

IMPORTANT: Not all computers fully support USB mice and keyboards and recognize them on startup. It is strongly recommended that you test the USB devices you will use with the host computer before configuring the SV1115IPEXT. If the computer does not work properly with USB devices, you can attempt to update the computer’s BIOS to the most recent version to see if it adds USB input device functionality. Consult your computer manufacturer for details.

1.Power down the computer to which the SV1115IPEXT will be connected (host computer). If purchased, install the unit in your rack or cabinet following the instructions that came with the 1110EXTRACK (optional, not included).

2.If present, disconnect the existing monitor and USB keyboard/mouse from the host computer.
