Configuring SVxx41HDIE

SVxx41HDIE offers four distinct methods for configuring the unit for your network. Which method will work best will depend on your level of experience and your specific network configuration.

Please note: Connecting the remote computers prior to following the steps outlined below can result in system instability. Please refrain from connecting the remote computers, until the local peripherals have been connected.

Web Configuration Using the On-Screen Display

Upon boot-up, including following a reset, SVxx41HDIE will display a window on the local video output (front VGA connector), that will appear as follows:

Assigned IP Address

The initial screen will display the IP address assigned by your existing DHCP server (if present on your network). If no DHCP server is detected, a factory assigned IP address will be displayed in its place (10.0.0.15 by default). Please make note of the assigned IP address, as you will need to enter it into your web browser to access the Web Interface.

If static IP addresses are assigned, you will likely need to change the Net Mask, IP Address and other details, prior to connecting via your Web browser. If this is the case, connect a local PS/2 keyboard and press the Enter key. In order to proceed, you will require an administrative username and password. By default, the username and password are admin. You will be given the opportunity to change the password (recommended) to be performed once the configuration is complete.

Alternatively, you may press the Setup button on the front panel, and you will not be asked to enter the admin password if you just press Enter.

At the main OSD menu (pictured below), you will be given several basic setup options. To configure SVxx41HDIE to your required network settings, use the Network Setup Wizard. To select from the menus provided, use the arrow keys on your keyboard. At
