DXT-H4
Quad Display KVM Extender Host
Quick Start Guide
QS-THA4-1110 v2.0 August 2020
The Amulet Hotkey DXT-H4 is a quad-display KVM Extender Host. The
DXT-H4 uses PCoIP® for secure and high-performance remote access for any
workstation, laptop, closed system or legacy PC. The DXT-H4 sends data to a
remote zero client using a LAN/WAN. Almost any computer with USB and digital
video can be integrated into a mission-critical, PCoIP remote-desktop solution.
You will need
DXT-H4 quad-display KVM Extender Host (RJ45 or SFP variant);
power supply with separate mains lead;
cables for video/audio/USB (available separately in 1 m and 2.8 m sets);
(optional) SFP module, available separately. See the SFP Modules
datasheet or contact Technical Support to discuss compatible modules.

Connect the DXT-H4 to the host computer
(see
Caution:
!
Switch off the power outlet before connecting the power supply.
1
For each video cable, push the DisplayPort connector into the host PC
GPU(s) and the mini DisplayPort connector into the socket on the DXT-H4
rear panel (1).

If used, push the SFP module into the network port on the rear panel (3).
See the SFP Modules datasheet for a list of compatible modules.
2
Connect the network cable from the network port (3) to your LAN/WAN.
DHCP or static IP assignment
If your network uses DHCP, the DXT-H4 obtains its IP address from the DHCP
server. If no DHCP server is available, the DXT-H4 times out after three minutes
and adopts its default IP address of 192.168.1.100.
Caution:
!
Change the default IP address as soon as possible.
