KE6910 LAN Installation
Setting up the units on a network allows point-to-point, point-to-multipoint,
and multipoint-to-multipoint computer to console operation by connecting
multiple KE6910 / KE6912 devices on the same TCP/IP LAN. Prior to setup
we recommended laying out the plans for your KE installation using our
performance guide (see
Keys to Network Performance
, page 299).
Note: 1. The units are preconfigured with factory-default network settings. If
you install only one set of KE Series units, you do not need to change
these default network settings. See
Default IP Addresses
, page 99, for
further details.
2. In a network setup with multiple units, each Transmitter and Receiver
must be configured with a unique IP address. See
Network
Configuration
, page 98, for further details.
3. We recommended using 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire
speeds, non-blocking with 1Gbps/1.5Mpps performance per port)
between KE Series devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/
100Mbps switches might cause poor performance.
4. In multipoint configurations, the IGMP and flow control function of
your network switches/hubs must be enabled to avoid the
deterioration of data throughput. To ensure functionality use a layer 3
switch that supports IGMP queries.
5. If your network uses cascaded switches, please check to ensure the
data throughput is sufficient.
6. To get the best performance, we suggest creating a private network
for KE devices, as they are bandwidth-intensive devices.
Make sure that all the equipment is powered off.
The installation is similar to that of
KE6910 / KE6912
on page 62, with the
difference in connecting the transmitter and the receiver to a local area TCP/IP
network. Refer to the diagrams on the following page and connect accordingly.
Repeat these steps for each Transmitter and Receiver you wish to install on the
network then power on the computer(s).
