Establishing a KVM-over-IP™
connection for the first time
The
DP1.2-Vision-IP
series devices are equipped with two network interfaces:

Transmission: The KVM data is transmitted via the interface to the counterpart station
via a KVM-over-IP™ connection.
 Management:
This interface allows the integration of a device into a separate net-
work for accessing the web application and using the extended network functions
(network filter, syslog,...) of the devices.
G&D’s
KVM-over-IP™
technology makes it possible to transmit signals between the
computer and the console module using a Gigabit Ethernet (layer 3).
The communication between two modules requires various settings. In the default
settings, the modules are configured in a way that a computer and a console module
can immediately establish a direct connection.
All computer modules are preconfigured with the IP address
172.17.0.10
, all console
modules with the IP address
172.17.0.11
.
IMPORTANT: Please mind the separate instructions regarding Initial configuration of
the network settings on page 36.
IMPORTANT: If you use the KVM extender as a matrix module with the IP matrix
switch
ControlCenter IP
or
ControlCenter-IP-XS
, you can conveniently set up the
KVM-
over-IP™ connection
via the web application of the IP matrix switch (see instructions
for the
web application of the IP matrix switch
).
Manual configuration as described in this chapter is
not
necessary in this case.
IMPORTANT: These IP addresses are preconfigured as ' fallback ' if no IP address
could be obtained via a DHCP server during the boot process. If IP addresses are
obtained via a DHCP server, the preconfigured IP addresses are no longer valid.
IMPORTANT: Change the default IP addresses before integrating several computer
or console modules into the productive network.
ADVICE: If you do not know the IP address of an already configured user or com-
puter module, it can be determined via the log messages of the device. For more
information, see the section Determining network settings via service port on page 102.
