Establishing a KVM-over-IP™
connection for the first time
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 .
Default setting of the modules
The default setting of the modules allows users to quickly establish a direct connec-
tion between a computer and a console module. The OSD lets you adjust the config-
uration of both modules after their initial operation.
Both the IP addresses and the KVM-over-IP settings are preconfigured as follows:
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:
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 96.
