Configuring Unicast Mode
The term
unicast
is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from one
point to another point. It is possible to have multiple Sender and Receiver units connected
in a system. However, in unicast mode a Sender unit can communicate with only one
Receiver unit at a time. In
unicast
mode, the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output
functions similiar to a DVI KVM switcher.
The illustration, below, shows 3 Sender units (S1, S2, and S3) and 2 Receiver units
(R1 and R2) on a network, operating in
unicast
mode. The video channels are notated
in blue.
Figure 2.1 - Unicast mode: A Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver unit at
a time.
