The HD KVM over IP Sender and Receiver units can be connected over a Local Area
Network (LAN) or they can be directly connected to one another. We will cover both
installations.
Local Area Network (LAN) Connection
In order to connect the HD KVM over IP to a Local Area Network (LAN), both the Sender
and Receiver unit must first be set to DHCP mode or Static IP mode. DHCP mode will use
the DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address for each Sender and Receiver unit
that is connected to the network. Static IP mode will allow the IP address for each Sender
and Receiver unit to be configured manually. Contact your network administrator if
necessary.
1. Use the included HDMI cable to connect the Hi-Def source to the HDMI In port on the
Sender unit.
2. Connect an HDMI cable from the Hi-Def display to the HDMI Out port on the Receiver
unit.
3. Connect a shielded CAT-5e (or better) cable from the Link port on the Sender unit
to the network.
4. Connect a shielded CAT-5e (or better) cable from one of the
Ethernet
ports on the
Receiver unit to the network.
5. Connect the included 5V DC locking power supplies to both the Sender unit and
Receiver unit. Do not overtighten the locking connectors. Connect the included AC
power cords from the power supplies to available electrical outlets.
6. Obtain the IP address of both the Sender and Receiver unit by disconnecting the
HDMI cable from the Sender unit (or from the source device). Information, similar to
the illustration on the next page, will be displayed.
