When configuring with a serial terminal, e.g., Hyper Terminal, reset the
IP-KVM and immediately press the “ESC” key. You will see some device
information, and a “=>” prompt. Enter “config”, press “Enter” key and
wait for a few seconds for the configuration questions to appear. As you
proceed, the following questions will appear on the screen. To accept the
default values shown in square brackets below, press “Enter” key.
IP auto configuration (none/dhcp/bootp):
IP [192.168.0.70]:
Net mask [255.255.255.0]:
Gateway (0.0.0.0 for none) [0.0.0.0]:
IP auto-configuration
With this option, you can specify whether the IP-KVM should get its
network settings from a DHCP or BOOTP server. For DHCP, enter “dhcp”,
and for BOOTP enter “bootp”. If you do not specify any of these, the IP
auto-configuration is disabled and subsequently you will be asked for
the following network settings.
IP address
The IP address the IP-KVM. This option is only available if IP
auto-configuration is disabled.
Net mask
The net mask of the connected IP subnet. This option is only available if
IP auto-configuration is disabled.
Gateway address
The IP address of the default router for the connected IP subnet. If you
do not have a default router, enter 0.0.0.0. This option is only available
if IP auto-configuration is disabled.
