Private WAN setup
This section provides guidelines to set up Extio 3 IP KVM extenders to work over private
wide-area-networks (WAN).
Private WAN setup requirements
The following are required to set up Extio 3 IP KVM extenders over a private WAN:
Firmware version
- Extio 3 firmware version 3.01.50 or higher.
Bandwidth
- You need to ensure that the required network bandwidth is available for
your setup. Bandwidth requirement is tied to the video resolution, number of video
streams, and the application running on the source system. For more information,
“Typical bandwidth requirements”, page 15
.
VPN tunnel
- A VPN tunnel needs to be established between the transmitter and
receiver. For more information,
see “VPN configuration”, page 17
Low network latency
- Latency is the measure of time it takes for a data packet to travel
from one point to another. When configuring your WAN network, it would be best to
have as low a latency as possible.
Typical bandwidth requirements
The bandwidth required is typically as specified in the following table:
