Note:
The video capture workstation and the KVM2Ethernet
device must be on the same Ethernet subnet.
Figure 17:Connecting the KVM2Ethernet device
To connect and turn on the KVM2Ethernet device
1
Connect the black video connector and the green and purple
PS/2 connectors of the Epiphan KVM cable to the keyboard,
video, and mouse ports of the equipment to be managed. Use
the PS/2 to USB adapter if required.
2
Connect the yellow KVM connector of the Epiphan KVM cable
(the single-connector end) to the KVM2Ethernet VGA IN port.

3
Use a RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect the KVM2Ethernet Eth 1
port to a 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet network.
For best performance, connect the KVM2Ethernet to a 1000
Base-T Ethernet network. You can also improve performance
by using Ethernet cables with 4 pairs of wires. Cat5e or Cat6
cables are preferred to Cat5.
The network must be running the TCP/IP protocol. Ideally the
KVM2Ethernet should be able to connect to the Internet.
You can, optionally connect the KVM2Ethernet directly to a
video capture workstation 1-gigabit Ethernet port.
