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.

Connect the power adapter to the KVM2Ethernet.
Figure 8: Connecting to the Ethernet network and power
The KVM2Ethernet powers on and the LEDs go through their
power on sequence:
• When power is first connected, the blue LED lights up.
• A few seconds later the green LED lights up.
• After about 20 seconds, the blue LED turns off leaving the
green LED on to indicate that the KVM2Ethernet has
started up and can start capturing images.
