KVM Configuration
The N2412A Encoders, N2422A and N2424A Decoders are KVM-capable. By default, USB connections are disabled.
Basic Setup
Follow these steps for basic KVM configuration:
1.
On the N2412A Encoder, connect the USB Mini-B port to the computer to be controlled.
2.
Connect the computer’s video output to the Encoder’s
HDMI IN
port.
3.
On the N2422A or N2424A Decoder, connect the
HDMI OUT
to the display.
4.
Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the Decoder’s USB Standard-A ports (they can be plugged into either port).
NOTE:
For wireless devices, simply plug the wireless signal receivers into these ports. For keyboard and mouse combos (with a single
connection) use the keyboard port.
5.
Using N-Able, click the
Unit Management
tab.
6.
Click the
Auto Discover
button to discover your new devices (if you have not already done so).
7.
Once discovery is complete (and you see the new units listed in N-Able), click the
Video Matrix
tab.
8.
On the matrix, click the common cell for the desired Encoder/Decoder streaming combination.
9.
Click the
Take
button to make the change to your matrix. The radio button turns green to indicate the connection was
successful.
10.
Check the
USB Enable
box on the Encoders and Decoders being used (this setting is found on the
KVM
page of the GUI). See
KVM Page
section on page 39 for more details.
11.
On the Decoder’s
KVM
page, enter the KVM Encoder’s IP address (in the
IP Address
field). See
KVM Page
section on page 61
for more details.
NOTE:
Multiaccess is enabled by default, meaning you can have multiple Decoders attached to a single Encoder. Simply go to each
Decoder’s KVM page and enable USB and input the Encoder’s IP address (or create the connection in N-Able, as described in the steps
above).
