SV1110IPEXT Instruction Guide

rear panel, it will automatically attempt to lease an IP address using DHCP. Before you
can begin the configuration process, you will need to access the DHCP log from your file
server or other device that acts as the DHCP server on the network. A simple DHCP log
looks similar to the following:
The information displayed for your own network may vary significantly from the data
displayed in the image, but should supply (at minimum) three essential details: IP
address, MAC address, and device (or machine) name for the computers and other
devices connected to your network. The values for the SV1110IPEXT tested above are
as follows:
IP Address:
192.168.22.4
MAC Address:
00-0E-C5-00-08-1A
Device Name:
(none)
The easiest way to identify your SV1110IPEXT on the network is by its MAC address, a
unique hardware identifier that is specific to your unit. The MAC address of the unit can
be found on a white sticker on the bottom of the SV1110IPEXT.
Write down this
number and keep it for future reference.
Once you locate the MAC address of your
unit in the DHCP log, you can match it to its leased IP address and proceed with the Web
configuration.
NOTE:
Once you have located the IP address of the SV1110IPEXT and wish to proceed
with the Web configuration, do not power off the unit or your DHCP server, since the
KVM might lease a different IP address. Should this happen, re-examine the DHCP log
to verify the IP address again.
NOTE:
DCHP functionality is not affected if you also connected the
WAN
port on the
SV1100IPEXT to your network (see below). However, it is not recommended that you
connect both the
WAN
and
LAN
ports to the same network segment.
Web Configuration Using Static IP
Since some networks rely on static IP addresses (every device has a pre-configured IP
address that does not change), the DHCP access method described above is not applicable
in those situations. To accommodate this type of installation, the
WAN
port on the rear
panel of the SV1110IPEXT is factory-configured with its own IP address.
NOTE:
If you connected the
LAN
port on the rear panel of the unit to your network but
did not connect the
WAN
port, you must disconnect the Ethernet cable from the
LAN
