SV1110IPEXT Instruction Guide

port and move it to the
WAN
port before attempting a static IP installation. (If desired,
you can return the cable to the
LAN
port if you configure it with a static IP address
during the configuration process.) If you have connected
both
the
LAN
and
WAN
ports
on the KVM to your network, you may proceed with a static IP Web configuration.
The following are the default values for the
WAN
port, configured at the factory:
IP Address:
192.168.1.123
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
Default Gateway:
192.168.1.254
Broadcast:
192.168.1.255
To access the Web configuration for this product, you will need to configure the
workstation you are using to the same subnet (255.255.255.0) and also assign it a valid IP
address (i.e. 192.168.1.100). For details on how to change the IP address of your
computer (if necessary), consult your documentation or System Administrator for
assistance.
NOTE:
It is advisable to verify whether another device on your network is using the
same IP address as the SV1110IPEXT
before
connecting it to the network to avoid a
conflict. Should an IP address conflict occur with another device on the network, power
off the conflicting device or assign it another IP address before continuing the
installation.
If you are configuring more than a single SV1110IPEXT using the
factory default settings on the WAN port, they cannot be connected to the network
at the same time since they will use the same IP address.
NOTE:
Not all IP addresses are valid for a given subnet. If you are required to change
your subnet (and therefore IP address) to configure the unit, be sure the IP address you
choose is within the allowable range for the 255.255.255.0 subnet.
Once your computer is configured to the same subnet as the SV1110IPEXT, you can use
the IP address
192.168.1.123
to access the Web configuration system.
Terminal Configuration Using a Serial Cable
Configuring the SV1110IPEXT using a serial cable is the best choice if you need to pre-
configure the unit before attaching it to a network, i.e. when sending to a branch office,
customer site, etc. In general, the Web configuration is far preferable because of its
intuitive interface and the fact that you do not have to be within close physical proximity
to do the configuration. However, if you wish to use the serial cable method to configure
the SV1110IPEXT, you can use any typical communication software package (
UNIX:
tip, cu, kermit, minicom;
Windows:
HyperTerminal, kermit).
You can use either serial port on the SV1110IPEXT to access the terminal configuration
tool; your choice will dictate the type of cable you will use to make the connection. The
DTE Serial
port on the front panel requires the use of a null modem serial cable. The
DCE Serial
port on the rear panel requires the use of a straight through serial cable.
