The DVI KVM over IP features EDID Management. Before the source can send video 

(and/or audio) data, the source device (connected to each Sender unit) reads the EDID 

(Extended Display Identification Data) from the displays which are connected to each 

Receiver unit. The EDID contains information about what type of audio/video data can

be sent by each source. 

By default, the (downstream) EDID from the display, connected to the Receiver unit, is 

used.  However, under certain circumstances, it may be desirable to use the internal EDID 

which is stored in the Sender unit.

1.  Access the Web interface for the Sender unit.

2.  Click the 

Functions tab.

3.  Click the 

Load Internal EDID button.
