Page Title

Getting Started

The HD KVM over IP Sender and Receiver units can either be connected over a Local Area 

Network (LAN) or they can be directly connected to one another.

By default, the HD KVM over IP is shipped in Auto IP mode.  In Auto IP mode, each 

Sender and Receiver unit assigns itself a unique IP address within the range of 

169.254.x.x.  Auto IP mode is only used when Sender and Receiver units are directly 

connected to one another.  When connecting to a network, the HD KVM over IP must be 

set to DHCP mode or Static IP mode.  See 

1.  Connect a CAT-5e (or better) cable from the 

LAN port on the Sender unit to the 

LAN 1 port on the Receiver unit.

Although any 

LAN port on the Receiver unit can be used, using the LAN 1 port makes 

it easy to identify which Ethernet cable is used to connect the Sender and Receiver 

unit.  

LAN 2 and LAN 3 ports can then be used for connecting additional devices or 

when daisy-chaining Receiver units.

2.  Use the included HDMI cable to connect the Hi-Def source to the 

HDMI In port on the 

Sender unit.

3.  Connect a HDMI cable from the Hi-Def display to the 

HDMI Out port on the Receiver 

unit.
