Operating the HD KVM over IP
Configuring Unicast Mode
The term unicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from one
point to another point. It is possible to have multiple Sender and Receiver units connected
in a system. However, in unicast mode a Sender unit can communicate with only one
Receiver unit at a time. In unicast mode, the HD KVM over IP functions similiar to a HD
KVM switcher.
The illustration, below, shows 3 Sender units (S1, S2, and S3) and 2 Receiver units
(R1 and R2) on a network, operating in unicast mode. The video channels are notated
in blue.
Figure 2.1 - Unicast mode: A Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver unit at
a time.
1. Access the Web interface for each Sender and Receiver unit that will be using unicast
mode. In this example, we will start with Receiver unit R1.
2. Click the
Network tab.
NOTE: The HD KVM over IP Sender and Receiver units shipped
from the factory in unicast mode.
