IP Address Determination
If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the
RCM Series of KVM Over IP Switch in order to give it an IP address that users
can connect to. There are three methods to choose from. In each case, your
client computer must be on the same network segment as the RCM Series of
KVM Over IP Switch. After you have connected and logged in you can give
the RCM Series of KVM Over IP Switch its fixed network address.
(See Network, page 164.)
The Local Console
The easiest way to assign an IP address is from the local console. Refer to First
Time Setup, page 33, for details on the procedure involved.
IP Installer
For client computers running Windows, an IP address can be assigned with the
IP Installer utility. The utility can be obtained from the Download area of our
website. Look under Driver/SW, and the model of your switch. After
downloading the utility to your client computer, do the following:
1. Unzip the contents of IPInstaller.zip to a directory on your hard drive.
2. Go to the directory that you unzipped the IPInstaller program to and run
IPInstaller.exe. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:
