4. Configuration

4.1 Initial Configuration

If DHCP mode is enabled (IP auto configuration = DHCP), the IP-KVM switch will try to
contact a DHCP server in the subnet to which it is physically connected. If a DHCP server is
found, it may provide a valid IP address, gateway address and net mask. Before you
connect the device to your local subnet, be sure to complete the corresponding configuration
of your DHCP server. It is recommended to configure a fixed IP assignment to the MAC
address of the IP-KVM switch. You can find the MAC address labeled on the bottom side of
the metal housing.
If DHCP mode is disabled (IP auto configuration = None), the factory default IP settings are
as below:
IP address
Subnet mask
Default Gateway
IP-KVM switch Setup Tool
If this initial configuration does not meet your local requirements, use the setup tool to change
the configurations to your needs. The setup tool PSetup can be found on the CD ROM
delivered with this package. You can follow the procedures described below.
3. DHCP
If you have installed the IP-KVM switch on a network that enables DHCP, you can use the
PSetup to find out the IP-KVM switch's IP.
(1) Plug Ethernet cable to IP-KVM switch. IP-KVM will get an IP via DHCP.
(2) Using PSetup (run PSetup.exe) to look for IP-KVM.
a. Select MAC address which label on bottom of IP-KVM switch
b. Click Query Device
Notes:
BOOTP, a static configuration protocol, uses a table that maps IP
addresses to physical addresses.
DHCP, an extension to BOOTP that dynamically assigns configuration
information. DHCP is backward compatible with BOOTP.
