5. System Configuration
5.2.2.1 IP Installer
The IP Installer is an external Windows-based utility for assigning IP addresses to the KVM over IP switch.
Click one of the radio buttons to select Enable, View Only, or Disabled for the IP Installer utility.
Notes:
1. If you select View Only, you will be able to see the KVM over IP switch in the IP Installer's Device List, but you will not be able to change
the IP address.
2. For security, we strongly recommend that you set this to View Only or Disable after each use.
5.2.2.2 IPv4 Settings
IP Address:
IPv4 is the traditional method of specifying IP addresses. The KVM over IP Console Station can either have its IP address
assigned dynamically (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.
• For dynamic IP address assignment, select Obtain IP address automatically (default).
• To specify a fixed IP address, select Set IP address manually and fill in the fields with values appropriate for your network.
Notes:
1. If you choose Obtain IP address automatically, when the console station starts up, it waits to get its IP address from the DHCP server. If it
has not obtained the address after one minute, it automatically reverts to its factory default IP address (192.168.0.60.)
2. If the switch is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, see Supported KVM
Switches for information.
DNS Server
• For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select Obtain DNS Server address automatically.
• To specify the DNS Server address manually, select Set DNS server address manually, and fill in the addresses for the
Preferred and Alternate DNS servers with values appropriate for your network.
Note: Specifying the Alternate DNS Server address is optional.
5.2.2.3 IPv6 Settings
The KVM over IP console station supports three IPv6 address protocols: Link Local IPv6 Address, IPv6 Stateless
Autoconfiguration and Stateful Autoconfiguration (DHCPv6).
IP Address:
IPv6 is the 128-bit format for specifying IP addresses. The KVM over IP Console Station can either have its IPv6 address
assigned dynamically (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.
• For dynamic IP address assignment, select Obtain IP address automatically (default).
• To specify a fixed IP address, select Set IP address manually and fill in the fields with values appropriate for your network.
DNS Server
• For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select Obtain DNS Server address automatically.
• To specify the DNS Server address manually, select Set DNS server address manually, and fill in the addresses for the
Preferred and Alternate DNS servers with values appropriate for your network.
Note: Specifying the Alternate DNS Server address is optional.
5.2.2.4 Finishing Up
