Connecting The System; Initial Settings (Default Ip Address) - Tripp Lite NetCommander B072-016-IP4 Owner's Manual

1. Product Overview

1.9 Connecting the System

The figure below illustrates the NetCommander IP system overview. Note: The figure below shows a B072-032-IP4 4-User installation.
Set up is the same for all models, with the only difference being the number of simultaneous users supported, and the number of ports.
1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting has been turned off.
2. Connect a VGA cable from the monitor to the HD15 (VGA) port on the back of the KVM.
3. Connect the keyboard's USB connector to the USB Keyboard port on the back of the KVM.
4. Connect the mouse's USB connector to the USB Mouse port on the back of the KVM.
5. Connect a Cat5e/6* cable from an available server port on the back of the KVM to a SIU (B078-101-PS2, B078-101-USB-1 or
B078-101-USB2) appropriate for the computer you are adding.
6. Connect the SIU's connectors to the corresponding ports on the computer/server.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each computer/server you are adding.
8. Connect a Cat5e/6 cable from your network to the LAN 1 port on the back of the KVM.
9. Connect a second Cat5e/6 cable from your network into the KVM's LAN 2 port.
10. Optional: Connect up to two serial devices to the RJ45 Serial Ports 1 and 2 on the back of the KVM switch (See the Configuring
Serial Port Settings section of this manual for details on configuration. See the Serial Port Pinout section in this manual for the pinout
information).
11. Using the power cords provided, connect the NetCommander IP to the C14 outlets on the back of the KVM, and plug them into a
Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, Power Distribution Unit (PDU), or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). There are no Power On/Off switches,
so plugging in the power cords will power on the KVM.
12. Turn on the power to all of the connected devices.
* To ensure proper functionality, shielded Cat5e/6 cable must be used with the B078-101-USB2, and is recommended for all other SIUs for best performance.

1.10 Initial Settings (Default IP Address)

By default, the NetCommander IP is set to have the network's DHCP server pull an IP address for it. Referencing the unit's Mac address,
which can be found on the bottom panel of the KVM, have your network administrator provide you with the IP address that was assigned by
the DHCP server. You can also obtain the IP address by logging into the KVM's OSD via the local console, and navigating to the F2 Settings
menu.
On networks that do not have a DHCP server, the KVM boots with the default static IPv4 address of 192.168.0.254.
Note: There is no default IPv6 address for the KVM switch. An IPv6 address can be automatically assigned via DHCP server, a Stateless
address can be assigned, or a static address can be manually entered.
To configure an IP address for the KVM, you can use the local console OSD or the Web Configuration Interface. Both methods are described
in the following sections.
