RCM KVM over IP Transmitter User Manual
Network Configuration
This section provides instructions to configure the network settings with a
fixed IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. To use the IP Installer to
configure the IP address, see IP Installer, page 263.
Note: 1. Both devices are preconfigured with factory-default network settings.
If you install only one set of RCM/KE series units, you do not need
to change these default network settings. See Default IP Addresses,
page 47, for further details.
2. In a network setup with multiple units, each transmitter and receiver
must be configured with a unique IP address. See Network
Configuration, page 46, for further details.
3. We recommend using 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire
speeds, non-blocking with 1 Gbps / 1.5 Mpps performance per port)
between devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/100 Mbps
switches might cause poor performance.
4. In multipoint configurations, the IGMP and flow control function of
your network switches/hubs must be enabled to avoid the
deterioration of data throughput. To ensure functionality, use a layer-
3 switch that supports IGMP queries.
5. If your network uses cascaded switches, please check to ensure the
data throughput is sufficient.
6. To get the best performance, we suggest that you create a private
network for the RCM/KE devices, as they are bandwidth-intensive
devices.
To configure the network settings, do the following:
1. Setup the hardware and connect the transmitter and receiver to the local
area network (see RCMDVI00AT / RCMDVI40AT LAN Installation,
page 35 and see RCMDVI00BT / RCMDVI40BT / RCMDVI50T LAN
Installation, page 42).
2. From the KE receiver, press the [Scroll Lock] key twice to invoke the
OSD.
3. Select the receiver or transmitter from the sidebar menu.
4. Enter the password and click Configure.
The default password is: password.
