4. Configuration
4.1 Initial Configuration
If DHCP mode is enabled (IP auto configuration = DHCP), the KVM IP Console
Module 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 KVM IP Console Module.
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:
KVM IP Console Module 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 IPSetup can be found on the
CD ROM delivered with this package. You can follow the procedures described below.

DHCP
If you have installed the KVM IP Console Module on a network that enables DHCP,
you can use the IPSetup to find out the KVM IP Console Module's IP.
(1) Plug Ethernet cable to KVM IP Console Module. KVM IP Console Module will
get an IP via DHCP.
(2) Using IPSetup (run IPSetup.exe) to look for KVM IP Console Module.
a. Select MAC address which label on bottom of KVM IP Console Module
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.
