Setting up networked mode (LAN or
Internet / WAN with Site-to-Site VPN)
Your Matrox Extio 3 product is an IP KVM extender. In networked mode, the Extio 3 transmitter and
receiver devices operate over an IP network. In Networked-LAN mode, Extio 3 devices operate over
a copper-based or fiber-based Gigabit Ethernet network. In Networked-Internet / WAN with Site-to-
Site VPN mode, the Extio 3 devices operate over the internet or a wide-are-network (WAN) where
there is a site-to-site virtual private network (VPN) connection. The set up for these two modes is
similar with slight variations.
Before you begin
If you operate on Networked-Internet / WAN with Site-to-Site VPN, make sure you have
the required bandwidth. For Networked-Internet / WAN with Site-to-Site VPN to be
supported, you should have Quality of Service (QoS) and a Virtual Private Network
(VPN) tunnel. For additional details, contact Matrox.
Whenever you change your connection setup, make sure you're using the correct
connectors and that all connectors are properly fastened. Also, don't change connections
while your Extio transmitter and receiver are turned on. For more information,
"Connecting your Extio 3 devices", page
Make sure your Extio Central Manager software is installed on a separate system on your
network, and you've set the allowed connections between your Extio transmitter and
receiver devices. For more information, see your Matrox Extio Central Manager User
Guide.
Make sure all of your Extio 3 transmitter and receiver devices are using the latest version
of the Matrox Extio 3 firmware package. For more information,
Matrox Extio 3 firmware (Networked-LAN mode)", page
Make sure all your Extio 3 devices are using the same version of the firmware package.
Also, the version of your firmware package must match the version of your Extio Central
Manager software package.
