Page 35: Configuring Multicast Mode
Operating the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output Unicast and Multicast Modes Configuring Multicast Mode The term multicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from one or more points to a set of other points. For example, a single Sender unit can transmit data to multiple Receiver units. - Page 36 Operating the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output Unicast and Multicast Modes Click the Multicast button under the Network Mode group. When selected, the Multicast button will be highlighted in blue. Click the Save button in the lower-right corner of the Network Mode group.

Page 37: Using Rs-232
RS-232 data must be set to the same baud rate as the RS-232 host and client. In the example below, the Gefen 4x1 HD Switcher w/ Audio Decoding (Gefen part no. GTV-AUDDEC-N) has been connected to Receiver unit A. This is the RS-232 client. - Page 38 Operating the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output Using RS-232 Access the Web interface for the Sender unit. Click the Functions tab. Locate the Serial over IP group and change the RS-232 settings to match the settings of the RS-232 device that is being used.

Page 42: Usb Under Multicast Mode
Operating the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output USB Control USB under Multicast Mode When connecting USB devices to the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output, the functionality is similar to that of video and RS-232. There are two USB modes available in multicast mode: Active per request mode and Active on link mode. - Page 43 Operating the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output USB Control In multicast mode, the Operation Mode for both Sender and Receiver units are automatically set to Active per request mode. Under Active per request mode, multiple USB devices may be present on one or more Receiver units.
- Page 44 Operating the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output USB Control Assigning USB control under Active per request mode Now, let’s look at an example of switching USB control between two Receiver units. Using the diagram on the previous page, we want Receiver unit R1 to have USB control. To assign USB control to another Receiver unit, use the following steps: Press and hold the -/Select button on the desired Receiver unit, for at least two seconds.
- Page 45 Operating the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output USB Control Active on link mode Under Active on link mode, a maximum of four USB devices can be used within a system.
