4.1 Initial Configuration

The KVM-0850/1650's communication interfaces are all based on TCP/IP. It comes
pre-configured with the IP configuration listed in Table 4-1.
If you select DHCP mode, and the DHCP connection fails on boot up, there will be no
IP address assigned for KVM-0850/1650.
If this initial configuration does not meet your requirements, the following describes the initial IP
configuration that is necessary to access the KVM-0850/1650 for the first time.

4.1.1 Initial configuration via DHCP server

By default, the KVM-0850/1650 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-0850/1650. You can find the MAC address labeled
on the bottom side.
If this initial configuration does not meet your local requirements, use the setup tool to adjust the
values to your needs. The setup tool can be found on the CD ROM delivered with this package.
You can follow the procedure described below.
