2.3 Initial Configuration
By default, the IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 will obtain its IP address from a DHCP
server in the network. If a DHCP server is found, it may provide a valid IP address,
gateway address and net mask.
Before you connect IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 to your local network, please
make sure the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server is completed.
It is recommended to reserve a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of the
