4.2 Configuration via Setup Utility
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 IKVM-8010 /16010. You can find the MAC address labeled on the bottom side of the metal housing.
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.
1. Connect the IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 to the same network as your administrative PC, or you can use an
USB cable (type A to type B) to connect administrative PC and IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 directly. The
USB connectivity only supported in windows 2000/XP/Win7 and server 2003 and the response time of
USB connection would be longer than LAN connection.
2. Insert the bundled CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive to initiate the auto run program. Click on “Setup Utility”
hyperlink in the menu screen to execute the program.
If the menu screen is not shown, you can click “Start” button and choose “Run…”. When the dialog box
appears, enter “E:\utility\psetup.exe” (suppose “E” is your CD-ROM drive) and click “OK”.
3. Once the utility is executed, it will search for available IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 automatically.
