3.2 Configuration via Setup Utility

By default, the IKVM-8000 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-8000 to your local network,

please make sure the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server is com-

pleted. It is recommended to reserve a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of

the IKVM-8000. 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-8000 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-8000 directly. The USB connectivity only supported in windows 2000/XP

and server 2003 and the response time of USB connection would be longer than

LAN connection.
