To connect the user station:
1. Connect your keyboard, monitor, mouse and other peripheral cables to the appropriately
labeled ports on the back of the user station.
2. Connect the UTP cable from the transmitter to the RJ-45 port on the back of the user station.
NOTE: Use only the power supply provided by Avocent.
3. Connect one end of the 2.5 mm connector on the user station’s power supply into the DC
power jack on the user station. Connect the other end to an appropriate power source.
4. Turn on the user station. A connection will be automatically established with the target
computer.
NOTE: VGA monitors can be connected to the user station by using a DVI-I to VGA adaptor (not applicable to
LongView IP VG extender system).
Connecting power
Both the user station and transmitter feature an external power supply. A DC power jack is located
on the rear of both.
NOTE: The LVIP-T and LVIPVG-T transmitters draw electrical power from two USB ports on the target computer.
One USB port is not sufficient to turn on these transmitters. If you have only one USB port on your target
computer, you will need to order an external power supply for these transmitters from Avocent.
NOTE: Use only the power supply provided by Avocent.
To connect power to the user station or transmitter:
1. Plug the external power supply’s 2.5 mm connector into the DC power jack.
2. Connect the detachable IEC power cord to the power supply.
3. Plug the IEC power cord into an appropriate wall outlet.
Networked installation
The following instructions will enable you to install your LongView IP KVM extender system in a
networked configuration. In this installation, multiple transmitters and user stations are attached via
the same Ethernet network. In this case, it is important for each unit to be configured with a unique
IP address.
NOTE: The user station and transmitter can obtain their IP address data from a DHCP server.
