Chapter 2: Installation 19
Transmitters and user stations may be configured for use on a single subnet or for use across
routers. Use of routers, however, will cause a slight increase in end-to-end latencies, which may not
be acceptable for all applications.
The LongView IP KVM extender system has been preconfigured with factory-default network
settings. If you install only one LongView IP KVM extender system on a subnet, you do not need
to change these default network settings. If you install multiple extender systems on the same
subnet, you will need to assign a unique IP address to each extender system or configure them for
DHCP. This can be done via the serial port and the IP address must be assigned before displaying
multiple devices on the same network. See
Accessing the serial menu on page 25 for more
information.
NOTE: The DHCP server must be configured to assign IP addresses to the unit that do not expire. Do not
change the mode to DHCP unless the equipment is connected to a DHCP server.
To install the LongView IP KVM extender system on a network:
1. With the transmitter already connected to the target computer, connect it to the LAN via the
unit’s RJ-45 connector.
2. Connect the user station to the peripherals. Use the UTP cable to connect the user station to the
Ethernet network via the RJ-45 connector on the rear of the user station.
3. Turn on the user station. A connection will be automatically established with the target
computer.
4. Use the serial menu to reconfigure the network settings for the transmitter and then the user
station.
NOTE: If the user station and transmitter are to be located on different subnets, configure their network settings
before you connect to the network.
NOTE: If there are already transmitter and user station pairs operating on the subnet, configure network settings
of new transmitter and user station pairs before connecting them to the network.
5. Repeat this procedure for each transmitter and user station pair you wish to install on the
network.
