Detecting a transmitter IP address
In the event that you forget the IP address of a transmitter, you can use the serial menu to detect the
IP address of a transmitter that is connected to the LongView IP KVM user station.
NOTE: This can only be done if the transmitter has been assigned a static IP address.
To detect the IP address of a connected transmitter:
1. Turn off the transmitter and directly connect it to the user station.
NOTE: If the transmitter receives its power from an external power supply, disconnect the transmitter from that
external power supply.
2. Press 1 to access the Receiver Main Menu and press Enter. If the password option is enabled,
you will be prompted for a password.
