3.2.2 Connecting Ethernet
The rear side of PS/2 KVM over IP switch provides a RJ-45 connector for Ethernet. The
connector is used either for a 100 Mbps 100BASE-TX connection or for a 10 Mbps 10BASE-T
connection. The adapter can sense the connection speed and will adjust to the appropriate
operation mode automatically.
3.2.2.1 10 Mbps Connection
For 10BASE-T Ethernet networks, the Ethernet adapter uses Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP
cable. To establish a 10 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a
10BASE-T hub.
Make sure that the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 10BASE-T adapter.
Align the RJ-45 plug with the notch on the adapter’s connector and insert it into the
adapter’s connector.
3.2.2.2. 100 Mbps Connection
For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, PS/2 KVM over IP switch supports
Category 5 UTP cabling. To establish a 100 Mbps connection, the cable must be
connected to a 100BASE-TX hub.
Make sure that the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 100BASE-TX
adapter.
Align the RJ-45 plug with the notch on the adapter’s connector and insert it into the
adapter’s connector.

Table 4.1: Initial IP configuration
In case this initial configuration doesn’t meet your requirements there is an initial IP configuration
necessary in order to access PS/2 KVM over IP switch for the first time. This chapter describes
different possibilities to accomplish that.
4.1.1 Initial configuration via DHCP server
By default, PS/2 KVM over IP switch will try to contact a DHCP server in the subnet to which it
is physically connected. If a DHCP server is found it may provide a valid IP address, gateway
address and net mask. Before you connect the device to your local subnet be sure to
complete the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server. It is recommended to
configure a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of PS/2 KVM over IP switch. You can find
the MAC address on the outside of the shipping box and labeled on the bottom side. If the
