Table 1-1: Initial configuration
If this initial configuration doesn’t meet your local requirements, you need to do the initial IP
configuration. Use one of the following ways:
1. Connect the enclosed NULL modem cable to the serial interface on the rear side. The serial
interface needs to be adjusted with the parameters shown in table 1-2:
Parameter Value
Bits/second 115200
Data bits 8
Parity No

Flow Control None
Table 1-2: Serial parameters
Use a terminal software (e.g. hyper term or minicom) to connect to IP-KVM switch. Reset IP-KVM
switch and immediately press < ESC >. You will see some device information and a ’=>’ prompt.
Enter the command ’config’ and press < Enter >. After waiting a few moments you may configure IP
auto configuration, IP address, net mask and default gateway. Pressing < Enter > without entering
values does not change settings. The gateway value must be set to 0.0.0.0 (for no gateway) or any
other value. You will be asked if the values are correct and get a chance to correct them. After
confirming, IP-KVM switch performs a reset.
2. Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect IP-KVM switch to a subnet where a DHCP server is
available. After the DHCP server has assigned an IP address to IP-KVM switch you can use the web
interface to configure the device.
Web interface
IP-KVM switch may be accessed using a standard web browser. You may use the HTTP protocol or a
secure encrypted connection via HTTPS. Just enter the configured IP address of IP-KVM switch into
your web browser. Initially there is only one user configured who has unrestricted access to all IP-KVM
switch features:
Login name
super (factory default)
Password
pass (factory default)
Please login and change the password immediately according to your own policies.
The Remote Console
The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system to
which IP-KVM switch is attached. The web browser which is used for accessing IP-KVM switch has to
supply a Java Runtime Environment version 1.1 or higher. The Remote Console will behave exactly
the same way as if you were sitting directly in front of the screen of your remote system. That means
