Switching between Sender units in Unicast mode
When multiple Sender and Receiver unit are used in unicast mode, the DVI KVM over IP
behaves as a switcher. In unicast mode, a Sender unit can communicate with only one
Receiver unit at a time.
In the example below, we will switch Receiver unit R1 to receive the DVI source on Sender
unit S1.
Figure 2.2 - Unicast mode: Receiver unit R1 is connected to Sender unit S2.
1. Access the Web interface for Receiver unit R1.
2. Click the Network tab and change the video channel. Refer to Setting the Video
Channel if necessary.
3. Click the Save button.
4. The following message will be displayed, at the top of the page, indicating that the
casting mode has been applied to the Sender or Receiver unit.
5. Receiver unit R1 is now receiving the DVI source on Sender unit S1, as shown on the
next page.
