Operating the DVI KVM over IP
In order to solve the problem, in Figure 2.4, we would need to make sure that each of
the Sender units is set to a unique channel number.
When using unicast mode, each of the Sender units must be assigned a unique
channel and should never be changed. Use the Receiver unit to switch (channels)
between Sender units.
The DVI KVM over IP can be used with up to 256 Sender units to provide switching
capability between each Receiver unit. Up to 256 Receiver units are supported.
Each Receiver unit can be set to receive video data from any one of 256 Sender units.
NOTE: In unicast mode, if an additional Sender unit is introduced
into a system with the same channel as another Sender unit, then
the Receiver unit will continue to receive A/V data from the Sender
unit which was connected rst.
