USB under Multicast Mode
When connecting USB devices to the DVI KVM over IP, the functionality is similar to that
of video and RS-232. There are two USB modes available in multicast mode: Active per
request mode and Active on link mode.
For an example, we’ll begin with the last diagram and connect another keyboard and
mouse device to Receiver R1. This will allow us to control the computer from two separate
locations.

Conguring Multicast Mode if necessary.

4. Locate the USB over IP group and make sure the Enable USB over IP box is
checked. This is the default setting.
