42 IP-REACH USER MANUAL
• Enable IP Failover (TR Series only): This setting, which appears only for TR Series models, enables
the secondary Ethernet port to be active for failover utilization.
- When enabled, IP-Reach will verify the availability of its primary Ethernet port at a constant
interval indicated by the Ping Interval in seconds setting.
- At each regular ping verification, should the primary Ethernet port be deemed unavailable for
an interval longer than that designated by the Failover Timeout in seconds, IP-Reach
automatically disables its primary Ethernet Port and enables its secondary Ethernet Port.
Path Configuration
On the Main Menu, select Configuration → Path Configuration to name each KVM Input port and to
instruct IP-Reach models of multiple ports to intelligently redirect new sessions based on your
configuration. For instance, if all KVM Input ports on a multi-port IP-Reach model are connected to the
same multi-user KVM switch, IP-Reach can automatically redirect incoming sessions to any of its
unoccupied KVM ports because ultimately they all connect to the same KVM switch.
Consult the following diagrams to determine the appropriate Path Configuration value for your setup.
One Path to All Ports:
Used when ALL IP-Reach KVM Ports are connected to one KVM switch configuration. There is one main
path to one KVM configuration and up to four users can connect to the KVM configuration. IP-Reach will
automatically assign the next open channel on the path to each user.
