IP Installer Settings
An IP InstallerutilityisprovidedontheCDthatcomeswiththeKVMswitch,whichgivesyouasimplewaytoascertainandconfiguretheKVM’s
IP address. When invoked, the IP Installer scans the network for devices and displays the ones it finds. The settings found in this page limit what
the IP Installer is allowed to do. These settings are described in the table:
Setting Description
Enabled When this setting is checked, the IP Installer can be used to both view and configure the IP address information of the KVM switch.
View Only When this setting is checked, the IP Installer can be used to view the IP address information of the KVM switch, but can not be used to
configure the IP address.
Disabled When this setting is check, the IP Installer is not permitted to view or configure the IP address information of the KVM switch.
Note: After making any network changes, make sure that the Reset on exit checkbox in the Customization page is checked before logging out of the
KVM switch. This resets the KVM switch upon logout, allowing network changes to take effect without having to power the unit ON and OFF.
The Security page controls IP access by filtering the range of IP
addressesand/orMACaddressesthatcanaccesstheKVMswitch.IP

address at a time. If you are adding a new filter, simply fill in the
address fields and click OK. If you are editing an existing filter,
replace the old address with the correct address and click OK.

KVM.
