Initial Conﬁguration

By default, the IKVM-8000 will obtain its IP address from a DHCP server in the network. If

a DHCP server is found, it may provide a valid IP address, gateway address and net mask.

Before you connect IKVM-8000 to your local network, please make sure the corresponding

conﬁguration of your DHCP server is completed. It is recommended to reserve a ﬁxed IP

assignment to the MAC address of the IKVM-8000. You can ﬁnd the MAC address labeled

on the bottom side of the metal housing.

If this initial conﬁguration does not meet your local requirements, use the setup tool to

adjust the values to your needs. The setup tool can be found on the CD-ROM delivered

with this package. You can follow the procedure described below.

1. Connect the IKVM-8000 to the same network as your administrative PC, or

you can use an USB cable (type A to type B) to connect administrative PC and

IKVM-8000 directly. The USB connectivity only supported in windows 2000/XP/

server 2003 and the response time of USB connection would be longer than

LAN connection.
