You can install the LongView IP KVM extender by using either the point-to-point method or
through a network.
Point-to-point installation
The following instructions will enable you to install your LongView IP KVM extender in a point-
to-point configuration. In a point-to-point configuration, no administrator set up of the transmitter
or the receiver is required. However, if you choose the point-to-point configuration you can install
only one transmitter and receiver pair on a subnet.
