Connecting power
To connect the receiver:
1. Connect your keyboard, monitor, mouse and other peripheral cables to the appropriately
labeled ports on the back of the receiver.
2. Connect the UTP cable from the transmitter to the RJ-45 port on the back of the receiver.
NOTE: Use only the power supply provided by Avocent.
3. Connect one end of the 2.5 mm connector on the receiver’s power supply into the DC power
jack on the receiver. Connect the other end to an appropriate power source.
4. Turn on the receiver. A connection will be established with the remote workstation.
NOTE: VGA monitors can be connected to the receiver by using a DVI-I to VGA adaptor.
Networked installation
The following instructions will enable you to install your LongView IP KVM extender in a
networked configuration. In this installation, multiple transmitters and receivers are attached via
the same Ethernet network. In this case, it is important for each unit to be configured with a unique
IP address.
Transmitters and receivers may be configured for use on a single subnet or for use across routers.
Use of routers, however, will cause a slight increase in end-to-end latencies, which may not be
acceptable for all applications.
