1.2.2 To Use DHCP or BOOTP

1. Run KVMIPsetup.exe. The screen below will display.
2. Under Network Configuration, select DHCP or BOOTP for IP auto configuration
3. Enter Super user login and password for Authentication (default : super/pass)
4. Click Setup Device. If super login was authenticated, it will show Successfully configured

device; otherwise it will show Permission Denied.



When DHCP mode is enabled (IP auto configuration = DHCP), the IP console will try to contact
a DHCP server in the subnet to which it is physically connected. If a DHCP server is found, it
may provide a valid IP address, gateway address and net mask. Before you connect the device
to your local subnet, be sure to complete the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server.
It is recommended to configure a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of the IP KVM
Switch. You can find the MAC address labeled on the bottom side of the metal housing.


If you have installed the IP console on a network that enables DHCP, you can use the
KVMIPsetup.exe to locate the IP console’s IP address.

1. Plug the Ethernet cable into the IP KVM Switch. The IP console will get an IP address via

DHCP.

2. Run KVMIPsetup.exe. The screen shown above will display. Under Device, select the MAC

address which is printed on the label on the bottom of the IP KVM Switch from the Device
MAC address
list and click Query Device
