Table 4-1. Initial network configuration
Warning
If the DHCP connection fails on boot up, the KVM-9000 will not have an IP address.
If this initial configuration does not meet your requirements, the following describes the initial IP
configuration that is necessary to access the KVM-9000 for the first time.
4.1.1 Initial configuration via DHCP server
By default, the KVM-9000 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 KVM-9000. 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.

connection (USB or network), the device detection is different. A window opens as seen below:
