1. Product Overview
The NetCommander IP back panel is illustrated in the figure below. Note: The figure below shows the back panel for a B072-032-IP2 and
B072-032-IP4, but the back panel will be functionally the same for all models, with the only difference being the number of server ports.
Element Functionality

Power Outlets
The KVM features dual-power supplies, so that if power to one fails, the other takes over. The power cords
included with the KVM connect to the unit here.

Pressing this button for 10 seconds restores the system to its factory default settings.

default LAN port again. Note: Only one LAN port can be turned on at a time; they cannot both be turned
on. If you don’t wish to use network redundancy, connect a single network cable to LAN 2 Port.
