Conguring Unicast Mode
The term unicast is used to describe a conguration where information is sent from one
point to another point. It is possible to have multiple Sender and Receiver units connected
in a system. However, in unicast mode a Sender unit can communicate with only one
Receiver unit at a time. In unicast mode, the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output
functions similiar to a DVI KVM switcher.
The illustration, below, shows 3 Sender units (S1, S2, and S3) and 2 Receiver units
(R1 and R2) on a network, operating in unicast mode. The video channels are notated
in blue.
Figure 2.1 - Unicast mode: A Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver unit at
a time.
1. Access the Web interface for each Sender and Receiver unit that will be using unicast
mode. In this example, we will start with Receiver unit R1.
2. Click the Network tab.
NOTE: The DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output Sender and
Receiver units shipped from the factory in unicast mode.
