the IP address of the unit to complete the configuration over your Web
browser. (If you are unsure of how to access your network’s DHCP log,
contact your System Administrator for details.) If the unit is powered
on and connected to the network via LAN port on the rear panel, it will
automatically attempt to lease an IP address using DHCP. Before you
can begin the configuration process, you will need to access the DHCP
log from your file server or other device that acts as the DHCP server
on the network. A simple DHCP log looks similar to the following:
The information displayed for your own network may vary significantly
from the data displayed in the image, but should supply (at minimum)
three essential details: IP address, MAC address, and device (or
machine) name for the computers and other devices connected to your
network. The values for the IP KVM switch tested above are as follows:
IP Address: 192.168.22.4
MAC Address: 00-0E-C5-00-08-1A
Device Name: (none)
The easiest way to identify your IP KVM switch on the network is
by its MAC address, a unique hardware identifier that is specific to
your unit. The MAC address of the unit can be found using the OSD
setup screen. Write down this number and keep it for future reference.
Once you locate the MAC address of your unit in the DHCP log,
you can match it to its leased IP address and proceed with the Web
configuration.
NOTE: Once you have located the IP address of the IP KVM switch
and wish to proceed with the Web configuration, do not power off the
unit or your DHCP server, since the Server Remote Control might
lease a different IP address. Should this happen, reexamine the DHCP
log to verify the IP address again.
