page | 16 Setting the IP Mode The DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output can be set to Auto IP , DHCP , or Static IP mode. By default, the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output is shipped in Auto IP mode. 1. Access the Web interface by entering the IP address of the desired Sender or Receiver unit. Refer to Displaying the IP Address and Video Channe[...]

page | 17 Basic Operation Setting the Video Channel In order a Sender and Receiver unit to communicate with one another , they must both be set to the same channel. This is similar to changing the channel on a cable or satellite box in order to view a different program. By default, all Sender and Receiver units are set to channel 0. The channel can[...]

page | 18 Using the Web Interface 1. Access the Web interface by entering the IP address of the desired Sender or Receiver unit. Refer to ( Displaying the IP Address and Video Channel ) if necessary . 2. Click the Network tab. The current channel is displayed within the Network Mode window group. 3. Click the Channel Selection drop-down list and se[...]

page | 19 Enabling or Disabling Video over IP This feature is useful for masking video. Disabling the video on the Sender unit will mask the video on all connected Receiver units ( multicast mode only). T o mask the video on selected Receiver units, disable the video on the desired Receiver units. 1. Access the Web interface by entering the IP addr[...]

page | 20 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 [...]

page | 21 3. Click the Unicast button under the Network Mode group. When selected, the Unicast button will be highlighted in blue. 4. Click the Save button in the lower-right corner of the Network Mode group. 5. The following message will be displayed, at the top of the page, indicating that the casting mode has been applied to the Sender or Receiv[...]

page | 22 Switching between Sender units in Unicast mode When multiple Sender and Receiver units are used in unicast mode, the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output behaves as a switcher . In unicast mode, a Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver unit at a time. In the example below , we will switch Receiver unit R1 to receive the DVI s[...]

page | 23 Figure 2.3 - Unicast mode: Receiver unit R1 is now connected to Sender unit S1. Note that each of the Sender units in Figure 2.3 is assigned a unique channel number . However , if we were to change the video channel on Sender unit S1 to channel 1, this would have violated the unicast mode rule: A Sender unit can communicate with only one [...]

page | 24 In order to solve the problem, in Figure 2.4, we would need to make sure that each of the Sender units is set to a unique channel number . When using unicast mode, each of the Sender units must be assigned a unique channel and should never be changed. Use the Receiver unit to switch (channels) between Sender units. The DVI KVM over IP wit[...]

page | 25 Conguring Multicast Mode The term multicast is used to describe a conguration where information is sent from one or more points to a set of other points. For example, a single Sender unit can transmit data to multiple Receiver units. In addition, if multiple Sender units are used, each Sender unit can transmit data to any Receiver t[...]

page | 26 3. Click the Multicast button under the Network Mode group. When selected, the Multicast button will be highlighted in blue. 4. Click the Save button in the lower-right corner of the Network Mode group. The following message will be displayed, at the top of the page, indicating that the casting mode has been applied to the Receiver unit. [...]

page | 27 The DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output supports RS-232 pass-through, allowing the control of remote RS-232 devices. The Sender and Receiver unit which are being used to pass-through the RS-232 data must be set to the same baud rate as the RS-232 host and client. In the example below , the Gefen 4x1 HD Switcher w/ Audio Decoding (Gefen [...]

page | 28 1. Access the Web interface for the Sender unit. 2. Click the Functions tab. 3. Locate the Serial over IP group and change the RS-232 settings to match the settings of the RS-232 device that is being used. In this case, we need to use the settings from T able 2.1 4. Make sure that the Enable Serial over IP box is checked. 5. Click the Sav[...]

page | 29 RS-232 under Unicast Mode In unicast mode , a Sender unit will be able to communicate with only one Receiver unit at a time. Figure 2.7 - In unicast mode, the host can talk to only one RS-232 device at a time. RS-232 under Multicast Mode In multicast mode, a Sender unit can communicate with multiple Receiver units simultaneously . Figure [...]

page | 30 USB under Unicast Mode When connecting USB devices to the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output, the functionality is similar to that of video and RS-232. As an example, we will start with our original diagram and connect a computer to Sender unit S2 and a keyboard and mouse device to Receiver unit R2. This will allow us to control the co[...]

page | 31 4. Locate the USB over IP group and make sure the Enable USB over IP box is checked. This is the default setting. 5. In unicast mode, the Operation Mode is automatically set to Active on link and cannot be changed. 6. Make sure that the USB Mouse Mode is set to High Resolution . This is the default setting. Use Compatibility mode only if [...]

page | 32 USB under Multicast Mode When connecting USB devices to the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output, the functionality is similar to that of video and RS-232. There are two USB modes available in multicast mode: Active per request mode and Active on link mode. For an example, we’ll begin with the last diagram and connect another keyboard [...]

page | 33 In multicast mode, the Operation Mode for both Sender and Receiver units are automatically set to Active per request mode. Under Active per request mode, multiple USB devices may be present on one or more Receiver units. However , only one Receiver unit can have USB control at a time. B y default, the rst Receiver unit connected to the[...]

page | 34 Assigning USB control under Active per request mode Now , let’s look at an example of switching USB control between two Receiver units. Using the diagram on the previous page, we want Receiver unit R1 to have USB control. T o assign USB control to another Receiver unit, use the following steps: 1. Press and hold the -/Select button on t[...]

page | 35 Active on link mode Under Active on link mode, a maximum of four USB devices can be used within a system. In the diagram, on the previous page, the system is already using the maximum number of USB devices (2 USB devices per Receiver). If we had two more Receiver units (making a total of four Receiver units), we could have connected a sin[...]

page | 36 The DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output features EDID Management. Before the source can send video (and/or audio) data, the source device (connected to each Sender unit) reads the EDID (Extended Display Identication Data) from the displays which are connected to each Receiver unit. The EDID contains information about what type of aud[...]

page | 37 Using the Downstream EDID By default, the (downstream) EDID from the display , connected to the Receiver unit, is used. If the internal EDID is being used (see Using the Internal DVI EDID ), then use the following procedure to revert to the downstream EDID. 1. Access the Web interface for the Receiver unit. 2. Click the Functions tab. 3. [...]

page | 38 Audio works in both unicast and multicast modes. T o illustrate how audio works with the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output, we will set up an audio source (computer) and some powered speakers. Connect a 3.5mm-to-3.5mm mini-stereo cable from the Line Out jack on the computer ’s audio card to the Line In jack on the Sender unit. Note [...]

page | 39 In the diagram below , the mouse and keyboard USB devices have been removed from Sender unit S2 and Receiver unit R2, for purposes of clarity . Arrowheads indicate the audio signal path.
