Important Notice

DVI KVM over IP

Operating Notes

• The DVI KVM over IP is compatible with the HD KVM over IP and the VGA KVM over IP, which allows these products to be connected within a single system. Note that HDCP content cannot be used when using these products in tandem.

• CAT-5 or CAT-6 cables should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters) between the

Sender / Receiver unit and the network.

• By default, all Sender and Receiver units are set to channel 0.

• This product does not support HDCP or dual link resolutions.

• By default, the source device will use the EDID from the display (or other sink device) which is connected the Receiver unit. See EDID Management for more information.

• If terminating network cables in the eld, please adhere to the TIA/EIA568B

specication. See the Network Cable Diagram for details.

The following table (continued on next page) details the IP and IP port use of the DVI KVM over IP. Each “X” in the table, below, represents that no specied IP port is required.

IMPORTANT: The use of a Gigabit switch with 8K “jumbo frame” capability is required when connecting the DVI KVM over IP to a

network.
