Operating Notes
• Always make sure that the 4K Ultra HD HDMI & VGA KVM over IP is running the
latest rmware.
• Gefen highly recommends the use of the Syner-G software and Matrix Controller
(Gefen part no. EXT-CU-LAN) for setting up and controlling the operation of a
Video-over-IP network using these products.
• Shielded CAT-5e (or better) 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.
• The HDMI inputs and outputs on this product also support Single-Link DVI and its
standard VESA resolutions. Dual-Link DVI is not supported.
• Only the HDMI Input and Output will pass content from HDCP sources such as Blu-ray
players and PlayStation® console systems. VGA does not support HDCP content. If
HDCP encrypted content is being passed, the VGA output will not be active.
• By default, the source device will use the EDID from the display (or other sink device)
which is connected the Receiver unit.
• If terminating network cables in the eld, please adhere to the TIA/EIA568B
specication. See the Network Cable Diagram (page 172) for details.
• Supported USB Devices
► HID-class devices: keyboard, mouse, joystick, and touch panels.
► Bulk-only storage devices: USB ash drive, most storage devices, DVD-ROM,
card readers, and printers.
Important
• When connecting through a Local Area Network, a managed gigabit
switch is required. Jumbo Frame Support (8k or greater) and IGMP
Snooping must be enabled.
• A dedicated LAN is not required but highly recommended.
• When using HDCP-encrypted content, only the HDMI inputs and outputs
can accept and display the content.
• We recommend that Sender and Receiver are rst connected directly
and functionality/performance is fully veried before integrating them into
a Local Area Network.

The 4K Ultra HD HDMI & VGA KVM over IP Sender and Receiver units can be connected
over a Local Area Network (LAN) or they can be directly connected to one another. Both
installations will be covered.
Local Area Network (LAN) Connection
In order to connect the 4K Ultra HD HDMI & VGA KVM over IP to a Local Area Network
(LAN), both the Sender and Receiver unit must rst be set to DHCP mode or Static IP
mode. DHCP mode will use the DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address for
each Sender and Receiver unit that is connected to the network. Static IP mode will allow
the IP address for each Sender and Receiver unit to be congured manually. Contact your
network administrator if necessary.
1. Connect an HDMI cable from the UHD/HD source to the HDMI In port on the Sender
unit.
2. Connect a VGA cable from the VGA In port on the Sender unit to the VGA source.
3. Connect a VGA cable from the VGA OUT port on the Sender unit to a local monitor.
4. Connect an HDMI cable from the UHD/HD display to the HDMI Out port on the
Receiver unit.
5. Connect a VGA cable from the VGA Out port on the Receiver unit to a display.
6. Connect a CAT-5e (or better) cable between the LAN (PoE) port on the Sender unit
and a Gigabit IP switch.
7. Connect LAN 3 (PoE) on the Receiver unit to the same network switch. Each cable
run can be up to 330 feet (100 meters).
8. If NOT USING A PoE-compliant switch, then connect the included 5V DC power
supplies to the Sender and Receiver unit.
Getting Started
Installation & Conguration
Important
If the IP switch is PoE-compliant and the Sender and Receiver are connected
through their PoE ports, external power supplies will not be required.
Additional Receivers or other devices connected to LAN 1 and LAN 2 ports of
a Receiver will however need to be powered locally.

18. Click the desired IP Mode button.
• If Static mode is selected, then enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway. Contact your system administrator if necessary.
• If DHCP mode is selected, then the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway will
be specied by the DHCP server.
19. Click the Apply button to save the changes. This operation will require a reboot.
20. Click the Reboot button near the bottom of the page.
21. Repeat steps 12 - 21 for each Sender and Receiver to be congured.
22. After the desired IP settings have been applied, set the video channel for each Sender
unit. See Setting the Video Channel (page 19) for more information.
Important
The use of a Gigabit switch with “jumbo frame” capability is required when
connecting the 4K Ultra HD HDMI & VGA KVM over IP to a network. The
switch should be set to greater than 8K.
page | 12
Using a Direct Connection
By default, the 4K Ultra HD HDMI & VGA KVM over IP is shipped in Auto IP mode. Auto IP
mode is used for directly connecting Sender and Receiver units to one another. In Auto IP
mode each Sender and Receiver unit assigns itself a unique IP address within the range of
169.254.x.x. To congure the units to work over a LAN, we must access the
Web interface of the Sender and Receiver unit on a computer. Then, we can change
the network settings.
1. Connect an HDMI cable to connect the UHD/HD source to the HDMI In port on the
Sender unit.
2. Connect an HDMI cable from the UHD/HD display to the HDMI Out port on the Receiver unit.
3. Connect a shielded CAT-5e (or better) cable from the LAN (PoE) port on the Sender
unit to the LAN 3 (PoE) port on the Receiver unit. While any of the three ports on the
Receiver can be used, we recommend using LAN 3 (PoE) for the sake of consistency.
4. Connect another shielded CAT-5e (or better) cable from one of the LAN ports on the
Receiver unit to a PC.
5. Connect the included 5V DC locking power supplies to both the Sender unit and
Receiver unit. Do not overtighten the locking connectors. Connect the included AC
power cords from the power supplies to available electrical outlets.
6. Obtain the IP address of both the Sender and Receiver unit by disconnecting the
HDMI cable from the Sender unit (or from the source device). Information, similar to
the illustration on the next page, will be displayed.
