router, or pre-wired wall jack). For more information on the WAN

port, please refer to the section Conﬁguring SV1115IPEXT for

important information.

Important: If you want to continue to use the host computer locally,8.

skip step 10 and go directly to “Connecting a Local Keyboard,

Mouse, and Monitor” after completing step 9. Otherwise, complete

steps 9 and 10 now and continue to Conﬁguring SV1115IPEXT.

outlet, plug the opposite end of the power cord into the AC/DC

adapter, and insert the power connector into either the DC-in or

DC-in-2 port on the rear panel of the unit. The LED underneath the

power connectors will be solid green when the unit is powered.

IMPORTANT: If you wish to add power redundancy to the unit, simply

connect the optional second AC/DC adapter to the unit following the

instructions in step 9 above. This provides a load-balancing feature

between the two power sources and allows the unit to function if one

adapter fails. *Please note: The additional power supply used with

SV1110IPEXT can NOT be used with SV1115IPEXT.

Power on the host computer.10.

Follow these instructions if the host computer uses a USB

keyboard and mouse:

IMPORTANT: Not all computers fully support USB mice and keyboards

and recognize them on startup. It is strongly recommended that you

test the USB devices you will use with the host computer before

conﬁguring the SV1115IPEXT. If the computer does not work properly

with USB devices, you can attempt to update the computer’s BIOS to

the most recent version to see if it adds USB input device functionality.

Consult your computer manufacturer for details.

Power on the host computer.11.

NOTE: If you are using cables other than those provided in the

SV1115IPEXT package or branded by StarTech.com, ensure that

the cables are of high quality and use the minimum possible distance

necessary. Low quality or excessively long (particularly video) cables

between the host computer and the SV1115IPEXT could degrade

performance.

NOTE: In the event that you do not have enough integrated USB ports

available on the managed computer to directly connect the keyboard,

mouse, and SV1115IPEXT, you may use a high-quality USB hub on

one of the computer’s USB ports to make all of the connections.

IMPORTANT: The SV1115IPEXT is convection-cooled. As such,

please ensure the vents on both sides are unobstructed.

Connecting a Local Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor

SV1115IPEXT has the capability to connect a local keyboard, mouse,

and monitor to the host computer for maintenance and monitoring,

allowing users to physically use the host computer as though

SV1115IPEXT were transparent. If needed, the unit can be run through

a typical KVM switch like any other computer. Using a KVM cable, you

can connect the Server Remote Control’s host computer inputs to the
