Installation
Package Contents
This package should contain:
1 x CAT5 Multi-user KVM•
1 x Power Cord•
1 x Rack Mounting Hardware•
1 x Instruction Manual•
Required Cables and Hardware
Depending on your needs, you may need one or more of the following
cables. Please note that the corresponding StarTech.com part numbers
are listed in brackets:
All applications:
For connection to a LAN: 1 x Straight-through Ethernet patch cable
(M45PATCHxxxx)
DB9F to RJ45F Adapter (GC98FF, GC98MF)

Hardware Installation
To connect the KVM Remote Control Unit to the Host Computer and
Network:
Using a Category 5 Ethernet patch cable, connect the LAN connector1.
on the rear panel of the SVxx54DX4I to a network data jack (usually
on a hub, switch, router, or pre-wired wall jack).
Connect a standard PS/2 or USB keyboard to the Local Keyboard port2.
on the rear panel of the SVxx54DX4I.
Connect a standard PS/2 or USB mouse to the Local Mouse port on3.
2
the rear panel of the SVxx54DX4I.
Connect an XGA-compliant (or higher) monitor to the Video Out port4.
on the front panel of SVxx54DX4I.
Connect the power cord (provided) to an available electrical outlet.Plug5.
the opposite end of the power cord into the AC power connector on the
rear of the unit.
Power up the KVM.6.
IMPORTANT: SVxx54DX4I is cooled by fans and convection. As such,
please ensure the vents on both sides as well as the rear panel are
unobstructed.

Conguration
SVxx54DX4I offers four distinct methods for configuring the unit for
your network. Which method will work best will depend on your level of
experience and your specific network configuration.
Using the On-Screen Display
Upon initial boot, you will require an administrative username and
password. By default, the username and password are both: admin. You
will be given the opportunity to change the password (recommended),
once the configuration is complete.
The DHCP assigned IP Address will be visible at this time, at the bottom
of the screen. If no DHCP server is detected, a factory assigned IP
address will be displayed in its place (10.0.0.15 by default). Please make
note of the assigned IP address, as you will need to enter it into your
web browser to access the Web Interface.
Once the username and password (admin, admin) have been entered,
a status window will appear. Press “I” to proceed to the Main Menu
screen.You will be asked if you wish to change the default password.
Select Ye s or No as appropriate, then press Enter to continue. If no
4
DHCP connection is present, press the Setup button on the rear panel of
SVxx54DX4I to display the Main Menu screen, where you will be given
several basic setup options:
If static IP addresses are assigned, you will likely need to change the
Net Mask, IP Address and other details, prior to connecting via your Web
browser. If this is the case, connect a local keyboard (USB or PS/2) and
press the Enter key.
To configure SVxx54DX4I to your required network settings, use the
Network Setup Wizard. To select from the menus provided, use the
arrow keys on your keyboard. At any time, you can return to the previous
menu by pressing the Page Up key.
5
Using DHCP
This method requires that your network implement DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol), usually on a server or network access device
such as a router, that dynamically allows devices to join the network
without pre-configuration.
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 another device that acts
as the DHCP server on the network. (You may need to contact your
Network Administrator for this information).
A simple DHCP log 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 SVxx54DX4I 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 SVxx54DX4I 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;
Please note: The OSD will report the IP address as assigned by the DHCP
server. If you have a directly connected monitor, the following steps are
not required.
