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.

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.

Conguration

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

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.

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.
