DAXTEN THE BRAINS BEHIND KVM SWITCHING amp SHARING 10 RackAccess 16IP Operating Guide Introduction The sections below explain how to configure and operate the SCOUT IP system remotely over IP CONFIGURING THE IP SYSTEM The SCOUT ip s communication interfaces are based on TCP IP and it comes configured with the values listed below DHCP active IP address None Net Mask 255 255 255 0 Default Gateway None If the above values are unsuitable change the IP configuration This can be done in a number of ways Configuration via DHCP server If the above values are unsuitable change the IP configuration By default the SCOUT ip will try to contact a DHCP server in the subnet to which it is physically connected If a DHCP server is found it may provide a valid IP address gateway address and net mask We recommended configuring a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of SCOUT ip You can find the MAC address labelled on the back of the RackAccess 16ip If the DHCP connection fails on boot up SCOUT ip will boot with the last known IP configuration Configuration via Windows Software Use the software provide on the CD to alter the configuration according to your needs The software requires Windows based operation system gt Select configuration and Find new devices gt Select the newly found device shown by the MAC address gt Select Device and then Initial Device setup 2 Device2.
