Point-to-point installation
The following instructions will enable you to install your Black Box ServSwitch
DTX5002 Extender in a point-to-point configuration. In a point-to-point configuration no
administrator setup of the transmitter or the receiver is required. This enables you to install
the system quickly, directly out-of-the-box. However, if you choose the point-to-point
configuration you can install only one transmitter and receiver pair on a subnet. If you use
this configuration you must also locate both the
transmitter and the receiver on the same
subnet.
