4. Setting up the system
Set up the Minicom IP device systems according to their User Guide instructions.
In order to be managed by KVM.net II, all Minicom IP devices must be configured
to be KVM.net enabled. This is done from the Network Configuration page of each
IP device. For example, see the KVM.net section in Figure 10, KVM.net is enabled
by selecting the Enable KVM.net checkbox.
Figure 10 Network Configuration page sample
Also in the KVM.net section in Figure 10, specify how the KVM.net II server
detects the IP device. This can be done either by:
Manager Auto Discovery – when checked, KVM.net II automatically detects the
IP device if it resides on the same network segment.
Manager IP – If the IP device resides on a different segment, type the static IP
address of the KVM.net II Manager. (We advise typing the static IP address of the
KVM.net II Manager even if the IP device resides on the same network segment as
the KVM.net II Manager).
