UltraLink 2 DVI Installation and Operation Manual 7
Installation
The UL2-DVI can be connected directly to a host computer, or to a DVI/USB KVM switch like the Vista DVI
Plus 4-port model (Part # KVM-4TDDL/A1). The UL2-DVI is NOT compatible with the Vista DVI Plus 8-port
model (KVM-8TDDL/A1).
This section describes how to connect the UltraLink 2 DVI to the host computer or KVM switch, and how to
change its network settings to make it visible on the network.
Making the Connections to the UltraLink 2 DVI
The first step is connecting the UL2-DVI to the host computer or KVM switch. Some of the connections are
required, and others are optional. Some depend on the position of DIP Switch 1.
While the connections can generally be made in any order, it is recommended that power be applied as a final
step. Applying power is described in the section “Connections based on DIP Switch 1” below.
Required Connections
Three connections from the UL2-DVI to the host computer or KVM switch are required: keyboard/mouse,
video, and LAN/Internet. These are as follows.
