How to use a receiver to connect a remote console
The receiver provides a hotkey function for the remote console. Please refer to P.21
< 1.4 > IP console setting
After the cable connection, please take the following steps to configure the IP KVM :
- Download IPKVMsetup.exe from the link: www.austin-hughes.com/support/utilities/cyberview/IPKVMsetup.exe
- Double click IPKVMsetup.exe to configure the IP KVM by device setup as below
- Click Refresh Device to search the connected IP KVM
- Select the M.A.C. address, which you want to set up, then click Query Device
- Enter Super user login. The default is super
- Enter the Super user password. The default is to pass
- Enter the new superuser password
- Re-enter the new password
- Change the desired IP address / Subnet mask / Gateway, then click Setup Device to confirm the setting to IP KVM
- The default address is as below:–
■ The single IP KVM model, such as MU-IP3213
– http://192.168.1.22
– http://192.168.1.22 (for 1st IP)
http://192.168.1.23 (for 2nd IP)
■ The dual IP KVM model, such as MU-IP3224
- Open Internet Explorer ( I.E. ), version 6.0 or above
- Enter the IP KVM address into the address bar
– For Single IP – http://192.168.1.22
– For Dual IP – http://192.168.1.22 ( for 1st IP )

Password ( default is pass ) - After successful login to IP KVM, the user will enter the main page of IP KVM
The setting is enough for the intranet.
If the users access KVM GUI via the internet, please ask MIS for assistance and download the IP KVM user manual from the link: www.austin-hughes.com/support/usermanual/cyberview/UM-CV-IP.pdf
< 1.5 > Important Preconfiguration for IP console
You must complete the following tasks after the IP console setting is performed.
( 1 ) TARGET SERVER SETUP
**Servers connected to KVM
Resolution
The IP KVM remote console recognizes several varieties of video display formats with resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 @60Hz. (Refer to the User Manual for a list of supported video formats). Minimize bandwidth by setting the target server’s video resolution to the minimum setting required for your remote monitoring application. The following video modes are recommended:
(i) 1024 x 768 @ 60Hz
(ii) 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz
On a Windows target server system, select Control Panel > Display > Settings.
Modify the screen resolution value as necessary.
Mouse
Use generic mouse drivers for optimum mouse control during remote sessions. Set the mouse pointer speed to a middle setting with no acceleration or snap-to effects.
On a Windows target server system, select Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options Set the pointer speed to medium and disable Enhanced pointer precision
For Linux GUIs, set the mouse acceleration to exactly 1 and the threshold to exactly 1.
If your keyboard keeps repeating keys when it is plugged into the KVM. Please follow either one below :
( a. ) Enable key release timeout if you experience duplicated keystrokes during poor network performance.
– login to IP KVM remote console
– go to Interfaces KVM settings > Keyboard / Mouse
– Click the Key Release Timeout
– adjust Timeout after if necessary
( b. ) Reduce video bandwidth usage if you experience duplicated keystrokes during poor network
– login to IP KVM remote console
– go to Interfaces KVM Settings > User Console > Transmission Encoding,
– select Manually
– adjust Compression to [ 0-none ] and Color depth to [ 8-bit – 256 col ]
< 1.5 > Important Preconfiguration for IP console
( 2 ) REMOTE CLIENT COMPUTER SETUP
The remote client computer must have a web browser ( such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Netscape Navigator ) and a Java Virtual Machine ( version 1.4 or higher ) installed. Enable Java on the web browser.
JAVA Update for IP KVM
Due to the latest update from Java security, customers may face the “JAVA Block” message while accessing the remote console over IP as below :
If it said so, please download the latest IP KVM firmware ( version aust-i11-150608 ) from the link below: http://www.austin-hughes.com/resources/software/kvm-switch
Then follow the attached steps to update the firmware.
Firmware Update Steps
- Download the latest IP KVM firmware ( version aust-i11-150608 ) from the link http://www.austin-hughes.com/resources/software/kvm-switch
- Login to the IP KVM
- Click < Update Firmware >
- Click < Browse > to select the firmware file
- Click < Upload >
- Click < Update >
After the firmware has been updated, IP KVM will reset automatically.
After one minute, you will be redirected to the Login page and requested to log in again.
< 1.6 > KVM Cascade
- Cascade up to 8 levels, 256 servers
- Cascading multiple KVM with CMC-8 cascade cable.
Cascaded KVMs from levels 2 to 8 must be the models of MU-1602 / MU-3202 or M-802 / M-1602.
When multiple matrices KVMs cascade together, the master KVM at level 1 will take all control of other slave KVM switches (e.g. level 2 to 8).
The slave matrix KVM will be as a port expansion module of the master matrix KVM, the original remote console on slave KVM will be sacrificed and disabled.
