Page 10 - ATEN KVM over IP Matrix System Implementation Guide

Notes:
ES0154P/ES0154 is ideal for installation in combination with ATEN’s KVM over IP extenders; however, it is not recommended to be deployed with
network switches of other brands.

Dedicated or Integrated Network?

It is important to decide as early as possible when implementing the ATEN KVM over IP Matrix System whether the
system will be integrated into an existing network or deployed on a dedicated A/V network. It is highly recommended

that the ATEN KVM over IP Matrix System is installed on to a separate dedicated network switch.
4.2 Network Setup Examples

One to One

This is the simplest setup; using a single transmitter to receiver connection that extends a computer’s distance from the
keyboard, mouse and monitor. One-to-one setups can be directly connected by a Cat 5e/6 cable between two units – up to
100 meters. The KE / KX models can also be connected via optical fiber cables for distances up to 10 kilometers. You can
also manage point-to-point connections, set up over a LAN with no distance limitations, by assigning each device an IP
address.

One-to-Many
One-to-Many: With the KVM over IP Extenders you can configure how to share a computer when multiple users access it,
with 4 modes: Exclusive (first user has control - others no access); Occupy (first user has control - others view only - when
first is inactive - next user to move mouse takes control); Share (all users have access and control at the same time); or
View Only (no control - users can only view the video display).
