Safety Precautions
To avoid potential video or keyboard problems when using APC products:• If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the
server and monitor are on the same phase.• For best results, the server and monitor should be on the
same circuit.
ElectricalHazard
To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment:
• Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any APC product configuration.
• Test AC outlets at the server and monitor for proper polarity and grounding.
• Use only with grounded outlets at both the server and monitor. When using a backup Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), provide power to the server, the monitor, and the IP Gateway for Analog KVM from the supply.

1. Disconnect the local USB keyboard and mouse from the host computer.
2. Obtain a USB A/B cable (not included).3. Attach the type A connector to the USB port on the Sun
workstation.4. Attach the type B connector to the USB port on the IP
Gateway for Analog KVM.
Note
The Sun workstation dynamically detects any connections and/or disconnections from the USB ports and uses whichever device(s) was connected last. Before using either the local or remote keyboard and mouse, first disconnect the device(s) in use and then connect the new device(s).
For an example of completed connections to a Sun workstation, see the illustration that follow.

Setting the IP Address
This section provides instructions for setting the IP address for the IP Gateway for Analog KVM.
Using the static IP address
The IP Gateway for Analog KVM boots to the following default static IP address, default gateway and subnet mask:
• IP address: 192.168.1.254• Gateway: 192.168.1.1• Netmask: 255.255.255.0
You can use the IP Gateway for Analog KVM on a subnet that matches the default static IP address or use the IP Gateway for Analog KVM Web Server Network window to change the IP address.
For information on changing the IP address, see Modifying the Configuration in your User’s Guide.
20 APC IP Gateway for Analog KVM Installation
Using ARP to Set the IP Address
You can use Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), a command line utility included with most operating system platforms, to set the IP address for the IP Gateway for Analog KVM. Follow these instructions to set the IP address using ARP.
To run ARP and set the IP address
1. Contact your network administrator and obtain an IP address.
2. From a client computer attached to the same subnet as the IP Gateway for Analog KVM, open a DOS window and enter the following command:
arp –s <IP address> <mac address>
Replace <IP address> with the IP address obtained from your network administrator, and <mac address> with the 12 digit MAC address listed on the IP Gateway for Analog KVM (for example, 00-05-C2-1E-40-20).
3. Use ping to test the IP address of the IP Gateway for Analog KVM by entering the following command:
ping <IP address>
Note
As a security feature, ARP runs only when the system boots to the default IP address of 192.168.1.254. After ARP has been used to define a new IP address, ARP is turned off. To run ARP again you must set the IP address to the default and reboot the system.
Note
During verification of the IP address, if the message “host not responding” displays four times, the IP or MAC address is incorrect.
APC IP Gateway for Analog KVM Installation 21
Installation: Using ARP to Set the IP Address
4. If the Ping command was successful, remove the IP address from the ARP table using the following command:
arp –d <IP address>
If the Ping command failed, verify the IP and MAC address and resolve any communication issues.
22 APC IP Gateway for Analog KVM Installation
Using DHCP to Obtain the IP Address
If Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services are available on the local subnet where the IP Gateway for Analog KVM is installed, you can use the following instructions to configure the IP Gateway for Analog KVM to use DHCP to obtain the IP address automatically.
To use DHCP to obtain the IP address:
1. At the Web browser Address bar of a client computer, type the IP address of the IP Gateway for Analog KVM, and click ENTER.
2. In the Enter Network Password dialog box, type apc (default username) and apc (default password) and click OK.
3. Click Network. 4. From the Network window, select the Use DHCP option
and click Apply.
Network Window
APC IP Gateway for Analog KVM Installation 23
Installation: Using DHCP to Obtain the IP Address
The IP Gateway for Analog KVM unit automatically obtains an IP address from DHCP services and uses it as the unit address. The previous IP address is stored until the Set Static IP option is enabled.
To disable DHCP configuration
1. In the Web browser of a client computer, enter the IP address of the IP Gateway for Analog KVM and click ENTER.
2. In the Enter Network Password dialog box, type apc (the default username) and apc (the default password) and click OK.
3. Click Network.4. Select the Set Static IP option and use the previous IP
address, default gateway and subnet mask settings, or enter new values for these settings and click Apply.
5. Log on to the static IP address. The IP Gateway for Analog KVM Web Server will refresh with the new IP address.
