NOTE: Black Box extenders will also support generic SFP modules.
2. Connect the video source to the Transmitter (Computer Unit).
3. Connect the monitor to the Receiver unit.
4. Use CATx cables (EIA/TIA 568B industry standard compliant) or fiber cables for connection between Transmitter/Receiver and
Gigabit LAN Switch.
5. Apply the proper power to all connecting devices.
NOTES:
a. We recommend using the highest quality materials (cables, SFP, etc.) to ensure optimal transmission quality.
b. If the screen does not display when you connect the computer:
1. Make sure the device cables are correctly and firmly attached.
2. Set your display device’s (TV, monitor, etc.) input source as DVI.
3. Check the PC BIOS configuration of the video output setting.
4. Connect your video source to the Display DIRECTLY to check if the video signal gets through.

CHAPTER 5: FIRMWARE UPGRADE
1.877.877.2269
Firmware files for upgrading the DVI KVM-IP Extender transmitter and receiver are usually different, unless otherwise specified.
ŠŠThe file for the transmitter contains the word “tx.”
ŠŠThe file for the receiver contains the word “rx.”
The firmware upgrade procedure is similar to the procedure of changing Baud Rate setting. Do the following two steps first before
upgrading the firmware.
STEP 1: Download a Zeroconf Networking Tool
STEP 2: Connect the Computer and Configure TCP/IP
To upgrade the firmware of either DVI KVM-IP Extender device:
1. Go to the computer that is connected to the Ethernet switch. See STEP 2: Connect the Computer and Configure TCP/IP.
2. Launch Bonjour browser, or any zeroconf tool you have downloaded.
3. Select “Web Server (HTTP)” to display the IP addresses of both the transmitter and receiver.
ŠŠdvi-gatewayXXX: This refers to the transmitter. XXX is the transmitter’s number.
ŠŠdvi-clientXXX: This refers to the receiver. XXX is the receiver’s number.
4. Launch the web browser, and type the transmitter’s IP address. The transmitter’s web user interface displays.
5. To select the appropriate firmware file for the transmitter, click the System tab > Update Firmware section > Browse.
FIGURE 5-1. SYSTEM TAB > UPDATE FIRMWARE
6. Click Upload to start the firmware upgrade.
