The Amulet Hotkey DXT-H4 is a quad-display KVM Extender Host. The DXT-H4
uses PCoIP® for secure and high-performance remote access for any workstation,
laptop, closed system or legacy PC. The DXT-H4 sends data to a remote zero
client using a LAN/WAN. Almost any computer that supports USB and digital
video can be integrated into a mission-critical, PCoIP remote-desktop solution.
You will need:
■DXT-H4 quad-display KVM Extender Host (RJ45 or SFP variant);
■power supply with separate mains lead;
■cables for video, audio and USB (available separately in 1 m and 2.8 m sets);
■(optional) SFP module, available separately. See the SFP Modules datasheet
or contact Technical Support to discuss compatible modules.

Preparation
1. If possible, restart the host computer to make sure all updates are complete.

Make sure the power outlet is switched off before connecting the power supply.
1. For each video cable, push the DisplayPort connector into the host PC and
the mini DisplayPort connector into the socket on the DXT-H4 rear panel (1).
2. For the USB cable, push the USB Type A plug into the host PC and the USB
Type B plug into the DXT-H4 rear panel (6).
3. Push the green and blue connectors at one end of the audio cable into the
matching green and blue sockets on the DXT-H4 rear panel (2).
4. Push the green and blue connectors at the other end of the audio cable into
the matching green and blue sockets on the host PC audio panel.
5. Connect the power supply to the socket on the DXT-H4 rear panel (7).
Connect the DXT-H4 to your network (see Figure 2 forsocketdescriptions)
For best performance, isolate the PCoIP connection from normal network traffic.
1. If used, push the SFP module into the network port on the rear panel (3).
See the SFP Modules datasheet for a list of compatible modules.
2. Connect the network cable from the network port (3) to your LAN/WAN.
DHCP or static IP assignment
If your network uses DHCP, the DXT-H4 obtains its IP address from the DHCP
server. If no DHCP server is available, the DXT-H4 times out after three minutes
and adopts its default IP address of 192.168.1.100.
Change the default IP address as soon as possible.
