Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the IP KVM HDMI / DVI Extender, IPKVM-350-ED. This manual
contains information that will assist you in installing and operating the product.
Product Description
The OPTICIS HDMI / DVI IP KVM Extender, IPKVM-350-ED is designed for extending of HDMI,
keyboard / mouse and provides unicast (1 to 1) over IP network. But the key feature of Dual-display
mode inside IPKVM-350-ED enables user to extend two (2) displays with keyboard / mouse.
The transmitter, IPKVM-350-E (Encoder) connected to a HDMI source, encodes the HDMI by H.264
and transmits the video signal via Ethernet. The receiver, IPKVM-350-D (Decoder) connected to a
display, receives the H.264 encoded video signal via the Ethernet and decodes video signal into the
HDMI display.
The USB keyboard and mouse interface in the receiver, IPKVM-350-D also can be accessed to the
source via transmitter, IPKVM-350-E, if it is connected to the source by USB interface.
The IPKVM-350-ED supports the digital video data of full HD up to 1080p at 60Hz and stereo audio
and transmits the signal via Intra network. By using GUI interface and PC program, user can control
the transmitters for connecting in the receiver side.

System Requirements for Setup
♦Hardware requirements
▶You must have a HDMI graphic controller or card having a HDMI or DVI port in your PC or
any other equipment being used.
▶It should support the maximum graphic resolution feature of displays to be connected.
▶No special requirements for memory size, CPU speed and chipsets, if you’ve already
properly installed your HDMI or DVI graphic controllers or cards.
♦Software requirements
▶You need to check OS version of your PC or any other equipment being used.
♦Network requirements
▶You may need Ethernet switch(L2 or L3) as a switching hub, Optical-Ethernet switch or
router for connecting multiple IPKVM-350-EDs in Local network. And also it is possible to
communicate directly between one pair of IPKVM-350-ED, point-to-point connection.
Network speed of each port of Ethernet switch requires 100/1000Mbps
♦requirements for control PC to install RemoteManager
▶We provides RemoteManager [PC program] for setting and control. The program
manages user accounts, setup of IP addresses of IPKVM-350-EDs.
▶Requirements: Windows XP and Window7 (or above OS)
♦AC/DC Power Adapter Technical Advisory
▶The IPKVM-350-ED has a reverse voltage protection circuit and receiver (Rx) module also
has overcurrent protection circuit.
▶The IPKVM-350-ED is designed to use mainly external +5V AC/DC power adaptor. The
internal power supplied through a HDMI pin (#18) from the graphic source is used to
identify normal connection between a source and transmitter, IPKVM-350-E.

Setting Local/Remote Authority
You can use KVM (including an HID mouse and/or a keyboard, or a knob (or controller) under user’s
authority. Only on the Local site, you can set user’s authority to Local or Remote using an external
console switch. But without the external console switch, you can access to the devices on both local
and remote site.

- 11 -
LED Indication
IPKVM-350-ED has two (2) LEDs for Power and Authority status located on the front
♦Power status LED (Red)
When power is applied, the red LED will be turned on.
♦Authority status LED (Green)
If green LED turns on the transmitter, IPKVM-350 doesn’t work HID Mouse/Keyboard and
others (Knob, etc.) on the Remote site. And also if green LED turns on the receiver, IPKVM-
350-D is ready to use HID Mouse/Keyboard and others (Knob, etc.) on the Remote site. You
can set the authority state to Local or Remote on the external console switch (TX). And you
can see same status via LEDs on the Console switch. Refer to the page 30, “Externally
Setting Local/Remote Authority”.
SW & Factory Reset
♦SW Reset: Press the Reset switch on the back of devices shortly to reset devices.
♦Factory Reset : To recover the Factory setting, press and hold the Reset switch on the
Back of devices until the LED turns off after blinking approx.10sec.
Configuration & Operation
Note: Please keep the installation procedure below. Improper or no operation may result if the
start-up sequence is not followed correctly.
Note: IPKVM-350-ED supports static fixed IP on the network. And a default IP is 192.168.0.100 on
the Txs and 192.168.0.200 on the RXs from shipping group ,that is, all Txs have 192.168.0.100
and all Rxs have 192.168.0.200 from shipping group. And also, Gateway is 192.168.0.1 and
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 in both Txs and Rxs.
Important:
When you first set and modify devices for a system configuration, you need to use Remote
Manager (PC Program).
First, you should directly connect with PC and change the IP address of each Tx or Rx to another
one by using PC Program. It is because devices, which have same IP, are not operated on one
network. Refer to the page 12, “Remote Manager (PC Program).
Second, you need to set Tx IP grouping on the Rx for multi-screen viewing, directly with PC
or on one network by using PC Program.

- 12 -
And then, you are ready to set the system configuration or operate devices on a network.
Refer to the page 23 Getting Started.
Remote Manager (PC Program)
1) Installing PC Program
Notice: First of all, you should check the IP address and Gateway of the PC which should be set
to the same IP class of the devices, Txs and Rxs from Network setting of PC.
eg. Tx 192.168. 0.40 (GW 192.168.0.1), Rx 192.168.0.51(GW 192.168.0.1)
=> PC 192.168.0.xxx (GW 192.168.0.1)
(1) Firstly, uninstall on the Control Panel of Window OS to re-install or upgrade the PC Program.
(2) Run the IPKVM350 PC Program Install.EXE on the Windows Operating System.
(3) Carry out the procedure according to on-screen instructions.
▶It will take a few seconds installing procedure to be completed.
♦If installation is completed, you can ready to access the PC program and setup or modify
IPKVM-350-EDs.
(4) Run the PC program (RemoteManager).
2) Scan
(1) Firstly you should assign IP address “Device Auto Detect and start the auto detection.

- 17 -
5) “Dual display”mode Setting
To use videos, a keyboard and a mouse for dual displays on the remote site (transmitted from
one source PC with dual video ports), you have to set IP Grouping for dual displays.
Important: If you have ”IPs, IP1 and IP2”for dual displays on the “grouping item”more than
one, you have to insert an Rx IP address on the “Dual mode”item as the other of a pair of Rxs
for “Dual display”mode.
Note: After IP Scanning, double click(Mouse) a Rx IP address or type a Rx IP address and
press ‘connect’button, and then you are ready to set for dual monotors.
(1) Add IP (both IP1 and IP2) and device names on the “grouping”item.
(2) Add an IP (Dual Rx IP) as the other one of a pair of Rxs for dual displays, and then press
‘write’button.
(3) Press “Sync”to save the grouping.

- 18 -
♦In case of correct setting with “Dual Rx IP”
6) EDID Read/Write
♦You can read and write the EDID of the connected display without using builted-in EDID.
♦EDID read on the receiver
(1) Connect a isplay to HDMI/DVI port of the Receiver and recycle the power supply of selected
device.
(2) Click “EDID read”button.

- 19 -
(3) You can read and the EDID of the connected display.
(4) You can save the red EDID to PC for writing the EDID to a transmitter.
♦EDID read on the transmitter
You can repeat [1]~[4] to read EDID of a transmitter except connecting a display to
HDMI/DVI Loop-through port of the Transmitter
