UltraLink 2 Quick Start Guide
1- Unit Configuration
To configure the UL 2, the default IP address must be changed to be compatible with your
network. To modify the IP address, connect the unit to a computer configured with an
Ethernet card. Use a network cross over cable to connect the computer to UltraLink 2.
Connect the computer to be accessed as shown below.
1- Access the control panel, network tab on
the computer being used to configure the
UltraLink 2.
2- Change the existing IP address to
192.168.1.40 and the IP network
mask to 255.255.255.0.
UL 2’s default IP is 192.168.1.42. This
change creates a standalone network that
is compatible with UltraLink 2.
3- From the computer used to configure the
unit, start a web browser and enter the IP
address 192.168.1.42 as the URL. The
UltraLink 2 will answer with the below
display in the browser.
1-Click on the link:
“Connect using built-in
VNC Viewer”.
2-The built-in viewer will
start and display the
connected computer’s
video in the window.
3-Click on “Configure” in
the upper right corner to
display the configuration
menu.

Keyboard, monitor, and
mouse also connected.

Change the IP address, network mask, and other network information as needed to be
compatible with your network. The UNC port (5900) and HTTP Port (80) should only be
changed if they conflict with existing network settings. If you choose to use DHCP, check the
box adjacent to “Use DHCP”. When complete “Save” the new IP information.
NOTE: If you choose the option “Use DHCP” the IP address will change to whatever IP
address your DHCP server assigns it when it’s connected to your network. Once the IP
address has been changed, UltraLink 2 will lose the connection to the computer used for
configuration. Also, if the IP is changed by the DHCP server it is up to the user to determine
the new IP address.
When the UltraLink UL2 has been properly configured change the IP information on the
computer used to connect to the UltraLink 2 back to the original values.
2- Connecting the cables
Single Access Model
1- Connect the supplied KVM cable
from the keyboard, monitor, and
mouse ports on the UltraLink 2 to
the corresponding ports on the
computer to access.
2- Connect a standard network cable
from the RJ45 connector on the
UltraLink 2 to your network.

from the keyboard, monitor, and
mouse ports on the UltraLink 2 to
the corresponding ports on the
computer to access.
2- Connect a local keyboard, monitor,
and mouse to the corresponding
ports on the UltraLink 2.
3- Connect a standard network cable
from the RJ45 connector on the
UltraLink 2 to your network.
Connecting to a KVM switch
1- If the KVM switch has native (PS/2,
HD15) connectors, connect the
supplied KVM cable from the
keyboard, monitor, and mouse
ports on the UltraLink 2 to the
corresponding ports on the KVM
switch to access. If the KVM switch
has DB25F connectors, an adapter
cable must be used to connect the
UltraLink 2 to the KVM switch.
2- Dual model only - Connect a local
keyboard, monitor, and mouse to
the corresponding ports on the
UltraLink 2
