Introduction
The SV1107IPEXT Server Remote Control KVM over IP with Virtual Me-
dia capability enables simple management of remote servers from any-
where in the world, through remote administrative control, while providing
a convenient way to monitor computers and servers over a network, or
over the Internet.
The SV1107IPEXT Server Remote Control KVM over IP also offers the
ability to transfer files to the server from a remote location, as well as the

cessed as if it originated from a local USB port - simplifying software or
operating system updates and installs via an Internet connection.

you can return to them after the initial set up.
The instructions on the following pages will explain how to put your com-
puter and SV1107IPEXT on the same network; the first set of instructions
cover Windows XP and 2000, the second set explains Windows Vista™.
