2 ----- Introduction Thank you for purchasing Ne wStar NewStar Digital KVM via IP series with integrated KVM. Using the Internet or your TCP/IP enabled network, you can now remotely monitor and control critical PC servers and workstation s using an industry-standard Web browser or VNC client.
3 ----- Quick Start Guide For this Quick Start Guide, we offer three different easy step-by-step ways, letting you setup this unit very quickly. The First Way : If you don’t have DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Step 1. Connect the CAT-5 cable to the LAN port on the rear panel of NewStar Digital KVM via IP .
4 b. Right click on "Local Area Connection", and sele ct "Properties" . c. Dou ble click on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)".
