IP Gefen EXT-DVIKA-LANS: How to connect?

Discussion in 'KVM' started by Helge Fjogstad, Dec 28, 2021.

    Hi
    I just bought a set of Gefen KVM gen 2.0, the EXT-DVIKA-LANS to be correct. The RX I can connect to through the IP address it gives me on the monitor, but the TX there is no way to find out what the IP address is as the monitor does not show anything and the software Syner-G is not supported, even though the manual says we should use it. So how on earth am I supposed to connect these two?

    regards
    Helge

    It appears to be a problem with the sender. The receiver cannot find the transmitter/sender, and the Remote IP is therefor "unknown". Even when they are connected directly as described in the manual. I suspect it to have a fault, as I can get the local IP address for the local IP/RX, but not the TX/sender.

    Well I'll be d****...! After 10 hours of trying to find out what the problem is, I send emails to Gefen support, to this forum and to KVM Galore about the problems, and suddenly the two items appear in the Syner-G software (I have not done ANYTHING different), and suddenly I have the IP address for the sender also and can log in to it.

    However, the receiver still does not find the sender/transmitter, even after setting up new IP addresses and connecting them. And funny enough, after I changed the IP addresses on both, they now does not appear in Syner-G (Yes, I have changed IP on the PC with Syner-G as well). So now what..?
