Introduction
Overview
The KVM Over IP Matrix System is a solution that combines KE Series
Extenders (KE6900, KE6940, KE6900ST, KE8950, KE8952) with the KE
Management Software (CCKM) to ex monitor access to tend, control and
computers, across a network, in a multitude of ways. The system lets you setup
a matrix of remote KVM consoles that access computers across a network, with
the flexibility to control and configure each connection.
The KE Extenders consist of transmitters that connects to the computer and
receivers that provide console access from a separate location. The computer
is accessed from the remote console via a standard TCP/IP network or direct
Ethernet cable connection. This is perfect for any installation where you need
to place the console where it is convenient, but you want the computer to reside
in a secure location - away from the keyboard, mouse and display.
The KE6900 is a single view extender that supports one DVI display at each
end. The KE6940 is a dual view extender that supports two DVI displays at
each end, allowing the video output to display across two monitors.
The KE8950 and KE8952 are single view 4K HDMI extenders that support
HDCP 1.4 and HDMI 1.4a. The KE8900 Series connect unit-to-unit or over a
TCP/IP network via a Gigabit Ethernet or SFP port. Both models support Fiber
Channel over Ethernet via SFP fiber modules* which connect to a network
switch at speeds up to 1 Gbps. Additionally, the KE8952’s Gigabit LAN port
supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) which provides a network connection and
powers the unit from a network switch over Cat 5e cable.
The KE Extenders have a local On Screen Display (OSD) on the receiver end
to configure both units - for easy setup and operation. Both the transmitter and
receiver have RS-232 ports to connect to a serial terminal for configuration or
serial devices such as touchscreens and barcode scanners.
As KVM over IP Matrix Extenders they can make console-to-computer
connections in several ways: one-to-one (Extender mode), one-to-many
(Splitter mode), many-to-one (Switch mode), or many-to-many (Matrix mode).
The KE Management Software (CCKM) allows you to define matrix
connections and manage KE Extenders with features such as auto-detection of
KE Extenders, username/password authentication, switching and sharing of

connections, scheduling, permissions and more. Whether you're extending
computer access for Monitoring, Broadcasting, Editing or Workstation setup,
the KVM Over IP Matrix System gives you the flexibility and control to
manage one or hundreds of extended connections.
Note: The SFP module is sold separately. You can choose the 2A-136G, a
multi-mode SFP module that provides 1 GbE connectivity up to 550 meters; or
the 2A-137G, a single-mode SFP module that provides 1 GbE connectivity up
to 10 kilometers. Visit ATEN's website or contact your ATEN dealer for more
information.

KE6900ST Point-to-Point Installation
The KE6900ST DVI KVM over IP Extender Lite is a cost saving alternative
for installations with Transmitters that console or audio don't need a local
transmission but want the connectivity features of advanced KE models.
Setting up the KE6900ST system in a point-to-point configuration is simply a
matter of plugging in the cables. Make sure that all the equipment is powered
off. Refer to the installation diagrams on the next page and do the following:
1. Connect the USB DVI-D KVM Cable (provided with this package) to the
USB and DVI-D ports on the front of the KE6900ST.
2. Connect the other end of the USB DVI-D KVM Cable to USB and DVI
video ports on the computer.

Setting up the KE6900ST on a network allows point-to-point, point-to-
multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint computer to console operation by
connecting multiple KE69x0 devices on the same TCP/IP LAN. To setup a
LAN installation, simply connect the Cat 5e/6 cable (in step 5 above) to the
network instead of directly between two KE69x0 devices and see KE6900 LAN
Installation, page 36 for details.

KE6900 LAN Installation
Setting up the units on a network allows point-to-point, point-to-multipoint,
and multipoint-to-multipoint computer to console operation by connecting
multiple KE6900 / KE6900ST / KE6940 devices on the same TCP/IP LAN.
Prior to setup we recommended laying out the plans for your KE installation
using our performance guide (see Keys to Network Performance, page 228).
Note: 1. The units are preconfigured with factory-default network settings. If
you install only one set of KE Series units, you do not need to change
these default network settings. See Default IP Addresses, page 45, for
further details.
2. In a network setup with multiple units, each Transmitter and Receiver
must be configured with a unique IP address. See Network
Configuration, page 44, for further details.
3. We recommended using 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire
speeds, non-blocking with 1Gbps/1.5Mpps performance per port)
between KE Series devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/
100Mbps switches might cause poor performance.
4. In multipoint configurations, the IGMP and flow control function of
your network switches/hubs must be enabled to avoid the
deterioration of data throughput. To ensure functionality use a layer 3
switch that supports IGMP queries.
5. If your network uses cascaded switches, please check to ensure the
data throughput is sufficient.
6. To get the best performance, we suggest creating a private network
for KE devices, as they are bandwidth-intensive devices.
Make sure that all the equipment is powered off. Refer to the installation
diagram on the following page, and do the following:
1. On the Transmitter side, plug the mouse, keyboard, DVI monitor,
microphone and speakers into the ports on the Console section of the
KE6900T / KE6940T.* Each port is marked with an appropriate icon to
indicate itself.
2. Connect the USB KVM cable provided to the KVM Ports on the front of
the KE6900T / KE6940T.
3. Connect the other end of the USB KVM cable to the keyboard, video,
mouse, speaker and microphone ports on the computer.

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup
37
4. For control of serial devices, connect the RS-232 serial port on the
Transmitter to a serial port on the computer.
5. Use a Cat 5e/6 cable to connect the KE6900T / KE6940T’s LAN port to
the local area TCP/IP network.
6. Plug the power adapter into an AC source; and plug the other end into the
KE6900T / KE6940T’s Power Jack.
7. On the Receiver side, plug the mouse, keyboard, DVI monitor,
microphone, and speakers into the ports on the Console section of the
KE6900R / KE6940R.**
8. Use a Cat 5e/6 cable to connect the KE6900R / KE6940R’s LAN port to
the local area TCP/IP network.
9. Plug the second power adapter into an AC source; and plug the other end
into the KE6900R / KE6940R's Power Jack.
10. Use the OSD on the Receiver to configure the network settings for both
devices (See Network Configuration, page 44).
11. Repeat these steps for each Transmitter and Receiver you wish to install on
the network.
12. Power on the computer(s).
Note: 1. If installing the KE6940 with two DVI monitors, connect the second
DVI monitor via a DVI cable into the additional ports on the KE6940
and computer.
2. A keyboard or mouse with special functions may need to use the USB
ports for advanced features to work (see USB Mode, page 97).

Network Configuration
This section provides instructions to configure the network settings with a
fixed IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. To use the IP Installer to
configure the IP address, see IP Installer, page 222.
Note: 1. Both devices are preconfigured with factory-default network settings.
If you install only one set of KE Series units, you do not need to
change these default network settings. See Default IP Addresses,
page 45, for further details.
2. In a network setup with multiple units, each transmitter and receiver
must be configured with a unique IP address. See Network
Configuration, page 44, for further details.
3. We recommended using 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire
speeds, non-blocking with 1Gbps/1.5Mpps performance per port)
between devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/100Mbps
switches might cause poor performance.
4. In multipoint configurations, the IGMP and flow control function of
your network switches/hubs must be enabled to avoid the
deterioration of data throughput. To ensure functionality use a layer 3
switch that supports IGMP queries.
5. If your network uses cascaded switches, please check to ensure the
data throughput is sufficient.
6. To get the best performance, we suggest creating a private network
for KE device, as they are bandwidth-intensive devices.
To configure the network settings, do the following:
1. Setup the hardware and connect the Transmitter and Receiver to the local
area network (see KE6900 LAN Installation, page 36, or KE8950 LAN
Installation, page 40).
2. From the Receiver, tap the Scroll Lock key twice to invoke the OSD.
3. Select the User Station or Transmitter from the sidebar menu.
4. Enter the password and click Configure.
The default password is: .
5. From the Network tab select Set IP address manually and enter the
