To configure the UL 2, the default IP address (192.168.1.42) must be changed to be compatible with
your network. There are two different ways to configure the UltraLink 2’s network information, using the
USB ports or a network crossover cable. Following explains both methods.
1- Unit Configuration via USB ports
The configuration procedure using USB connections is shown below.

1. Position Switch 2 on the UltraLink 2 to the ON position
2. Disconnect unit from the network if connected (computer and monitor should be ON)
3. Connect the PS/2 to USB adapters to the CPU adapter cable and to the computer’s USB ports.
4. Connect the PS/2 connectors on the other end of the cable to the UltraLink 2’s PS/2 connectors.
5. When the keyboard and mouse connectors are connected to the UltraLink 2, the computer
operating system will detect the UltraLink 2 unit as a removable drive.
6. Using Windows explorer, select the UL-2 removable drive and you should see a text file name
“Config.txt”. Edit this text file using a text editor like Notepad and change the IP Address, IP
NetMask and IP Gateway to the IP address information assigned to the UltraLink 2 unit. Also the
Unit name, Use DHCP, and Reset Admin Password options can be selected here. Complete
instructions are included in the “Config.txt” file.
7. When changes are complete, save the file and close the text editor.

Change the IP address, network mask, and other network information that has been
assigned to the UltraLink 2. The VNC 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: When the unit is configured properly and connected to the network, if you have
chosen the option “Use DHCP” the IP address will change to whatever IP address your
DHCP server assigns it. Once the IP address has been changed, UltraLink 2 will lose the
connection to the computer used for configuration. Please see the user’s manual for
additional DHCP information.
When complete, change the IP information on the computer used to connect to the
UltraLink 2 back to the original values.
