Networked-Internet / WAN with Site-to-Site VPN mode
In Networked-Internet / WAN with Site-to-Site VPN mode, the Extio 3 devices operate over the
internet or a wide-area-network (WAN) where there is a site-to-site virtual private network (VPN)
connection.
The following are the prerequisites to setting up Extio 3 IP KVM extenders to operate over Internet /
WAN with Site-to-Site VPN:
 Firmware version - Extio 3 firmware version 3.01.50 or 3.03.00 or higher (version 3.02
does not support this feature).
 Bandwidth - You need to ensure that the required network bandwidth is available for
your setup. Bandwidth requirement is tied to the video resolution, number of video
streams, and the application running on the source system. For more information, see
“Typical bandwidth requirements”, page 15.
 VPN tunnel - A VPN tunnel needs to be established between the transmitter and
receiver.
 Low network latency - Latency is the measure of time it takes for a data packet to travel
from one point to another. When configuring your WAN network, it would be best to
have as low a latency as possible.
Do the following to operate your Extio 3 units over the internet or WAN with Site-to-Site VPN:
1 Connect your devices – see “Connecting your Extio 3 devices”, page 31.
2 Validate your setup – see “Description of LEDs”, page 43.
3 Make sure the transmitter and receiver units are on the same VPN.
4 Update your firmware to v3.01.50 or 3.03.00 or higher using the
UpdaterOverNetwork.exe tool – see “Updating your Extio 3 firmware”, page 47. Note :
All of your units need to be running the same version of the firmware.
