Introduction
Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better!
Getting Started
We recommend that you:
- Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment.
- Review the contents of this user manual.
Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/KDS-SW2-EN7 to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
Achieving Best Performance
- Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).
- Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils.
- Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality.
- Position your Kramer KDS-SW2-EN7 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

Allocating the IP Address via LCD screen menu
KDS-SW2-EN7 IP default static addresses is: 192.168.1.39. By default, DHCP is enabled, and assigns an IP address to the device. If DHCP Server is not available, for example, in case a device is connected directly to the laptop, that device gets the default IP address. If these IP addresses are already in use, the system searches for a random unique IP in the range of 192.168.X.Y. the allocated IP address can be identified using the LCD screen menu.
Setting Channel Number
Each encoder requires a unique channel number, and the connected decoders should be tuned to that encoder channel. You can set the channel number via the LCD screen menu or the embedded web pages.
To set the channel number for KDS-SW2-EN7, via LCD screen menu:
- Connect the device to the 24V DC power adapter and connect the adapter to the mains electricity. The ON LED lights green, and the LINK LED flashes (indicating that no streaming activity is detected).
- In the LCD screen menu, go to DEV SETTINGS > CH DEFINE.

- Select Channel ID and define the channel ID number.
By default, KDS-SW2-EN7 is DHCP-enabled. This section describes how to operate via the Ethernet and access the IP address when DHCP is enabled and when a static IP address is used.
You can connect to KDS-SW2-EN7 via Ethernet using either of the following methods:
- When DHCP is enabled (see, for example, KDS-SW2-EN7 Network Settings on page 35).
When using a static IP Address (DHCP is disabled):
- Directly to the PC using a crossover cable (see Connecting Ethernet Port Directly to a PC on page 16).
- Via a network hub, switch, or router, (using a static IP address) using a straight-through cable (see Connecting Ethernet Port via a Network Hub or Switch on page 19).
Note: If you want to connect via a router and your IT system is based on IPv6, speak to your IT department for specific installation instructions.
Accessing the Web UI
By default, IP setting for KDS-SW2-EN7 is DHCP.
To access the Web UI, perform the following:
- Connect the LAN port of the device to a local area network.
Make sure that there is a DHCP server in the Network so that the device can obtain a valid IP address. - Connect your PC to the same network as the device.
- Input the device's IP address in the browser and press Enter, the following window pops up.
Allocated IP address can be checked using LCD screen menu.
Figure 6: Login Window
- Input username and password (default username / password: admin / admin) and click Sign In to enter the main page of web UI.

Figure 41: Setting the decoder configuration
- Check the physical location of the Master decoder (lower left size in this example). The MAC address is automatically entered.
Figure 42: Setting Master MAC Address
- Manually enter the other (slave) decoder MAC addresses according to the physical setup.
- Click Slave.
KVM Roaming is configured.
Fast switching configuration
This section describes how to configure fast switching.
To fast switching:
- Access the encoder and decoder web pages.
- For each encoder, in the AV Routing page, set a unique Channel ID and name.
Figure 43: Setting Channel ID and Name on the KDS-SW2-EN7 Devices
-
Make sure that all the encoders in the system share the same settings. For example, to configure fast switching between encoder 1 and encoder 2 the following settings need to be identical on the input source:
-
HDCP setting.
■ Resolution and Refresh rate. -
On the decoders, set the Maximum Resolution in the AV Settings>Video page to be identical.
Fast switching is configured.

Protocol 3000
Kramer devices can be operated using Kramer Protocol 3000 commands sent via Ethernet ports.
Understanding Protocol 3000
Protocol 3000 commands are a sequence of ASCII letters, structured according to the following.
- Command format:
| Prefix | Command Name | Constant (Space) | Parameter(s) | Suffix |
| # | Command | Parameter |
- Feedback format:
| Prefix | Device ID | Constant | Command Name | Parameter(s) | Suffix |
| ~ | nn | @ | Command | Parameter |
- Command parameters – Multiple parameters must be separated by a comma (,). In addition, multiple parameters can be grouped as a single parameter using brackets ([ and ]).
- Parameters attributes – Parameters may contain multiple attributes. Attributes are indicated with pointy brackets (<...>) and must be separated by a period (.).
The command framing varies according to how you interface with the KDS-SW2-EN7. The following figure displays how the # command is framed using terminal communication software (such as Hercules):
Protocol 3000 Commands

You can also get an assigned IP by direct connection to USB or RS-232 protocol port, if available.
