Answer
The Dominion KX III is the first and only
KVM-over-IP switch to support full high
definition (HD) remote video resolution –
1920x1080 at frame rates up to 30 frames per
second with digital audio.
In addition, popular widescreen formats are
supported, including 1600x1200, 1680x1050
and 1440x900, so remote users can work with
today's higher resolution monitors.
It depends on the type of audio format used,
but to listen to CD quality audio, approximately
1.5 Mbps is used.
Servers with DVI ports that support DVI-A
(analog) and DVI-I (integrated analog and
digital) can use Raritan's ADVI-VGA
inexpensive, passive adapter to convert the
server's DVI port to a VGA plug that can be
connected to a KX III CIM's VGA plug.
Servers with DVI ports that support DVI-I or
DVI-D (digital) can use the new
D2CIM-DVUSB-DVI CIM.
Answer
IPv6 is the acronym for Internet Protocol Version 6.
IPv6 is the "next generation" IP protocol which will
replace the current IP Version 4 (IPv4) protocol.
IPv6 addresses a number of problems in IPv4, such
as the limited number of IPv4 addresses. It also
improves IPv4 in areas such as routing and network
auto-configuration. IPv6 is expected to gradually
replace IPv4, with the two coexisting for a number of
years.
IPv6 treats one of the largest headaches of an IP
network from the administrator's point of view –
configuring and maintaining an IP network.
