Passwords are case sensitive and must be entered in the exact case combination in which they were created. For example, the default password raritan must be entered entirely in lowercase letters. The first time you start the KX II, you are required to change the default password.
Page 24: Getting Started
Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration Default Value Important: For backup and business continuity purposes, it is strongly recommended that you create a backup administrator user name and password and keep that information in a secure location. Getting Started Step 1: Configure KVM Target Servers KVM target servers are the computers that are accessed and controlled via the KX II.
Page 25 Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration Mouse Settings  ™ The KX II operates in Absolute Mouse Mode , Intelligent Mouse Mode and Standard Mouse Mode. Mouse parameters do not have to be altered for Absolute Mouse Synchronization but a D2CIM-VUSB or D2CIM-DVUSB is required. For both the Standard and Intelligent Mouse Modes, mouse parameters must be set to specific values.

Page 29 Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration Note: For KVM target servers running Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2008, you may wish to create a user name that will be used only for remote connections through the KX II. This will enable you to keep the target server's slow mouse pointer motion/acceleration settings exclusive to the KX II connection.
Page 30 Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration Note: Once connected to the target server, in many Linux graphical environments, the <Ctrl> <Alt> <+> command will change the video resolution, scrolling through all available resolutions that remain enabled in the XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf, depending on your X server distribution.

Chapter 3: Working with Target Servers Changing the Maximum Refresh Rate If the video card you are using on the target uses custom software and you are accessing the target through MPC or VKC, you may need to change the maximum refresh rate of the monitor in order for the refresh rate to take effect on the target.
Page 84 Chapter 3: Working with Target Servers Mouse Pointer Synchronization When remotely viewing a target server that uses a mouse, two mouse cursors are displayed: one belonging to your remote client workstation and the other belonging to the target server. When the mouse pointer lies within the Virtual KVM Client target server window, mouse movements and clicks are directly transmitted to the connected target server.
Page 85 Chapter 3: Working with Target Servers Additional Notes for Intelligent Mouse Mode  Be sure that there are no icons or applications in the upper left section of the screen since that is where the synchronization routine takes place.  Do not use an animated mouse.
Page 86 To be sure to avoid any problems with this function, Raritan recommends you do not have file icons or folder icons in the upper left corner of your desktop.
Page 87 Chapter 3: Working with Target Servers Please note that mouse configurations will vary on different target operating systems. Consult your OS guidelines for further details. Also note that intelligent mouse synchronization does not work with UNIX targets. Absolute Mouse Mode In this mode, absolute coordinates are used to keep the client and target cursors in sync, even when the target mouse is set to a different acceleration or speed.

Page 140: Authentication Settings
Chapter 7: User Management Authentication Settings Authentication is the process of verifying that a user is who he says he is. Once a user is authenticated, the user's group is used to determine his system and port permissions. The user's assigned privileges determine what type of access is allowed.

Chapter 7: User Management Implementing LDAP/LDAPS Remote Authentication Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP/LDAPS) is a networking protocol for querying and modifying directory services running over TCP/IP. A client starts an LDAP session by connecting to an LDAP/LDAPS server (the default TCP port is 389). The client then sends operation requests to the server, and the server sends responses in turn.
