Configuring Kvm Switches - Raritan Dominion KX II User Manual

Configuring KVM Switches

The KX II also supports use of hot key sequences to switch between
targets. In addition to using hot key sequences with standard servers,
KVM switching is supported by blade chassis and in tiered
configurations.
Important: In order for user groups to see the KVM switch that you
create, you must first create the switch and then create the group. If
an existing user group needs to see the KVM switch you are creating,
you must recreate the user group.
To configure KVM switches:
1. Choose Device Settings > Port Configuration. The Port Configuration
page opens.
2. Click the Port Name of the target server you want to rename. The
Port Page opens.
3. Select KVM Switch.
4. Select the KVM Switch Model.
Note: Only one switch will appear in the drop-down.
5. Select KVM Switch Hot Key Sequence.
6. Enter the Maximum Number of Target Ports (2-32).
7. In the KVM Switch Name field, enter the name you want to use to
refer to this port connection.
8. Activate the targets that the KVM switch hot key sequence will be
applied to. Indicate the KVM switch ports have targets attached by
selecting 'Active' for each of the ports.
9. In the KVM Managed Links section of the page, you are able to
configure the connection to a web browser interface if one is
available.
a. Active - To activate the link once it is configured, select the
Active checkbox. Leave the checkbox deselected to keep the
link inactive. Entering information into the link fields and saving
can still be done even if Active is not selected. Once Active is
selected, the URL field is required. The username, password,
username field and password field are optional depending on
whether single sign-on is desired or not.
b. URL Name - Enter the URL to the interface.
c. Username - Enter the username used to access the interface.
d. Password - Enter the password used to access the interface.
