Question
What should I do on
slower bandwidth links?
I want to connect over
the Internet. What type
of performance should I
expect?
I have a high bandwidth
environment. How can I
optimize performance?
What is the maximum
remote (over IP) video
resolution supported?
How much bandwidth is
used for audio?
What about servers with
DVI ports?
Ethernet and IP Networking
What is the speed of Dominion KX II's Ethernet
interfaces?
Answer
The connection speed and color depth settings can be tweaked to
optimize performance for slower bandwidth links.
For example, in the Multiplatform Client or the Virtual KVM Client, set the
connection speed to 1.5 Mb or 1 Mb; and the color depth to 8 bit.
Even lower connection speeds and color depths can be used for very
low bandwidth situations.
For modem connections, the KX II will automatically default to a very low
connection speed and reduced color depth to optimize performance.
It depends on the bandwidth and latency of the Internet connection
between your remote client and the KX II. With a cable modem or high
speed DSL connection, your performance can be very similar to a
LAN/WAN connection. For lower speed links, use the suggestions above
to improve performance.
The default settings will provide strong performance in a high bandwidth
environment.
Ensure that the connection speed is set to 100 Mb or 1 Gb and the color
depth is set to 15-bit RGB color.
The Dominion KX II is the first and only KVM-over-IP switch to support
full high definition (HD) remote video resolution – 1920x1080.
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 II CIM's VGA plug.
Servers with DVI ports that only support DVI-D (digital) would need a
more expensive adapter, but customers should check to see if the
server's video card can be configured to support DVI-I or DVI-A.
Appendix E: Frequently Asked Questions
Dominion KX II supports gigabit as well as
10/100 Ethernet. KX II supports two
10/100/1000 speed Ethernet interfaces,
with configurable speed and duplex
settings (either auto detected or manually
set).
