Answer
® ?
Yes. Dominion KX II not only uses
standard Ethernet, but also very
conservative bandwidth with very high
quality video. Thus, if a wireless client has
network connectivity to a Dominion KX II,
servers can be configured and managed at
the BIOS level wirelessly.
Yes. Dominion KX II features dual gigabit
Ethernet ports to provide redundant failover
capabilities. Should the primary Ethernet
port (or the switch/router to which it is
connected) fail, Dominion KX II will failover
to the secondary network port with the
same IP address – ensuring that server
operations are not disrupted. Note that
automatic failover must be enabled by the
administrator.
Yes. Dominion KX II uses standard Internet
Protocol (IP) technologies from Layer 1
through Layer 4. Traffic can be easily
tunneled through standard VPNs.
Yes. KX II can be used with a SOCKS
proxy server, assuming the remote client
PC is configured appropriately. Contact the
user documentation or online help for more
information.
Two ports are required: TCP port 5000 to
discover other Dominion devices and for
communication between Raritan devices
and CC-SG; and, of course, port 443 for
HTTPS communication.
Yes. Dominion KX II's TCP ports are
configurable by the administrator.
Dominion KX II may work with remote
access products like Citrix if configured
appropriately, but Raritan cannot
guarantee it will work with acceptable
performance. Customers should realize
that products like Citrix utilize video
redirection technologies similar in concept
to digital KVM switches so that two KVM-
over-IP technologies are being used
simultaneously.
