Page 78 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 79 Chapter 3: Working with Target Servers Additional Notes for Intelligent Mouse Mode    Synchronize Mouse In dual mouse mode, the Synchronize Mouse command forces realignment of the target server mouse pointer with Virtual KVM Client mouse pointer.  Note: This option is available only in Standard and Intelligent mouse modes.
Page 80 Intelligent Mouse Mode In Intelligent Mouse mode, the device can detect the target mouse settings and synchronize the mouse cursors accordingly, allowing mouse acceleration on the target. Intelligent mouse mode is the default for non-VM targets. In this mode, the mouse cursor does a “dance” in the top left corner of the screen and calculates the acceleration.
Page 81 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.

Overview Virtual media extends KVM capabilities by enabling KVM target servers to remotely access media from a client PC and network file servers. With this feature, media mounted on a client PC and network file servers is essentially "mounted virtually" by the target server. The target server can then read from and write to that media as if it were physically connected to the target server itself.

Page 120: User Group List
User Group List User groups are used with local and remote authentication (via RADIUS or LDAP/LDAPS). It is a good idea to define user groups before creating individual users since, when you add a user, you must assign that user to an existing user group.

Page 131: 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.
Page 132: Implementing Ldap/Ldaps Remote Authentication
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.

Page 312: General Questions
What is the KX II? The KX II is a second generation digital KVM (keyboard/video/ mouse) switch that enables one, two, four or eight IT administrators to access and control 8, 16, 32 or 64 servers over the network with BIOS-level functionality.
Page 313 Will my existing KX I CIMs work with the KX II switches? Yes, existing KX I CIMs will work with the KX II switch. In addition, select Paragon CIMs will work with the KX II. This provides an easy migration to the KX II from Paragon I customers who wish to switch to KVM-over-IP.
Page 314: Remote Access
Appendix D: FAQs Remote Access How many users can remotely access servers on each KX II? The KX II models offer remote connections for up to eight users per user channel to simultaneously access and control a unique target server. For one-channel devices like the DKX2-116, up to eight remote users can access and control a single target server.
Page 315 Appendix D: FAQs 100Mbps Theoretical 60Mbps 10Mbps 6Mbps 512Kbps Cable modem How do I access servers connected to the KX II if the network ever becomes unavailable? You can access servers at-the-rack or via modem. The KX II offers a dedicated modem port for attaching an external modem.
Page 316: Universal Virtual Media
Appendix D: FAQs Universal Virtual Media What KX II models support virtual media? All of the KX II models support virtual media. It is available standalone and through Raritan's CommandCenter Secure Gateway, Raritan's centralized management unit. What types of virtual media does the KX II support? The KX II supports the following types of media: internal and USB-connected CD/DVD drives, USB mass storage devices, PC hard drives, and ISO images.
Page 317: Usb Profiles
Appendix D: FAQs USB Profiles What is a USB profile? Certain servers require a specifically configured USB interface for USB based services such as virtual media. The USB Profile tailors the KX II‟s USB interface to the server to accommodate these server specific characteristics.
Page 318 Appendix D: FAQs Do I need a special CIM to use USB profiles? You must use a D2CIM-VUSB or D2CIM-DVUSB with updated firmware. Will Raritan provide USB profiles for other target server configurations? Raritan will provide new USB profiles to suit customer needs. As these profiles become available, they will be included in firmware upgrades.
Page 319: Bandwidth And Kvm-Over-Ip Performance
Appendix D: FAQs Bandwidth and KVM-over-IP Performance How is bandwidth used in KVM-over-IP systems? The KX II offers next generation KVM-over-IP technology – the very best video compression available. Raritan has received numerous technical awards confirming its high video quality transmissions and the low bandwidth utilization.
Page 320 Unlike KX I, the Noise Filter parameter does not generally have a large role in reducing bandwidth or improving performance. How much bandwidth does KX II use for common tasks? Bandwidth primarily depends on the user's task and actions. The more the server's video screen changes, the more bandwidth is utilized.
Page 321 Appendix D: FAQs QuickTime video #2 With the reduced bandwidth settings, bandwidth is reduced significantly for virtually all tasks. With the 15 bit color setting, perceived performance is similar to the default parameters. Further, bandwidth reductions are possible with additional changes in the settings. 1500 - 2500 400 - 550 KB/s...
Page 322 Please note that these bandwidth figures are only examples and may vary from those seen in your environment due to many factors. How can I reduce bandwidth? The KX II provides a variety of settings in our remote clients to optimize bandwidth and performance.
Page 323 RGB Color. What is the maximum remote (over IP) video resolution supported? The KX II is the first and only KVM-over-IP switch to support full High Definition (HD) remote video resolution – 1920x1080.
Page 324: Ethernet And Ip Networking
Yes. The 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, the KX II will failover to the secondary network port with the same IP address, ensuring that server operations are not disrupted.
Page 325 Appendix D: FAQs How many TCP ports must be open on my firewall in order to enable network access to the KX II? Are these ports configurable? Only one. The KX II protects network security by only requiring access to a single TCP port to operate.
Page 326: Ipv6 Networking
Appendix D: FAQs IPv6 Networking What is IPv6? 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.
Page 327 Appendix D: FAQs Where can I get more information on IPv6? See www.ipv6.org for general information on IPv6. The KX II User Guide describes the KX II‟s support for IPv6.
Page 328: Servers
Appendix D: FAQs Servers Does the KX II depend on a Windows server to operate? Absolutely not. Because users depend on the KVM infrastructure to always be available in any scenario whatsoever (as they will likely need to use the KVM infrastructure to fix problems), the KX II is designed to be completely independent from any external server.
Page 329: Blade Servers
Some blade servers require you to use hotkeys to switch between blades. With the KX II, you don't have to use these hotkeys. Just click on the name of the blade server and the KX II will automatically switch to that blade without the explicit use of the hotkey.
Page 330 Appendix D: FAQs For KX II's, Raritan recommends connecting up to two times the number of remote connections supported by the device. For example, with a KX2-216 with two remote channels, we recommend connecting up to 4 blade server chassis. You can of course connect individual servers to the remaining server ports.
Page 331: Installation
Some operating systems lock up when I disconnect a keyboard or mouse during operation. What prevents servers connected to the KX II from locking up when I switch away from them? Each Dominion computer interface module (DCIM) dongle acts as a virtual keyboard and mouse to the server to which it is connected.
Page 332 How do I connect a serially controlled (RS-232) device to the KX II, ™ such as a Cisco router/switch or a headless Sun server? If there are only a few serially-controlled devices, they may be connected to a KX II using Raritan's new P2CIM-SER serial converter.
Page 333: Local Port
Appendix D: FAQs Local Port Can I access my servers directly from the rack? Yes. At the rack, the KX II functions just like a traditional KVM switch, allowing control of up to 64 servers using a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
Page 334  If the external authentication servers are unavailable, the KX II fails-over to its own internal authentication database. The KX II has its own standalone authentication, enabling instant, out-of-the-box installation. If I use the local port to change the name of a connected server, does this change propagate to remote access clients as well? Does it propagate to the optional CommandCenter unit? Yes.
Page 335: Extended Local Port (Dominion Kx2-832 And Kx2-864 Models Only)
Paragon II EUST, Paragon II UST, and the Cat5 Reach URKVMG device. In addition, the extended local port can be connected via Cat5 cable to a server port on a Paragon II switch. This configuration can be used to consolidate the local ports of many KX2-8xxx devices to a single switch.
Page 336: Power Control
All of the KX II models come equipped with dual AC inputs and power supplies with automatic fail-over. Should one of the power inputs or power supplies fail, then the KX II will automatically switch to the other. Does the power supply used by the KX II automatically detect voltage settings? Yes.
Page 337 Appendix D: FAQs Does remote power control require any special server configuration? Some servers ship with default BIOS settings such that the server does not automatically restart after losing and regaining power. For these servers, see the server‟s documentation to change this setting. What happens when I recycle power to a server? This is the physical equivalent of unplugging the server from the AC power line, and reinserting the plug.
Page 338: Scalability
The D2CIM-DVUSB CIM must be used to connect the "tiered" KX II switch to the "base" switch. Or for the KX2-832 and KX2-864, the extended local port can be connected via CAT5/6 cable (no CIM required) to the base KX II switch.
Page 339 KX II web-based user interface and from the Multiplatform Client (MPC). Can I connect an existing analog KVM switch to the KX II? Yes. Analog KVM switches can be connected to one of the KX II's server ports. Simply use a D2CIM-DVUSB or D2CIM-VUSB and attach it to the user ports of the existing analog KVM switch.
Page 340: Computer Interface Modules (Cims)
P2CIM-AUSBDUAL), which can connect servers in the data center to two different KX II switches. If one KX II switch is not available, the server can be accessed through the second KX II switch, providing redundant access and doubling the level of remote KVM access.
Page 341: Security
Appendix D: FAQs Security Is the Dominion KX II FIPS 140-2 Certified? The KX II 2.2.0 and later, and the KSX II 2.3.0 and later, provides users with the option to use an embedded FIPS 140-2-validated cryptographic module running on a Linux platform per FIPS 140-2 implementation guidelines.
Page 342 Appendix D: FAQs Yes, the KX II has administrator-configurable, strong password checking to ensure that user-created passwords meet corporate and/or government standards and are resistant to brute force hacking. If the KX II encryption mode is set to Auto, what level of encryption is achieved? The encryption level that is autonegotiated is dependent on the browser in use.
Page 343: Smart Cards And Cac Authentication
Appendix D: FAQs Smart Cards and CAC Authentication Does the KX II support smart card and CAC authentication? Yes, smart cards and DoD Common Access Card (CAC) authentication to target servers is supported in release KX II 2.1.10 and later, and KSX II 2.3.0 and later.
Page 344: Manageability
Appendix D: FAQs Manageability Can the KX II be remotely managed and configured via web browser? Yes, the KX II can be completely configured remotely via web browser. Note that this does require that the workstation have an appropriate Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version installed.
Page 345: Miscellaneous
Appendix D: FAQs Miscellaneous What is the KX II's default IP address? 192.168.0.192 What is the KX II's default user name and password? The KX II's default user name is admin and the default password is raritan [all lower case]. However, for the highest level of security, the KX II forces the administrator to change the KX II default administrative user name and password when the unit is first booted up.
