I. Prepare Devices and Network for Remote Operation
Congratulations on your purchase of Dominion KX, the industry's most fully featured digital KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switch.
Before connecting the Dominion KX, configure each device, which you intend to access via Dominion KX, with the following
parameters. This very important installation procedure ensures optimal performance and responsiveness when using the remote
server access capabilities of Dominion KX.
All Servers
A.
For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, set the OS desktop background to a predominantly solid, plain, light-
colored graphic.
B.
Ensure that the server's video resolution and refresh rate are supported by Dominion KX, and the signal is non-interlaced:

Network / Firewall
In order to enable remote access to Dominion KX, your network and firewall must allow communication on TCP Port 5000. Alternatively,
Dominion KX can also be configured to use a different TCP port of your own designation (see User Manual).
Optional: If you wish to access Dominion KX via web browser, your firewall must also allow access to TCP Port 443 (Standard HTTPS). You
may also wish to allow access to TCP Port 80 (Standard HTTP) for additional convenience; Dominion KX will forward all HTTP requests to
HTTPS, allowing end users to securely use either "http" or "https" as a URL.
