Remote Access

How many users can remotely access servers on each Dominion
KX II?
The Dominion KX II models offer remote connections for up to eight
users per channel for simultaneous access and control of 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. For two-channel
devices, like the DKX2-216, up to eight users can access and control the
server on channel one and up to another eight users on channel two. For
four-channel devices, up to eight users per channel, for a total of 32 (8 x
4) users, can access and control four servers in a similar fashion.
Can two people look at the same server at the same time?
Yes, actually up to eight people can access and control any single server
at the same time.
Can two people access the same server, one remotely and one from
the local port?
Yes, the local port is completely independent of the remote "ports." The
local port can access the same server using the PC-Share feature.
In order to access the Dominion KX II from a client, what hardware,
software or network configuration is required?
Because the Dominion KX II is completely web-accessible, it doesn't
require installation of proprietary software on clients used for access. An
optional installed client is available on Raritan.com. This is required for
access by external modem.
The Dominion KX II can be accessed through major web browsers
including Internet Explorer, Mozilla, and Firefox. The Dominion KX II can
now be accessed on Windows, Linux, Sun Solaris and Macintosh
desktops, via Raritan's Java-based Multi-Platform Client (MPC) and the
new Virtual KVM Client.
The Dominion KX II administrators can also perform remote
management (set passwords and security, rename servers, change IP
address, and so forth.) using a convenient browser-based interface.
How do I access servers connected to the Dominion KX II if the
network ever becomes unavailable?
The Dominion KX II offers a dedicated modem port for attaching an
external modem, so you can access your servers via modem if the
network is unavailable.
What is the file size of the Virtual KVM Client applet that is used to
access the Dominion KX II? How long does it take to retrieve?
