Servers
Does the KSX II depend on a Windows
®
server to operate?
No. The KSX II is completely independent. Even if a user chooses to
configure the KSX II to authenticate against an Active Directory server - if
that Active Directory server becomes unavailable, the KSX II's own
authentication will be activated and fully functional.
Do I need to install a web server such as Microsoft
®
Internet
Information Services (IIS) in order to use the KSX II's web browser
capability?
No. The KSX II is a completely self-sufficient device. After assigning an
IP address to the KSX II, it's ready to use since it comes with web
browser and authentication capabilities completely built-in.
What software do I have to install in order to access the KSX II from
a particular workstation?
None. The KSX II can be accessed completely via a web browser.
However, there is an optional installed client provided on Raritan's
website (www.raritan.com), which is required for modem connections. A
Java-based client is now available for non-Windows users.
