62 DOMINION KX USER GUIDE
If your Dominion KX has been configured for external authentication services (LDAP, Active
Directory, or RADIUS), authentication attempts at the Local Console Port also are authenticated
against the external authentication service.
Local Factory and Password Reset
If you forget the administrator password, there is currently no way to reset it to factory default to
gain access. However, you can hard-reset a Dominion KX unit with this special user name and
password, as described below.
• Type the username admin and the password R*E*S*E*T. This password is case-sensitive.
• This username and password work only from your local access port. When working remotely,
only the actual password assigned to admin will gain access.
• When this sequence is recognized, the device will not
allow access as usual, but will perform
the specified reset action (Local Device Reset mode) as specified in the KX Manager
Security Settings panel.
If Enable Local Factory Reset is performed, reset the network and other parameters
from the OSD and then reboot the Dominion KX unit.
Note: Passwords can consist of twenty (20) alphanumeric characters on the English keyboard, as
well as the following symbols: !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~
Selecting Servers
Allowable Characters
The following characters are permitted in DCIM Channel Names:
Letters: Upper and lowercase a – z, A – Z
Numbers: 0 – 9
Special characters:
Minus (‘-’)
plus (‘+’),
slash (‘/’),
period (‘.’)
space (‘ ‘)
Only these characters should be entered in the OSD due to hardware limitations in the OSD and
CIMs. If other characters are entered, they will be blocked or changed to other valid characters.
For example, underscore (‘_’) should not be used. If it is entered, it will be changed by the OSD
to the letter M.
Accessing the OSD
To select a server for controlling at the Local Console Port, access the OSD:
• If you are presently logged out of the Local Console Port: Type a valid username and
password, and the OSD appears.
• If a server is presently already selected: Press the OSD “Hot Key” Scroll Lock twice
rapidly to access the OSD.
Important: The Local Console Port OSD Hotkey is Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock (this
combination can be changed via the OSD). Keep in mind that certain hotkeys
are reserved by the operating system, and you must not assign them to DKX
functions.
