56 DOMINION KX USER MANUAL
QUESTION ANSWER
Can I use Dominion KX
with a VPN?
Yes. Dominion KX uses standard Internet technologies from Layer 1
through Layer 4. Traffic can be easily tunneled through any standard
VPN.
How many TCP ports must
be open on my firewall in
order to enable network
access to Dominion KX?
Are these ports
configurable?
Only one. Dominion KX protects your network security by only requiring
access to a single TCP port to operate. This port is completely
configurable for additional security.
Note that, of course, to utilize Dominion KX’s optional Web browser
capability, the standard HTTPS port 443 must also be open.
Does the secondary
network port provide
redundant fail-over, or load
balancing?
Currently the secondary network port provides redundant fail-over
capabilities: should the primary Ethernet port (or the switch/router to
which it is connected) fail, Dominion KX will fail-over to the secondary
network port with the same IP address – ensuring that your server
operations are not disrupted.
Can Dominion KX
be rack mounted?
Yes, Dominion KX ships standard with 19” rack mount brackets. It can
also be reverse rack mounted such that the server ports face forward.
How large is Dominion
KX?
Dominion KX is only 1U in height, fits in a standard 19” rack mount, and
occupies only 11.4” (29 cm) in depth
Does Dominion KX
require an external
authentication server to
operate?
No. Dominion KX is a completely self-sufficient appliance. After
assigning an IP address to Dominion KX, it is ready to use – with web
browser and authentication capabilities completely built-in.
Of course, should you desire to use an external authentication server (such
as LDAP, Active Directory, RADIUS, etc.), Dominion KX allows you to,
and will even fail-over to its own internal authentication should your
external authentication server become unavailable. In this way, Dominion
KX’s design philosophy is optimized to provide ease of installation,
complete independence from any external server, and maximum
flexibility.
