Overview
The KX II provides at-the-rack access and administration via its local
port, which features a browser-based graphical user interface for quick,
convenient switching between servers. The KX II Local Console provides
a direct analog connection to your connected servers, which provides the
same performance is as if you were directly connected to the server's
keyboard, mouse, and video ports. The KX II Local Console provides the
same administrative functionality as the KX II Remote Console.
Using the KX II Local Console
Simultaneous Users
The KX II Local Console provides an independent access path to the
connected KVM target servers. Using the Local Console does not
prevent other users from simultaneously connecting over the network.
And even when remote users are connected to the KX II, you can still
simultaneously access your servers from the rack via the Local Console.
