Remote Access
How many users can remotely access servers on each KX II?
The KX II models offer remote connections for up to eight users per user
channel to simultaneously access and control 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. Likewise, for the eight
channel devices, up to eight users can access a single server, up to an
overall maximum of 32 users across the 8 channels.
Can two people look at the same server at the same time?
Yes, 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 KX II from a client, what hardware, software
or network configuration is required?
Because the 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 and is required for access by
external modem.
The KX II can be accessed through major Web browsers, including:
Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox. Dominion KX II can now be
accessed on Windows, Linux and Macintosh desktops, via Raritan‟s new
Windows Client, and the Java-based Multiplatform and Virtual KVM
Clients.
KX II administrators can perform remote management functions, such as
set passwords and security, rename servers, change IP address and so
on, using a convenient browser-based interface.
What is the file size of the Virtual KVM Client applet that is used to
