Servers connected to the KX II do not require any software agents to be
installed, because the KX II connects directly via hardware to servers'
keyboard, video, and mouse ports.
How many servers can be connected to each the KX II device?
The KX II models range from 8, 16, or 32 server ports in a 1U chassis to
64 server ports in a 2U chassis. This is the industry's highest digital KVM
switch port density.
What happens if I disconnect a server from the KX II and reconnect it to
another KX II device, or connect it to a different port on the same KX II
device?
Dominion KX II will automatically update the server port names when
servers are moved from port to port. Furthermore, this automatic update
does not just affect the local access port, but propagates to all remote
clients and the optional CommandCenter Secure Gateway management
appliance.
How do I connect a serially controlled (RS-232) device to the KX II,
such as a Cisco router/switch or a headless Sun
™
server?
If there are only a few serially-controlled devices, they may be connected
to a KX II using Raritan's new P2CIM-SER serial converter.
However, if there are four or more serially-controlled devices, we
recommend the use of Raritan's KSX II line or SX line of secure console
servers. These devices are easy to use, configure and manage, and can
be completely integrated with a Dominion Series deployment. In
particular, many UNIX and networking administrators appreciate the
ability to directly SSH to a device.
