If the external authentication servers are unavailable, the KX II
fails-over to its own internal authentication database.
The KX II has its own standalone authentication, enabling instant,
out-of-the-box installation.
If I use the local port to change the name of a connected server,
does this change propagate to remote access clients as well? Does
it propagate to the optional CommandCenter unit?
Yes. The local port presentation is identical and completely in sync with
remote access clients, as well as Raritan's optional CommandCenter
Secure Gateway management device. To be clear, if the name of a
server via the KX II onscreen display is changed, this updates all remote
clients and external management servers in real-time.
If I use the KX II's remote administration tools to change the name
of a connected server, does that change propagate to the local port
GUI as well?
Yes. If the name of a server is changed remotely, or via Raritan's
optional CommandCenter Secure Gateway management unit, this
update immediately affects the KX II's onscreen display.
Sometimes I see "shadows" on the local port user interface. Why
does that occur?
This shadow/ghosting effect may occur with LCD monitors that have
been on for long periods. The LCD properties and the electrical/static
charge can produce these effects when the screen is on for a long time.
