KX II Local Console Interface
When you are located at the server rack, the KX II provides standard
KVM management and administration via the KX II Local Console. The
KX II Local Console provides a direct KVM (analog) connection to your
connected servers; the performance is exactly as if you were directly
connected to the server's keyboard, mouse, and video ports.
Additionally, the KX II provides terminal emulation when accessing serial
targets.
There are many similarities among the KX II Local Console and the KX II
Remote Console graphical user interfaces. Where there are differences,
they are noted in the help.
The KX II Local Console Factory Reset option is available in the KX II
Local Console but not the KX II Remote Console.
KX II Remote Console Interface
The KX II Remote Console is a browser-based graphical user interface
that allows you to log in to KVM target servers and serial targets
connected to the KX II and to remotely administer the KX II.
The KX II Remote Console provides a digital connection to your
connected KVM target servers. When you log into a KVM target server
using the KX II Remote Console, a Virtual KVM Client window opens.
There are many similarities among the KX II Local Console and the KX II
Remote Console graphical user interfaces, and where there are
differences, they are noted in the user manual. The following options are
available in the KX II Remote Console but not the KX II Local Console:
Virtual Media
