Question
Answer
What should I do on slower
bandwidth links?
The connection speed and color depth settings
can be tweaked to optimize performance for
slower bandwidth links.
For example, in the Multiplatform Client or the
Virtual KVM Client, set the connection speed to
1.5 Mb or 1 Mb; and the color depth to 8 bit.
Even lower connection speeds and color
depths can be used for very low bandwidth
situations.
For modem connections, the KX II will
automatically default to a very low connection
speed and reduced color depth to optimize
performance.
I want to connect over the Internet.
What type of performance should I
expect?
It depends on the bandwidth and latency of the
Internet connection between your remote client
and the KX II. With a cable modem or high
speed DSL connection, your performance can
be very similar to a LAN/WAN connection. For
lower speed links, use the suggestions above
to improve performance.
I have a high bandwidth
environment. How can I optimize
performance?
The default settings will provide strong
performance in a high bandwidth environment.
Ensure that the connection speed is set to 100
Mb or 1 Gb and the color depth is set to 15-bit
RGB color.
What is the maximum remote (over
IP) video resolution supported?
The Dominion KX II is the first and only
KVM-over-IP switch to support full high
definition (HD) remote video resolution –
1920x1080.
In addition, popular widescreen formats are
supported, including 1600x1200, 1680x1050
and 1440x900, so remote users can work with
today’s higher resolution monitors.
How much bandwidth is used for
audio?
It depends on the type of audio format used,
but to listen to CD quality audio, approximately
1.5 Mbps is used.
