Question
Answer
What is the speed of Dominion KX
II’s Ethernet interfaces?
Dominion KX II supports gigabit as well as
10/100 Ethernet. KX II supports two
10/100/1000 speed Ethernet interfaces, with
configurable speed and duplex settings (either
auto detected or manually set).
Can I access Dominion
KX II over a wireless connection?
Yes. Dominion KX II not only uses standard
Ethernet, but also very conservative
bandwidth with very high quality video. Thus,
if a wireless client has network connectivity to
a Dominion KX II, servers can be configured
and managed at the BIOS level wirelessly.
Does the Dominion KX II offer dual
gigabit Ethernet ports to provide
redundant failover or load
balancing?
Yes. Dominion KX II features dual gigabit
Ethernet ports to provide redundant failover
capabilities. Should the primary Ethernet port
(or the switch/router to which it is connected)
fail, Dominion KX II will failover to the
secondary network port with the same IP
address ensuring that server operations are
not disrupted. Note that automatic failover
must be enabled by the administrator.
Can I use Dominion KX II with a
VPN?
Yes. Dominion KX II uses standard Internet
Protocol (IP) technologies from Layer 1
through Layer 4. Traffic can be easily
tunneled through standard VPNs.
Can I use KX II with a proxy server?
Yes. KX II can be used with a SOCKS proxy
server, assuming the remote client PC is
configured appropriately. Contact the user
documentation or online help for more
information.
How many TCP ports must be open
on my firewall in order to enable
network access to Dominion KX II?
Two ports are required: TCP port 5000 to
discover other Dominion devices and for
communication between Raritan devices and
CC-SG; and, of course, port 443 for HTTPS
communication.
Are these ports configurable?
Yes. Dominion KX II’s TCP ports are
configurable by the administrator.
Can Dominion KX II be used with
Citrix
®
?
Dominion KX II may work with remote access
products like Citrix if configured appropriately,
but Raritan cannot guarantee it will work with
acceptable performance. Customers should
realize that products like Citrix utilize video
redirection technologies similar in concept to
digital KVM switches so that two KVM-over-IP
technologies are being used simultaneously.
