Question
Answer
Can the Dominion KX II use DHCP?
DHCP addressing can be used; however,
Raritan recommends fixed addressing since
the Dominion KX II is an infrastructure device
and can be accessed and administered more
effectively with a fixed IP address.
I’m having problems connecting to
the Dominion KX II over my IP
network. What could be the
problem?
The Dominion KX II relies on your LAN/WAN
network. Some possible problems include:
Ethernet auto-negotiation. On some networks,
10/100 auto-negotiation does not work
properly, and the Dominion KX II unit must be
set to 100 Mb/full duplex or the appropriate
choice for its network.
Duplicate IP address. If the IP address of the
Dominion KX II
is the same as another device, network
connectivity may be inconsistent.
Port 5000 conflicts. If another device is using
port 5000, the Dominion KX II default port
must be changed (or the other device must be
changed).
When changing the IP address of a Dominion
KX II, or swapping in a new Dominion KX II,
sufficient time must be allowed for its IP and
Mac
®
addresses to be known throughout the
Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks.
