Overview
The KSX II provides at-the-rack access and administration via its local
port, which features a browser-based graphical user interface for quick,
convenient switching between servers. The KSX II Local Console
provides a direct analog connection to your connected servers; the
performance is as if you were directly connected to the server's
keyboard, mouse, and video ports. The KSX II Local Console provides
the same administrative functionality as the KSX II Remote Console.
Using the KSX II Local Console
Simultaneous Users
The KSX II Local Console provides an independent access path to the
connected KVM target servers. For serial connections, the access path is
shared. Using the Local Console does not prevent other users from
simultaneously connecting over the network. And even when remote
users are connected to KSX II, you can still simultaneously access your
servers from the rack via the Local Console.
