Serial Access
My Dominion KSX II has just been configured with a network
address and I can successfully ping the IP, but when I try to access
it using a web browser, the message reads "Page cannot be found
or server error, contact System Administrator."
Check your web browser settings and confirm that a proxy server is
being used. If so, click the "Bypass local addresses or configure KSX IP
in the exception list" checkbox. Next, make sure the web browser has
128-bit cipher strength. From the Help menu, click About to find this
information.
When I select the "Send Break" option from the Emulator menu in
Raritan Console (on my KSX II), it does not send a break to my Sun
server. What could be wrong and how can I address it?
If the SUN machine does not respond to the break signal, verify that the
line 'KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable' is commented out in the
/etc/default/kbd file (on the Sun machine). If this line is not commented
out, it will disable a keyboard abort sequence; comment out this line to
enable the sequence.
How can I consolidate the sites where I have a Dominion KSX II
installed?
Raritan's CommandCenter is designed specifically to provide centralized
management. It is the ideal solution if you are looking to consolidate
management of devices such as Dominion KSX II and other Raritan
network-based products.
Is the Ethernet port on the KSX II device 10/100/1000 Mbps auto
sensing?
The KSX II supports two 10/100/1000 speed Ethernet interfaces, with
configurable speed and duplex settings (either auto-detected or manually
set).
Does Dominion KSX II support RS422 and RS485?
No. Currently Dominion KSX II supports only asynchronous RS232 (also
commonly called serial, even though serial is a broad term that covers
more than RS232). RS 422 and RS485 are used in industrial automation
and other markets. Dominion KSX II is currently designed for connection
to serially managed servers and other devices typically found in the
data-center and server rooms. This includes serially controlled power
strips like Raritan's line of remote power control devices.
I have a server/serially managed device that is more than 300 feet
from the KSX II - how do I connect?
