You will need to purchase a 3rd party RS232 to RS422/485 converter for
each end (two units total) - one at the Dominion end and one connected
to the device.
Can I open multiple windows and "tile" to monitor multiple servers
and other IT equipment?
Yes, you may monitor and "tile" as many windows as there are serial
ports on the Dominion KSX II.
I manage many servers. How do I select a server to connect to?
From a browser, a simple menu provides the user-assigned name of
each server. Users simply click a server to open a pop-up menu and
select Connect from the menu in order to connect to its console port.
When using SSH/telnet, the user gets a list of ports they are authorized
to connect with when they log on.
As a user, do I see all servers connected to a Dominion KSX II?
No. Each user sees only a list of servers they are authorized to
manage/view. The administrator of the Dominion KSX II sets up the
access privileges to each server.
Does Dominion KSX II work with Raritan's CommandCenter™?
Yes, Dominion KSX II is deployable as part of an enterprise-wide
management solution with Raritan's CommandCenter™. Hundreds of
Dominion KSX II units can be managed via CommandCenter.
Is the modem used only for administering the Dominion KSX II
itself?
No. Unlike other products in its category, Dominion KSX II offers modem
access to administer the box AND get to the target servers.
Is a modem standard on any Dominion KSX II models?
Yes, a built-in modem is standard on KSX II models.
What level of control does Dominion KSX II have over attached
target servers?
The remote user has direct command line access and total control of
target devices for maintenance, administration, troubleshooting, and
even rebooting. User rights are only restricted by their log-in privileges
on Dominion KSX II and the server itself.
Why do I need to use a serial adapter to connect to some servers?
While EIA published a standard for RS232 on DB25 and DB9
connectors, there is no standard for RS232 on RJ45. Also, some
manufacturers have chosen not to follow the pin out assignments of the
EIA on DB25 and DB9 connectors.
Is the Dominion KSX II device SUN
