Go to the Raritan website (www.raritan.com) Support page to find the
latest information about the KSX II serial pinouts (RJ-45).
The Dominion KSX II uses the web browser to access serial
devices. What are the advantages of Java-enabled web browser
access?
For many Solaris/Unix/Linux system administrators, the de facto
standard for accessing serial hosts is SSH. However, the SSH clients
available for Unix/Linux do not support Apple Macintosh. Additionally,
Java-enabled browsers are available on many platforms, including PDAs
and handheld PCs. The easy "point-and-click" access offered by
Dominion KSX II allows administrators secure access from any
Java-enabled web browser.
