How do I access servers connected to the KSX II if the network ever
becomes unavailable?
The KSX II offers an internal modem port. With this modem servers can
still be remotely accessed in the event of a network emergency.
Furthermore, the KSX II's local ports always allow access to servers from
the rack, regardless of the network condition.
Do you have a non-Windows
®
client?
Yes. The Virtual KVM Client, Raritan Serial Console (RSC) and the
Multi-Platform Client (MPC) allow non-Windows users to connect to KVM
target servers through the KSX II switches. MPC can be run via web
browsers and standalone.
Sometimes during a Virtual KVM Client session, the Alt key appears
to get stuck. What should I do?
This usually occurs in situations when the Alt key is held and not
released. For instance, continuing to press the Alt key while pressing the
space bar might cause the focus to change from the target server to the
client PC. The local operating system then interprets this key
combination and consequently triggers the action for this key
combination in the active window (the client PC).
