Scalability
How do I connect multiple KSX II devices together into one
solution?
Multiple KSX II devices do not need to be physically connected together.
Instead, each KSX II device connects to the network. They automatically
work together as a single solution if deployed with Raritan's optional
CommandCenter Secure Gateway (CC-SG) management unit. CC-SG
acts as a single access point for remote access and management.
CC-SG offers a significant set of convenient tools, such as consolidated
configuration, consolidated firmware update, and a single authentication
and authorization database.
In addition, CC-SG enables sophisticated server sorting, permissions,
and access. If deployment of Raritan's CC-SG management unit isn't an
option, multiple KSX II devices still interoperate and scale automatically.
The KSX II's remote user interface and the Multi-Platform Client will
automatically discover KSX II devices. Non-discovered KSX II devices
can be accessed via a user-created profile.
Can I connect an existing analog KVM switch to the KSX II?
Yes. Analog KVM switches can be connected to one of the KSX II's
server ports. Simply use a D2CIM-DVUSB or D2CIM-VUSB and attach it
to the user ports of the existing analog KVM switch. Please Note that
analog KVM switches vary in their specifications and Raritan cannot
guarantee the interoperability of any particular third-party analog KVM
switch. Contact Raritan technical support for further information.
