Step 1: Configure Target Servers
Target servers are the computers that will be accessed and controlled via the Dominion KX II.
Before installing Dominion KX II, configure all target servers to ensure optimum performance.
This configuration applies only to target servers, not to the client workstations (remote PCs) used
to access Dominion KX II remotely. Refer to Chapter 1: Introduction, Terminology
for additional
information.
To configure the target servers:
• Check the video resolution.
• Check the desktop background.
• Adjust the mouse settings.
• Perform OS-specific mouse and video configuration.
Video Resolution
Ensure that each target server’s video resolution and refresh rate are supported by Dominion KX
II and that the signal is non-interlaced.
Supported Video Resolutions
Video resolution and ca
ble length are important factors in the ability to obtain mouse
synchronization. Refer to Target Server Connection Distance and Video Resolution
for more
information. Dominion KX II supports these resolutions:
