Raritan Computer KX2-432 Network Router User Manual


 
APPENDIX D: FAQS 165
QUESTION ANSWER
How do I connect a
serially controlled (RS-
232) device to Dominion
KX II, such as a Cisco
router/switch or a
headless Sun server?
If there are only a few serially-controlled devices, they may be
connected to a Dominion KX II using Raritan’s new P2CIM-SER serial
converter.
However, if there are four or more serially-controlled devices, we
recommend the use of Raritan’s Dominion SX line of secure console
servers. For multiple serial devices, Dominion SX offers more serial
functionality at a better price point than Dominion KX II. This SX is
easy to use, configure and manage, and can be completely integrated
with a Dominion Series deployment. In particular, many UNIX and
networking administrators appreciate the ability to directly SSH to a
Dominion SX unit.
