Like the rest of the Dominion series, Dominion KX II features
complete CommandCenter Secure Gateway integration, allowing

single management interface.
With CommandCenter Release 5.2, customers can now access
servers connected to the Dominion KX II via the iPhone and iPad.

SNMP TRAPs for these events to SNMP management system(s).
SNMP TRAPs are fully configurable by the administrator. Syslog
logging is also available.

Dominion KX II firmware upgrades can be downloaded directly from
the Raritan website and upgrades can be performed via the
network.
D2CIM Firmware Upgrades
The Dominion KX II D2CIMs can be firmware upgraded from the
Dominion KX II appliance to support new features and
improvements. This includes the Dominion KX II USB CIMs
supporting virtual media, smart cards/CAC, digital audio and
Absolute Mouse Synchronization; and the Dominion KX II Power
CIM.
Dominion KX I Compatibility
Customers who have purchased Raritan’s first-generation Dominion
KX I switches can continue to use these switches together with the
Dominion KX II. Both CommandCenter Secure Gateway and
