KX2-832 and KX2-864 Standard and Extended Local Port Settings
The KX2-832 and KX2-864 provides you with two local port options: the
Standard Local port and the Extended Local port. Each of these port
options is enabled and disabled from the Remote Console on the Port
Configuration page or from the Local Console on the Local Port Settings
page (see Configuring Dominion KX II Local Port Settings (on page
169)).
By default, th
e Standard L
ocal port is enabled and the Extended Local
port is disabled. If you would like to extend the reach of the local port,
enable the Extended Local port and use a Cat5/5e/6 cable to connect to
the DKX2-832 or DKX2-864 from a Paragon II UMT, EUST, UST or
URKVMG.
You must have Administrator privileges to configure these options. To
access a port, you only need to enter your username and password
once. You do not have to enter these credentials for each port you
access.
See the Specifications (on page 234) section for details on the devices
sup
p
orted by the Extended Local port, as well as distance specifications
and supported CIMs.
