Encryption mode Description
Auto This is the recommended option. The
Dominion KX II autonegotiates to the highest
level of encryption possible.
RC4 Secures user names, passwords and KVM
data, including video transmissions using the
RSA RC4 encryption method. This is a
128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol
that provides a private communications
channel between the Dominion KX II device
and the Remote PC during initial connection
authentication.
AES-128 The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is
a National Institute of Standards and
Technology specification for the encryption of
electronic data. 128 is the key length. When
AES-128 is specified, be certain that your
browser supports it, otherwise you will not be
able to connect. See Checking Your
Browser for AES Encryption (on page 185)
for more information.
AES-256 The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is
a National Institute of Standards and
Technology specification for the encryption of
electronic data. 256 is the key length. When
AES-256 is specified, be certain that your
browser supports it, otherwise you will not be
able to connect. See Checking Your
Browser for AES Encryption (on page 185)
for more information.
Note: MPC will always negotiate to the highest encryption and will
match the Encryption Mode setting if not set to Auto.
Note: If you are running Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Internet
Explorer 7 cannot connect remotely to the Dominion KX II using
AES-128 encryption.
2. Apply Encryption Mode to KVM and Virtual Media. When selected,
this option applies the selected encryption mode to both KVM and
virtual media. After authentication, KVM and virtual media data is
also transferred with 128-bit encryption.
3. PC Share Mode. Determines global concurrent remote KVM access,
enabling up to eight remote users to simultaneously log into one
Dominion KX II and concurrently view and control the same target
server through the device. Click the drop-down list to select one of
the following options:
