Remote Access
How many users can remotely access servers on each Dominion
KX II?
The Dominion KX II models offer remote connections for up to eight
users per user channel to simultaneously access and control a unique
target server. For one-channel devices like the DKX2-116, up to eight
remote users can access and control a single target server. For
two-channel devices, like the DKX2-216, up to eight users can access
and control the server on channel one and up to another eight users on
channel two. For four channel devices, up to eight users per channel, for
a total of 32 (8 x 4) users, can access and control four servers.
Likewise, for the eight channel devices, up to eight users can access a
single server, up to an overall maximum of 32 users across the 8
channels
Can two people look at the same server at the same time?
Yes, up to eight people can access and control any single server at the
same time.
Can two people access the same server, one remotely and one from
the local port?
Yes, the local port is completely independent of the remote “ports.” The
local port can access the same server using the PC-Share feature.
In order to access the Dominion KX II from a client, what hardware,
software or network configuration is required?
Because the Dominion KX II is completely web-accessible, it doesn't
require installation of proprietary software on clients used for access. An
optional installed client is available on Raritan.com and is required for
access by external modem.
The Dominion KX II can be accessed through major web browsers
including Internet Explorer, Mozilla, and Firefox. The Dominion KX II can
be accessed on Windows, Linux, Sun Solaris and Macintosh desktops,
via Raritan's Java-based Multi-Platform Client (MPC) and the new Virtual
KVM Client.
Dominion KX II administrators can perform remote management
functions, such as set passwords and security, rename servers, change
IP address and so on, using a convenient browser-based interface.
