Only one. The Dominion KX II protects network security by only requiring
access to a single TCP port to operate. This port is completely
configurable for additional security.
Note that, of course, to use the Dominion KX II's optional web browser
capability, the standard HTTPS port 443 must also be open.
Does the Dominion KX II require an external authentication server
to operate?
No. The Dominion KX II is a completely self-sufficient. After assigning an
IP address to the Dominion KX II, it is ready to use. Its web browser and
authentication capabilities are completely built-in.
If an external authentication server (such as LDAP, Active Directory,
RADIUS, etc.) is used, the Dominion KX II allows this as well, and will
even failover to its own internal authentication should the external
authentication server become unavailable. In this way, the Dominion KX
II's design philosophy is optimized to provide ease of installation,
complete independence from any external server, and maximum
flexibility.
Can the Dominion KX II be used with CITRIX?
The Dominion KX II may work with remote access products like CITRIX if
configured appropriately, but Raritan cannot guarantee it will work with
acceptable performance. Products like CITRIX utilize video redirection
technologies similar in concept to digital KVM switches so that two
KVM-over-IP technologies are being used simultaneously.
Can the Dominion KX II use DHCP?
DHCP addressing can be used, however, Raritan recommends fixed
addressing since the Dominion KX II is an infrastructure device and can
be accessed and administered more effectively with a fixed IP address.
I'm having problems connecting to the Dominion KX II over my IP
network. What could be the problem?
The Dominion KX II relies on your LAN/WAN network. Some possible
problems include:
• Ethernet autonegotiation - On some networks, 10/100
autonegotiation does not work properly and the Dominion KX II unit
must be set to 100MB/full duplex or the appropriate choice for its
network.
• Duplicate IP address - If the IP address of the Dominion KX II is the
same as another device, network connectivity may be inconsistent.
• Port 5000 conflicts - If another device is using port 5000, the
Dominion KX II default port must be changed (or the other device
must be changed).
