Appendix D: FAQs
302
To take advantage of the Dominion KX II's integrated power control user
interface, and more importantly, integrated security, use Raritan's
Remote Power Control (RPC) power strips. RPCs come in many outlet,
connector, and amp variations. The D2CIM-PWR must be purchased to
connect the RPC to the Dominion KX II.
Scalability
How do I connect multiple Dominion KX II devices together into one
solution?
Multiple Dominion KX II devices do not need to be physically connected
together. Instead, each Dominion KX II device connects to the network.
They automatically work together as a single solution if deployed with
Raritan's optional CommandCenter Secure Gateway (CC-SG)
management unit. CC-SG acts as a single access point for remote
access and management. CC-SG offers a significant set of convenient
tools, such as consolidated configuration, consolidated firmware update,
and a single authentication and authorization database.
In addition, CC-SG enables sophisticated server sorting, permissions,
and access. If deployment of Raritan's CC-SG management unit isn't an
option, multiple Dominion KX II devices still interoperate and scale
automatically. The Dominion KX II's remote user interface and the
Multi-Platform Client will automatically discover Dominion KX II devices.
Non-discovered Dominion KX II devices can be accessed via a
user-created profile.
Can I connect an existing analog KVM switch to the Dominion KX
II?
Yes. Analog KVM switches can be connected to one of the Dominion KX
II's server ports. Simply use a PS/2 Computer Interface Module (CIM)
and attach it to the user ports of the existing analog KVM switch. Please
Note that analog KVM switches vary in their specifications and Raritan
cannot guarantee the interoperability of any particular third-party analog
KVM switch. Contact Raritan technical support for further information.
