D. Local Access Port (Local PC)
For convenient access to target servers while at the rack, use the
Dominion KX II Local Access port. While the Local Access port is
required for installation and setup, it is optional for subsequent use. The
Local Access port also provides a graphical user interface from the
Dominion KX II Local Console for administration and target server
access.
The KX2-832 and KX2-864 also provide you with an Extended Local
port, labeled EXT LOCAL on the back of the device, for access to target
servers while at the rack. The Extended Local port is not required for the
initial installation and setup. It is configured from the Local Console and
Remote Console. See Configuring Dominion KX II Local Port
Settings (on page 169) for additional information.
To connect the local port:
Attach a multi-sync VGA monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the
respective Local User ports using either a PS/2 or USB keyboard
and mouse (DKX2-832 and DKX2-864 provide USB only). The
physical connections for the Local User and Extended Local ports
can be found on the back panel of the Dominion KX II.
