Dominion KX II - FAQ
© 2010 Raritan Inc. Page 15 of 20 V1098 R2 January 2010
Question Answer
If I use the local port to
change the name of a
connected server, does this
change propagate to remote
access clients as well?
Does it propagate to the
optional CommandCenter
appliance?
Yes. The local port presentation is identical and completely in sync with
remote access clients, as well as Raritan’s CommandCenter Secure
Gateway management appliance. To be clear, if the name of a server
via the Dominion KX II on-screen display is changed, this updates all
remote clients and external management servers in real time.
If I use Dominion KX II’s
remote administration tools
to change the name of a
connected server, does that
change propagate to the
local port OSD as well?
Yes. If the name of a server is changed remotely, or via Raritan’s
optional CommandCenter Secure Gateway management appliance, this
update immediately affects Dominion KX II’s on-screen display.
Extended Local Port (Dominion KX2-832 and KX2-864 models only)
What is the extended local
port?
The Dominion KX2-832 and KX2-864 feature an extended local port.
The KX II eight-user models have a standard local port, plus a new
extended local port that extends the local port, via Cat5 cable, beyond
the rack to a control room, another point in the data center or to a
Paragon II switch.
Is a user station required for
the extended local port?
Yes. The following devices can function as the “user station” for the
extended local port: Paragon II EUST, Paragon II UST and the Cat5
Reach URKVMG device. In addition, the extended local port can be
connected via Cat5 cable to a server port on a Paragon II switch. This
configuration can be used to consolidate the local ports of many KX2-
8xxx devices to a single switch.
How far can the user station
be from the Dominion KX II?
The distance is 200 feet to 1,000 feet (61 m – 304 m), but varies
according to the type of user station, the video resolution and cable type
and quality. See the user guide or Release Notes for more information.
Is a CIM required?
No CIM is required. Just connect a Cat5 cable.
Must I use the extended
local port?
No. The extended local port is an optional feature and is disabled by
default. Use the “Local Port Settings” page to enable it. You can also
disable the standard local port if you are not going to use it for added
security.
Dual Power Supplies
Does Dominion KX II have a
dual power option?
Yes. All Dominion KX II models come equipped with dual AC inputs and
power supplies with automatic failover. Should one of the power inputs
or power supplies fail, then the KX II will automatically switch to the
other.
Does the power supply used
by Dominion KX II
automatically detect voltage
settings?
Yes. Dominion KX II’s power supply can be used in AC voltage ranges
from 100–240 volts, at 50–60 Hz.
