a. Select the Display option from the Control Panel.
b. Click the Effects tab.
Deselect the "Use the following transition effect for
menus and tooltips" option.
3. Click OK and close the Control Panel.
Linux Settings
To configure KVM target servers running Linux
®
:
(Standard Mouse Mode only) Set the mouse acceleration
to exactly 1 and set the threshold to exactly 1. Enter the
following command:
xset mouse 1 1
. This should be set
for execution upon login.
Sun Solaris Settings
To configure KVM target servers running Sun
®
Solaris
™
:
1. Set the mouse acceleration value to exactly 1 and the
threshold to exactly 1.
2. Ensure that your video card is set to a supported
resolution and that its output is VGA, not composite sync.
Apple Macintosh Settings
To configure KVM target servers running Apple Mac:
For KVM target servers running an Apple Macintosh
®
operating system, the preferred method is to use the
D2CIM-VUSB and Absolute Mouse Synchronization.
Note: 'USB Profile 'Mac OS-X, version 10.4.9 and later' must
be selected from the USB Profile menu or the Port
Configuration page.
IBM AIX Settings
To configure KVM target servers running IBM AIX
®
:
Go to the Style Manager, click on Mouse Settings and set
Mouse Acceleration to 1.0 and Threshold to 3.0.

Step 2: Configure Network Firewall Settings
To enable remote access to the KSX II, your network and
firewall must allow communication on TCP Port 5000. You
can also configure the KSX II to use a different TCP port, then
allow communication on that port.
To access the KSX II via a web browser, your firewall must
also allow access to TCP Port 443 (Standard HTTPS). Access
to TCP Port 80 (Standard HTTP) enables automatic
redirection of HTTP requests to HTTPS.

Step 3: Connect the Equipment
Connect the KSX II to the power supply, network, local PC,
KVM target servers, and serial targets.
A. AC Power
To connect the power supply:
1. Attach the included AC power cord to the KSX II and plug
into an AC power outlet.
B. Network Port
The KSX II provides two Ethernet ports for failover purposes
(not for load-balancing). By default, only LAN1 is active and
the automatic failover is disabled. When enabled, if the KSX II
internal network interface or the network switch to which it is
connected becomes unavailable, LAN2 will be enabled using
the same IP address.
Note: Because a failover port is not activated until after a
failover has actually occurred, Raritan recommends that you
either not monitor the failover port or monitor it only after a
failover occurs.
To connect the network:
1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable (included) from the
network port labeled LAN1 to an Ethernet switch, hub, or
router.
2. To make use of the optional KSX II Ethernet failover
capabilities:
Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the network
port labeled LAN2 to an Ethernet switch, hub, or
router.
Enable Automatic Failover on the Network
Configuration page.
Note: Use both network ports only if you want to use one as a
failover port.
C. Local User Port (Local PC) and Local Admin Port
For convenient access to KVM target servers and serial
devices while at the rack, use the KSX II Local Access port.
While the local port is required for installation and setup, it is
optional for subsequent use. The local port provides the KSX
II Local Console graphical user interface for administration
and target server access.
