I want to connect over the Internet. What type of performance
should I expect?
It depends on the bandwidth and latency of the Internet connection
between your remote client and the Dominion KX II. With a cable
modem or high speed DSL connection, your performance can be very
similar to a LAN/WAN connection. For lower speed links, use the
suggestions above to improve performance.
I have a high bandwidth environment. How can I optimize
performance?
The default settings will provide strong performance in a high bandwidth
environment. Ensure that the connection speed is set to 100Mb or 1Gb
and the color depth is set to15 bit RGB Color.
What is the speed of the Dominion KX II's Ethernet interfaces?
The Dominion KX II supports gigabit as well as 10/100 Ethernet. The
Dominion KX II supports two 10/100/1000 speed Ethernet interfaces, with
configurable speed and duplex settings (either autodetected or manually
set).
Can I access the Dominion KX II over a wireless connection?
Yes. The Dominion KX II not only uses standard Ethernet, but also very
conservative bandwidth with very high quality video. Thus, if a wireless
client has network connectivity to the Dominion KX II, servers can be
configured and managed at BIOS-level wirelessly.
Can the Dominion KX II be used over the WAN (Internet), or just
over the corporate LAN?
Whether via a fast corporate LAN, the less predictable WAN (Internet),
cable modem or dial-up modem, the Dominion KX II's KVM-over-IP
technology can accommodate the connection.
Can I use the Dominion KX II with a VPN?
Yes, the Dominion KX II uses standard Internet Protocol (IP)
technologies from Layer 1 through Layer 4. Traffic can be easily tunneled
through standard VPNs.
How many TCP ports must be open on my firewall in order to enable
network access to the Dominion KX II? Are these ports
configurable?
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.
