Step 6: Configuring the Keyboard Language
(Optional)
Note: This step is not required if you are using the
US/International language keyboard.
If you are using a non-US language, the keyboard must be
configured for the appropriate language.
Additionally, the keyboard language for the client machine and
the KVM target servers must match.
Consult your operating system documentation for additional
information about changing the keyboard layout.

Step 7: Create and Install an SSL Certificate
Raritan strongly recommends you install your own SSL
Certificate in each KX III device.
This security best practice reduces the number of Java
®
warning messages, and avoids man-in-the-middle attacks.
