Question Answer
In order to access Dominion
KX II from a client, what
hardware, software or
network configuration is
required? Because Dominion KX II is completely Web-accessible, it doesn’t
require customers to install proprietary software on clients used for
access. (An optional installed client is available on www.raritan.com;
this is required for access by an external modem.)
Dominion KX II can be accessed through major Web browsers,
including: Internet Explorer
®
and Firefox
®
. Dominion KX II can now be
accessed on Windows, Linux and Macintosh
®
desktops, via Raritan’s
new Windows Client, and the Java™-based Multiplatform and Virtual
KVM Client™.
Dominion KX II administrators can also perform remote management
(set passwords and security, rename servers, change IP address, etc.)
using a convenient browser-based interface.

How do I access servers
connected to Dominion
KX II if the network ever
becomes unavailable? You can access servers at the rack or via modem. Dominion KX II offers
a dedicated modem port for attaching an external modem.
Do you have a Windows
Client? Yes. In Release 2.2, we have a native .NET Windows Client called the
Raritan Active KVM Client.
Do you have a non-
Windows Client? Yes. Both the Virtual KVM Client (VKC) and the Multiplatform Client
(MPC), allow non-Windows users to connect to target servers through
the Dominion KX I and KX II switches. MPC can be run via Web
browsers and stand-alone. Please refer to Raritan’s Dominion KX II and
MPC user guides for more information.
