KX II - Frequently Asked Questions
©Copyright Raritan, Inc. 2007 Page 5 of 11 Rev. May 2007
Can I use Dominion KX II
with a VPN?
Yes. 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 Dominion KX II?
Are these ports configurable?
Only one. 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 Dominion KX II’s optional Web browser
capability, the standard HTTPS port 443 must also be open.
Does Dominion KX II require
an external authentication
server to operate?
No. Dominion KX II is a completely self-sufficient appliance. After
assigning an IP address to a Dominion KX II, it is ready to use – with
Web browser and authentication capabilities completely built-in.
If an external authentication server (such as LDAP, Active Directory
®
,
RADIUS, etc.) is used, Dominion KX II allows this as well, and will
even failover to its own internal authentication should the external
authentication server become unavailable. In this way, Dominion KX
II’s design philosophy is optimized to provide ease of installation,
complete independence from any external server and maximum
flexibility.
Can Dominion KX II be used
with CITRIX?
Dominion KX II may work with remote access products like CITRIX if
configured appropriately, but Raritan cannot guarantee it will work with
acceptable performance. Customers should realize that products like
CITRIX utilize video redirection technologies similar in concept to
digital KVM switches so that two KVM-over-IP technologies are being
used simultaneously.
Can the Dominion KX II use
DHCP?
DHCP addressing can be used, however, Raritan recommends fixed
addressing since the Dominion KX II is an infrastructure device and
can be accessed and administered more effectively with a fixed IP
address.
I’m having problems
connecting to the Dominion
KX II over my IP network.
What could be the problem?
The Dominion KX II relies on the customer’s LAN/WAN network.
Some possible problems include:
• Ethernet auto negotiation. On some networks, 10/100 auto
negotiation does not work properly and the KX II unit must be
set to 100MB/full duplex or the appropriate choice for its
network.
• Duplicate IP Address. If the IP Address of the KX II is the
same as another device, network connectivity may be
inconsistent.
• Port 5000 conflicts. If another device is using port 5000, the
KX II default port must be changed (or the other device must
be changed).
• When changing the IP Address of a KX II, or swapping in a
new KX II, sufficient time must be allowed for its IP and Mac
addresses to be known throughout the Layer 2 and Layer 3
networks.
