82 DOMINION KX USER GUIDE
Remote Access
QUESTION ANSWER
How many users can
remotely access servers
on each Dominion KX?
Currently, Dominion models KX416, KX432, and KX464 offer
concurrent remote transmissions of up to four unique servers at any
time. Dominion KX can, thereby, provide any of the following
permutations:
• 1 User, viewing four unique servers simultaneously
• 2 Users, each viewing two unique servers simultaneously
• 8 Users – eight users viewing one server; four users each viewing
two unique servers simultaneously
• Any other permutations of up to 8 users, viewing up to 4 unique
servers total.
Can two people look at
the same server at the
same time?
Yes, up to eight people can look at the same server at the same time.
Can two people access
the same server, one
remotely and one from
the local port?
Yes, the local port is completely independent of the remote “ports.” The
local port can access the same server using the PC Share feature.
In order to access
Dominion KX from a
client, what hardware,
software, or network
configuration is
required?
Because Dominion KX is completely Web-accessible; it does not
require proprietary software to be installed on clients used for access.
(Although an optional installed client is available on the Raritan Web
site (
www.raritan.com) for the purposes of accessing Dominion KX via
modem).
Dominion KX can be accessed through major Web browsers including:
Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, and Firefox. Dominion KX can
now be accessed on Windows, Linux, SUN Solaris, and Macintosh
desktops, with the introduction of Raritan’s Java-based Multi Platform
Client (MPC).
Dominion KX administrators can also perform remote management (set
passwords and security, rename servers, change IP address, etc.). To
perform remote management from a given workstation, you must also
have Java Runtime Environment of v1.4.2.05 or later installed.
