Dominion KX II

Quick Setup Guide

Thank you for your purchase of the KX II, the industry's most full-featured, enterprise-class, secure, digital KVM

(Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch.

This Quick Setup Guide explains how to install and configure the KX II. For additional information on any aspect of the

KX II, see the accompanying online help accessed from the KX II or from the KX II User Guide, which can be

downloaded from the Firmware and Documentation section of Raritan's website

(http://www.raritan.com/support/firmware-and-documentation/).

Step 1: Configure the KVM Target Servers

For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, KVM

target servers running graphical user interfaces such as

Windows

, Linux

, X-Windows, Solaris

™

, and KDE require

configuration. The desktop background need not be

completely solid but desktop backgrounds featuring photos or

complex gradients might degrade performance.

Ensure that the server video resolution and refresh rate are

supported by KX II and that the signal is non-interlaced. The

KX II supports these resolutions:
