Appendix D: FAQs330What is the slowest connection (lowest bandwidth) over which theKSX II can operate?33Kbps or above is recommended for acceptable KSX II performanceover a modem connection.What is the speed of the KSX II's Ethernet interfaces?The KSX II supports two 10/100/1000 speed Ethernet interfaces, withconfigurable speed and duplex settings (either auto-detected or manuallyset).Can I access the KSX II over a wireless connection?Yes. The KSX II not only uses standard Ethernet, but also veryconservative bandwidth with very high quality video. Thus, if a wirelessclient has network connectivity to the KSX II, servers can be configuredand managed at BIOS-level wirelessly.Can the KSX II be used over the WAN (Internet), or just over thecorporate LAN?Whether via a fast corporate LAN, the less predictable WAN (Internet),cable modem or dial-up modem, the KSX II's KVM-over-IP technologycan accommodate the connection.How many TCP ports must be open on my firewall in order toenable network access to the KSX II? Are these ports configurable?Only one. The KSX II protects network security by only requiring accessto a single TCP port to operate. This port is completely configurable foradditional security.Note that, of course, to use the KSX II's optional web browser capability,the standard HTTPS port 443 must also be open.Can the KSX II be used with CITRIX?The KSX II may work with remote access products like CITRIX ifconfigured appropriately, but Raritan cannot guarantee it will work withacceptable performance. Products like CITRIX utilize video redirectiontechnologies similar in concept to digital KVM switches so that twoKVM-over-IP technologies are being used simultaneously.Does the KSX II require an external authentication server tooperate?No, the KSX II is a completely self-sufficient. After assigning an IPaddress to a KSX II, it is ready to use - with web browser andauthentication capabilities completely built-in.
