Rev. A August 2005 255-62-4004I. Prepare Devices and Network for Remote OperationCongratulations on your purchase of Dominion KX101. KX101 provides a single KVM port for connection to atarget server and a single IP port for connection to an IP network. Control the KX101 via Raritan’sCommandCenter (v. 2.2 and above) or independently via Raritan’s KX Manager and RRC management soft-ware platforms. Before installing KX101, configure any target servers that you wish to access with it as outlinedbelow.All ServersA. For optimal bandwidth efficien-cy and video performance, set theOS desktop background to a pre-dominantly solid, plain, light-col-ored graphic.B. Ensure that the server’s videoresolution and refresh rate aresupported by KX101, and the sig-nal is non-interlaced:Text Mode640x480@60Hz 640x480@72Hz640x480@75Hz 640x480@85Hz800x600@60Hz 800x600@72Hz800x600@75Hz 800x600@85Hz1280x1024@60Hz 1024x768@60Hz1024x768@70Hz 1024x768@75Hz1024x768@85Hz 1152x864@60Hz1152x864@75Hz 1600x1200@60HzNetwork / FirewallIn order to enable remote accessto KX101, your network and fire-wall must allow communication onTCP Port 5000. Alternatively,KX101 can also be configured touse a different TCP port of yourown designation (see UserManual).Optional: If you wish to accessKX101 via web browser, your fire-wall must also allow access toTCP Port 443 (Standard HTTPS).You may also wish to allowaccess to TCP Port 80 (StandardHTTP) for additional conven-ience; KX101 will forward allHTTP requests to HTTPS, allow-ing end users to securely useeither “http” or “https” as a URL.Windows XPDisable “Enhanced pointer preci-sion”, and set the mouse motionspeed exactly to the middle speedsetting. These options are locatedin Control Panel > Mouse >Pointer Options. Disable transi-tion effects inControl Panel > Display >Appearance > Effects.Windows 2000Set mouse pointer acceleration to“None” and the mouse motionspeed exactly to the middle speedsetting. Disable transition effectsin Control Panel > Display > Effects. Ifin Intelligent or Absolute (USBonly) Mouse SynchronizationMode, acceleration is supported.Linux (with GraphicalDesktop)For optimal results, set mouseacceleration to exactly 1, andthreshold to exactly 1.Sun Solaris (withGraphical Desktop)For optimal results, set mouseacceleration to exactly 1.0. Also,be sure that your video card is setto a supported resolution and isoutputting VGA (H-and-V Sync,not composite sync). This non-default configuration can be set inthe bootprom mode by issuing thecommand:setenv output-device screen :r1024x768x70Then issue the “boot” commandto reboot.II. Connect to Network and Attach to ServerKX101 unit with USB pigtail KX101 unit with PS2 pigtailIII. Initial ConfigurationInitial configuration of the KX101 is per-formed via the local administration port. Toconnect to this port, plug one end of theRJ11 cable included in the KX101 kit intothe ADMIN port on the unit. Plug the otherend of the cable into the serial port of a PCusing the serial-to-RJ11 adaptor provided.On the PC, access the serial port with a ter-minal emulation program (e.g., HyperTerminal) using the following settings: 9600baud, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit, andno flow control.Pressing the “Enter” key in the terminalemulation program displays the KX101Login screen. Enter the default password“raritan” and the Main Menu of the KX101administrative interface is displayed.Follow the on-screen instructions to navi-gate the menus. Select NetworkConfiguration (Figure 1) and configurethese settings (Figure 2).1. Name: Type a unique name for theKX101, using alphanumeric characters andnot starting with a number.2. Enable Ethernet Interface: Designatewhether KX101 should enable its Ethernetadapter as active (default: YES).3. Line Speed & Duplex: Enter the visualefficiency for the monitor: Auto detect, 10Mbps/Full Duplex, 10 Mbps/Half Duplex,100 Mbps/Full Duplex, or 100 Mbps/HalfDuplex.4. Obtain IP address automatically(DHCP): Recommended to set to NO. Thedefault YES enables dynamic IP addressingfor KX101. Each time KX101 boots, itrequests an IP address from the localDHCP server. Note that this setting canmake remote access to KX101 from outsidethe LAN difficult, since the dynamicallyassigned IP address must be known inorder to initiate a connection.5. If DHCP is set to NO, then enter an IPaddress, network mask, and gatewayaddress. Even though KX101 ships withDHCP as factory default, it is recommendedto assign a fixed IP address to the KX101unit.6. Enable Web Browser Interface:Enables Web browser access to KX101(default: YES).7. Use Default TCP Port 5000:-YES (default): Utilizes the default port5000.-NO: Enter an alternate port number.8. Press Ctrl+S to save entries and return tothe Main Menu.9. On the Main Menu, select [R] Restart orshutdown the KX101, and press the Enterkey.10. When prompted, press the letter R onyour keyboard to restart KX101.11. KX101 will restart and the KX101Initialization screen appears upon boot up.KX101 is now ready for initial connection.Physical Setup1. Before powering on a KX101 unit, align and attachthe desired USB or PS2 cable attachment to the Mini-DIN-8 connector of the KX101 integrated KVM cable.2. Plug one end of the included RJ11 cable into theADMIN port and plug the other end into the serial porton your PC using the provided serial-to-RJ11 adapter.3. If Power over Ethernet (PoE) is used, connect a10/100BT cable to the LAN port of the KX101 and plugthe other end into a PoE-provisioned LAN.continued above right16Figure 2Figure 1II.
