Question Answer
How do the new features of
the Dominion KX II compare
to the KX I?
Dominion KX II has many new and exciting features, including virtual
media, Absolute Mouse Synchronization
TM
, dual power, dual gigabit
Ethernet, common Web-based user interfaces, next-generation local
ports, etc. See the “Features and Benefits” tab on the KX II Web pages
at www.raritan.com/KXII
How do I migrate from the
Dominion KX I to Dominion
KX II?
In general, KX I customers can continue to use their existing switches
for many years. As their data centers expand, customers can purchase
and use the new KX II models. Raritan’s centralized management
appliance, CommandCenter
®
Secure Gateway, and the Multiplatform
Client (MPC) both support KX I and KX II switches seamlessly.
Will my existing KX I CIMs
work with Dominion KX II
switches?
Yes. Existing KX I CIMs will work with the Dominion KX II switch. In
addition, select Paragon
®
CIMs will work with the KX II. This provides an
easy migration to KX II from Paragon I customers who wish to switch to
KVM over IP. However, you may want to consider the D2CIM-VUSB
and D2CIM-DVUSB CIMs that support virtual media and Absolute
Mouse Synchronization.
Can the Dominion KX II be
rack mounted?
Yes. The Dominion KX II ships standard with 19" rack mount brackets.
It can also be reverse rack mounted so the server ports face forward.
How large is the Dominion
KX II?
Dominion KX II is only 1U high (except the KX2-864 and KX2-464,
which are 2U), fits in a standard 19" rack mount and is only 11.4" (29
cm) deep. The Dominion KX2-832 and KX2-864 are 13.8" (36 cm) deep.

How many users can
remotely access servers on
each Dominion KX II?
Dominion KX II models offer remote connections for up to eight users
per user channel to simultaneously access and control a unique target
server. For one-channel devices like the DKX2-116, up to eight remote
users can access and control a single target server. For two-channel
devices, like the DKX2-216, up to eight users can access and control
the server on channel one and up to another eight users on channel
two. For four-channel devices, up to eight users per channel, for a total
of 32 (8 x 4) users, can access and control four servers. Likewise, for
the eight-channel devices, up to eight users can access a single server,
up to an overall maximum of 32 users across the eight channels.
Can two people look at the
same server at the same
time?
Yes. Actually, up to eight people can access and control any single
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.
