Local Access Console
Local User - an optional user console (consisting of a
keyboard, mouse, and multi-sync VGA monitor) attached

USB smart card reader can also be attached at the Local port
to mount onto a target server.
Local Administrator - use the Local Administrator port to
connect the KSX II directly to a workstation to manage your
serial targets and configure the system with a terminal
emulation program such as HyperTerminal. The Local
Administrator port requires the use of a standard null modem
cable.

servers and serial targets connected to the KSX II. Refer to
Supported Operating Systems (Clients) for a list of the
Operating Systems supported by the KSX II remotely.
CIMs
Dongles that connect to each target server. Available for all of
the supported Operating Systems. Refer to Supported CIMs
for information about the CIMs supported by the KSX II.
Serial Adapter
Adapters that connect serial cables.
