How do I connect
multiple Dominion KX
devices together into one
solution?
Multiple Dominion KX units do not need to be physically connected
together. Instead, each Dominion KX unit connects to the network, and
they automatically work together as a single solution:
If you deploy Raritan’s optional CC-SG management appliance, CC-
SG acts as a single access point for remote access and management.
CC-SG offers a significant set of convenient tools, such as consolidated
configuration, consolidated firmware update, and a single
authentication and authorization database.
In addition, CC-SG enables sophisticated server sorting, permissions,
and access functionality – for instance, you can create an attribute
called “Operating System”, and in one step enable only the Active
Directory group “SYSADMINS” to access those servers whose
“Operating System” attribute is set to “Windows.” Please refer to the
CC-SG FAQ sheet on Raritan’s Website for additional information:
If you do not take advantage of Raritan’s optional CC-SG management
appliance, multiple Dominion KX units still interoperate and scale
automatically: The Raritan Remote Client automatically discovers the
Dominion KX units in your subnet. You can access Dominion KX units
outside the subnet via a user-created profile.
Can I connect an
existing analog KVM
switch to Dominion
KX?
Yes. You can connect your analog KVM switch to one of Dominion
KX’s server ports. Simply use a PS/2 Computer Interface Module
(CIM), and attach it to the user ports of your existing analog KVM
switch. Please note that analog KVM switches vary in their
specifications and Raritan cannot guarantee the interoperability of any
particular third-party analog KVM switch. Contact Raritan technical
support for further information. Raritan’s Paragon and Paragon II
analog switches are IP enabled by the IP-Reach family of remote access
products.
