While reading the manual, please refer to the diagram below for clarification when necessary.
Target KVM Servers Servers with graphical video cards and user interfaces (e.g., Windows, Linux,
Solaris, etc.) to be accessed remotely via Dominion KSX.
Target Serial Devices Serially-controlled (RS-232) devices to be accessed remotely via Dominion
KSX. For example, headless servers, routers, switches, CSU/DSU, etc.
Remote PC A networked Windows-based computer used to access and control target
devices connected to Dominion KSX.
Local Access Console An optional user console, consisting of a PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and
multi-sync VGA monitor, directly attached to Dominion KSX to control
Target KVM Servers locally (not through the network).
Local Admin Console
A PS/2 keyboard and VGA monitor directly attached to Dominion KSX, used
for administration and setup. From this console, Dominion KSX
administration menus can be performed directly. Target KVM Servers and
Target Serial Devices cannot be viewed using this screen.
While Dominion KSX also allows remote administration via the network,
the local admin console provides the most convenient means to perform
initial setup.
