This can be performed from the graphical user interface (as shown below), or with the command line “xset mouse a
t” where “a” is the acceleration and “t” is the threshold.
Apple Macintosh Settings
For target servers running an Apple Macintosh operating system, while no specific mouse setting is required, please
be aware that while using Dominion KSX to access and control your target server, you must set the Dominion KSX
client (Raritan Remote Client) to “single cursor” mode (see Chapter 3: Raritan Remote Client, Remote KVM
Console Control, Single Mouse Mode).
Dual cursor mode is not supported; the two mouse pointers will not appear in sync if you attempt to control a
Macintosh server via Dominion KSX in dual cursor mode.
Configuring Target Serial Devices
For each target serial device that you wish to connect to Dominion KSX for remote access, please:
•
Ensure that the serial terminal settings are set to a VT-100 emulation. Dominion KSX supports only standard
VT-100 emulation.
•
Either change the serial communication parameters to 9600 baud N-8-1 (Dominion KSX default), or note the
communication parameters for later reference.
Configuring Network Firewall Settings
If you wish to access Dominion KSX through a network firewall, your firewall must allow communication on TCP
Port 5000. Alternatively, Dominion KSX can be configured to use a different TCP port of your own designation (see
Chapter 4: Administrative Functions, Network Configuration).
Optional: If you wish to take advantage of Dominion KSX's web-access capabilities, the firewall must also allow
inbound communication on TCP Port 443 – the standard TCP port for HTTPS communication. If you wish to take
advantage of Dominion KSX's automatic redirection of HTTP requests to HTTPS (i.e., so users may type the more
common, "http://xxx.xxx.xxxx", instead of "https://xxx.xxx.xxxx"), then the firewall must also allow inbound
communication on TCP Port 80 – the standard TCP port for HTTP communication.
