Security and Authentication
In order to use the Dominion KX II Local Console, you must first
authenticate with a valid username and password. Dominion KX II
provides a fully-integrated authentication and security scheme, whether
your access is via the network or the local port. In either case, Dominion
KX II allows access only to those servers to which a user has access
permissions (refer to User Management (on page 98) for additional
information on specifying server access and security settings).
If your Dominion KX II has been configured for external authentication
services (LDAP, RADIUS, or Active Directory), authentication attempts
at the Local Console also are authenticated against the external
authentication service.
Note: You can also specify no authentication for local console access; this option
is recommended only for secure environments.
¾ To use the KX II Local Console:
1. You need a keyboard, mouse, and video display connected to the
local ports at the back of the Dominion KX II unit. Refer to Physical
Connections (on page 177) for more information about the local port
connections.
2. Start the Dominion KX II unit; the KX II Local Console interface
displays.
KX II Local Console Interface
The KX II Local Console interface is almost identical to the KX II Remote
Console interface. Where there are differences, they are noted in the user
manual. Refer to User Interfaces, KX II Console (see "KX II Local
Console: KX II Devices" on page 41), and KX II Console Menu Tree (see
"Dominion KX II Console Menu Tree" on page 47) for additional
information.

various monitors:
• 800x600

Each of these resolutions supports a refresh rate of 60Hz and 75Hz.
