provides BIOS-level access and control of 64 servers from anywhere in
the world via a web browser. At the rack, The Dominion KX provides
BIOS-level control of up to 64 servers and other IT devices from a single
keyboard, monitor, and mouse. The Dominion KX's integrated remote
access capabilities provide the same BIOS-level control of your servers,
from anywhere in the world, via a web browser.
The Dominion KX is easily installed using standard UTP (Cat 5/5e/6)
cabling. Its advanced features include 128-bit encryption, remote power
control, dual Ethernet, LDAP, RADIUS, Active Directory, syslog
integration, and web management. These features enable you to deliver
higher uptime, better productivity, and bulletproof security - at any time
from anywhere.
For larger data centers and enterprises, multiple Dominion KX units
(along with Dominion SX units for remote serial console access and
Dominion KSX for remote/branch office management) can be integrated
into a single logical solution via Raritan's CommandCenter Secure
Gateway (CC-SG).
The Dominion KX series includes KX132 and KX464 models. The
Dominion KX132 offers an economical alternative with the same KX
reliability. The KX464 is a 64-port digital KVM switch that offers a dual
power option for added reliability. In addition, intelligent mouse
synchronization and SNMP management are also available with these
devices.

Configuring Target Servers
Before installing the Dominion KX, you must configure any target
servers that will be accessed via the Dominion KX to ensure optimum
performance. Note that the configuration requirements outlined in this
section apply only to target servers, not to the client workstations
(remote PCs) that are used to access the Dominion KX remotely.
Server Video Resolution
Ensure that each target server's video resolution and refresh rate is
supported by the Dominion KX and that the signal is noninterlaced.
Dominion KX supports the following video resolutions:
Resolutions
640x480 @ 60Hz 800x600 @ 56Hz 1024x768 @ 60Hz
640x480 @ 72Hz 800x600 @ 60Hz 1024x768 @ 70Hz
640x480 @ 75Hz 800x600 @ 72Hz 1024x768 @ 75Hz
640x480 @ 85Hz 800x600 @ 75Hz 1024x768 @ 85Hz
720x400 @ 70Hz 800x600 @ 85Hz 1152x864 @ 60Hz

1152x864 @ 70Hz
1152x864 @ 75Hz
1280x960 @ 60Hz
1280x1024 @ 60Hz
11
Configuring Target Servers
Desktop Background
For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, target servers
running graphical user interfaces such as Windows, Linux, X-Windows,
Solaris, and KDE should be configured with desktop backgrounds set to
a predominantly solid, plain, light-colored graphic. The desktop
background need not be completely solid; but desktop backgrounds
featuring photos or complex gradients should be avoided.
Mouse and Video Settings
Mouse Modes
The Dominion KX operates in Standard Mouse mode by default, which
requires that acceleration be disabled. However, depending on your
operating system, you can choose to work in Intelligent Mouse mode. In
either mode, mouse parameters must be set to specific values (described
in this user guide). See Single Mouse Mode/Dual Mouse Mode (on page
99) for more information.
Note: Although Absolute Mouse mode appears on the Mouse menu, it is
disabled at this time.
Note that mouse configurations will vary on different target operating
systems system. Consult your operating system guidelines for further
details.
12
Chapter 2: Installation
Windows XP/Windows 2003 Mouse Settings
On target servers running Microsoft Windows XP, disable the Enhanced
Pointer Precision option and set the mouse motion speed exactly to the
middle speed setting.
These parameters are found in Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options.
Disable transition effects in Control Panel > Display > Appearance >
Effects.
Note: For target servers running Windows NT, 2000, or XP, you may
wish to create a user name that will be used only for remote connections
through the Dominion KX. This will enable you to keep the target
server's slow mouse pointer motion/acceleration settings exclusive to the
Dominion KX connection only.
Windows XP and 2000 login screens revert to preset mouse parameters
that differ from those suggested for optimal Dominion KX performance.
As a result, mouse synchronization may not be optimal at these screens.
If you are comfortable adjusting the registry on Windows target servers,
you can obtain better Dominion KX mouse synchronization at login
screens by using the Windows registry editor to change the following
settings:
• Default user mouse motion speed = 0
• Mouse threshold 1= 0
• Mouse threshold 2 = 0.
Important: Only the default, Standard mouse mode works with these
operating systems.
Windows 2000/ME Mouse Settings
On target servers running Microsoft Windows 2000/ME, set the mouse
pointer acceleration to None and the mouse motion speed exactly to the
middle speed setting. These parameters are found in Control Panel >
Mouse. Disable transition effects in Control Panel > Display > Effects.
Windows 95/98/NT Mouse Settings
On target servers running Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT, set the mouse
motion speed to the slowest setting in Control Panel > Mouse > Motion.
Disable window, menu, and list animation in Control Panel > Display >
Effects.

Configuring Target Servers
Linux Mouse Settings
On target servers running Linux graphical interfaces, set the mouse
acceleration to exactly 1 and set the threshold to exactly 1. Enter this
command: xset mouse 1 1.
Ensure that each target server running Linux is using a resolution
supported by the Dominion KX at a standard VESA resolution and
refresh rate. Each Linux target server should also be set so the blanking
times are within +/- 40% of VESA standard values.
To check for these parameters:
1. Go to the Xfree86 Configuration file XF86Config
2. Using a text editor, disable all non-Dominion KX supported
3. Disable the virtual desktop feature, which is not supported by the
4. Check blanking times (+/- 40% of VESA standard).

Chapter 2: Installation
Sun Solaris Video Settings
All target servers must be configured to one of the display resolutions
supported by the Dominion KX (see Server Video Resolution (on page
11)). The most popular supported resolutions for Sun machines are:
• 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz
• 1024 x 768 @ 70 Hz
• 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz
• 1024 x 768 @ 85 Hz
• 1152 x 900 @ 66 Hz
• 1152 x 900 @ 76 Hz
• 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz
Further, target servers running the Solaris operating system must output
VGA video (H-and-V sync, not composite sync).
¾ To change your Sun video card output from composite
sync to the non-default VGA output:
1. Issue the Stop+A command to drop to bootprom mode.
2. Next, issue the command setenv output-device
screen:r1024x768x70 to change the output resolution.
3. Issue the “boot” command to reboot the server.
You may also contact your Raritan representative to purchase a video
output adapter. 13W3 Suns with composite sync output require an
APSSUN II Guardian converter for use with the Dominion KX. HD15
Suns with composite sync output require the 1396C converter to convert
from HD15 to 13W3 and an APSSUN II Guardian converter to support
composite sync. HD15 Suns with separate sync output require an
APKMSUN Guardian converter for use with the Dominion KX.
Note: Some of the standard SUN background screens may not center
precisely on certain SUN servers, specifically, those with dark borders.
Use another background or place a light colored icon in the upper left
hand corner.
17
Configuring Target Servers
Apple Macintosh Mouse Settings
For target servers running an Apple Macintosh operating system, no
specific mouse setting is required. However, when using the Dominion
KX to access and control your target server, you must set Multi-Platform
Client (MPC) to use Single Cursor mode (see Single Mouse Mode/Dual
Mouse Mode (on page 99) for information on working with Single Cursor
mode).
Single Cursor mode for Apple Macintosh target servers is supported
using MPC. Single button mice are also supported on Mac OS 10.4.x and
later clients when MPC is launched in a browser and as a standalone
application . Hold down the Ctrl key and click with the mouse to
emulate right clicking in MPC.
The standalone version of MPC supports Apple Macintosh modem
connections as well.
Note: See the Raritan Multi-Platform Client and Raritan Remote Client
User Guide, available on Raritan's website in the Support section or on
the Raritan user guides & quick setup guides CD ROM included with
your Dominion KX shipment for details on installing and operating MPC
and RRC.
Note: If both non-MAC and MAC targets are connected, it is strongly
recommended to use a 2-button mouse on a MAC target to avoid
confusion when switching between MAC and non-MAC targets.
IBM AIX Mouse Settings
For target servers running the IBM-AIX UNIX operating system, follow
these steps to make mouse settings permanent:
1. Go to Style Manager.
2. In Style Manager dialog, choose the Mouse option.
3. In the Mouse dialog, use the sliders to set the Acceleration setting to
1.0 and the Threshold to 1.0.
4. Click OK.

Chapter 2: Installation
Configuring Network Firewall Settings
If you wish to access the Dominion KX through a network firewall, your
firewall must allow communication on TCP Port 5000. The Dominion KX
can also be configured to use a different TCP port of your designation
(see Network Configuration (on page 150) for additional information).
Optional: Take advantage of the Dominion KX's web-access capabilities.
To do this, the firewall must also allow inbound communication on TCP
Port 443 - the standard TCP port for HTTPS communication.
To take advantage of the Dominion KX's automatic redirection of HTTP
requests to HTTPS (for example, so users may type the more common
http:// instead of https://), the firewall must also allow inbound
communication on TCP Port 80 - the standard TCP port for HTTP
communication.
Note: Depending on hardware status, firewall ports may require
different settings. Refer to the table:

attach the second included AC power cord and plug it into a different
power source.
