KX II - Frequently Asked Questions
©Copyright Raritan, Inc. 2007 Page 9 of 11 Rev. May 2007
What type of power strips
does Dominion KX II
support?
To take advantage of Dominion KX II’s integrated power control user
interface, and more importantly, integrated security, use Raritan’s
Remote Power Control (RPC) power strips. RPCs come in many
outlet, connector and amp variations. The D2CIM-PWR must be
purchased to connect the RPC to the KX II.
Scalability
How do I connect multiple
Dominion KX II devices
together into one solution?
Multiple Dominion KX II units do not need to be physically connected
together. Instead, each Dominion KX II unit connects to the network,
and they automatically work together as a single solution if deployed
with Raritan’s optional CommandCenter Secure Gateway (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. If deployment of Raritan’s CC-SG management appliance
isn’t an option, multiple Dominion KX II units still interoperate and scale
automatically: The KX II’s remote user interface and the Multiplatform
Client will automatically discover Dominion KX II units. Non-
discovered Dominion KX II units can be accessed via a user-created
profile.
Can I connect an existing
analog KVM switch to
Dominion KX II?
Yes. Analog KVM switches can be connected to one of Dominion KX
II’s server ports. Simply use a PS/2 Computer Interface Module (CIM),
and attach it to the user ports of the 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.
Computer Interface Modules (CIMs)
Can I use Computer Interface
Modules (CIMs) from
Raritan’s analog matrix KVM
switch, Paragon, with
Dominion KX II?
Yes. Certain Paragon computer interface modules (CIMs) may work
with Dominion KX II (please check the Raritan Dominion KX II release
notes on the web site for the latest list of certified CIMs).
However, because Paragon CIMs cost more than Dominion KX II CIMs
(as they incorporate technology for video transmission of up to 1000
feet [300 meters]), it is not generally advisable to purchase Paragon
CIMs for use with Dominion KX II. Also note that when connected to
Dominion KX II, Paragon CIMs transmit video at a distance of up to
150 feet, the same as Dominion KX II CIMs – not at 1000 feet [300
meters], as they do when connected to Paragon.
Can I use Dominion KX II
Computer Interface Modules
(CIMs) with Raritan’s analog
matrix KVM switch, Paragon?
No. Dominion KX II computer interface modules (CIMs) transmit video
at ranges of 50 to 150 feet (15 – 45 m) and thus do not work with
Paragon, which requires CIMs that transmit video at a range of 1000
feet (300 meters). To ensure that all Raritan’s customers experience
the very best quality video available in the industry – a consistent
Raritan characteristic – Dominion Series CIMs do not interoperate with
Paragon.
