Dominion® KX II
Quick Setup Guide
Thank you for your purchase of the KX II, the industry's most full-featured, enterprise-class, secure, digital KVM
(Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch.
This Quick Setup Guide explains how to install and configure the KX II. For additional information on any aspect of the
KX II, see the accompanying online help accessed from the KX II or from the KX II User Guide, which can be
downloaded from the Firmware and Documentation section of Raritan's website
(http://www.raritan.com/support/firmware-and-documentation/).
Step 1: Configure the KVM Target Servers
For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, KVM
target servers running graphical user interfaces such as
Windows, Linux, X-Windows, Solaris, and KDE require
configuration. The desktop background need not be
completely solid but desktop backgrounds featuring photos or
complex gradients might degrade performance.
Ensure that the server video resolution and refresh rate are
supported by KX II and that the signal is non-interlaced. The
KX II supports these resolutions:

Mouse Modes
The KX II operates in several mouse modes:
•
Absolute Mouse Mode

•
Intelligent Mouse Mode (do not use an animated mouse)
