Keyboard - attach either a standard keyboard to the
Mini-DIN6 (female) keyboard port, or a standard USB
keyboard to one of the USB Type A (female) ports
Mouse - attach either a standard mouse to the Mini-DIN6
(female) mouse port, or a standard USB mouse to one of
the USB Type A (female) ports
E. Target Server Ports
The KX II uses standard UTP cabling (Cat5/5e/6) to connect
to each target server.
For information on the supported distances between the KX II
and target server, see Supported Target Server Connection
Distance/Refresh Rate/Video Resolution in the online help
or user guide. If you are using digital CIMs (DCIMs), review
Digital CIM Target Server Timing and Video Resolution in
the online help or user guide.
To connect a target server to the KX II:
1. Use the appropriate CIM or DCIM. Attach the video
connector of your CIM/DCIM to the video port of your
target server. Ensure that your target server's video is
configured to a supported resolution and refresh rate. For
Sun servers, ensure your target server's video card is set
to output standard VGA (H-and-V sync) and not composite
sync.
2. Attach the keyboard/mouse connector of your CIM/DCIM
to the corresponding ports on your target server. Use a
DCIM if you are connecting from the target server video
port to the KX II.
3. Attach the CIM to an available server port on the back of
the KX II. Use a standard, straight-through UTP
(Cat5/5e/6) cable for CIMs, or standard USB cable for
DCIMs.
Note: The DCIM-USB G2 provides a small slide switch on the
back of the CIM. Move the switch to P for PC-based USB
target servers. Move the switch to S for Sun USB target
servers. Power-cycle the CIM by removing the USB connector
from the target server, then plugging it back in a few seconds
later in order to apply the new switch position.

Step 4: Configure the KX II
Aside from the initial setup of the IP address, all other KX II
settings can be configured via a web browser over the
network using a crossover Ethernet cable and the KX II's
default IP address. This requires the currently supported Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) version is installed the
workstation.
Changing the Default Password
The KX II ships with a default password. The first time you
start the KX II you are required to change that password.
To change the default password:
1. Once the unit has booted, enter the default username
(admin) and password (raritan). Click Login.
2. Enter the old password (raritan), then enter and reenter a
new password. Passwords can be up to 64 characters in
length consisting of English, alphanumeric and special
characters.
3. Click Apply. Click OK on the Confirmation page.
Note: The default password can also be changed from the
Raritan Multi-Platform Client (MPC).
Assigning an IP Address
To assign the KX II an IP address on the KX II Network
Settings page:
1. Choose Device Settings > Network. The Network Settings
page opens.
2. Specify a meaningful Device Name for your KX II device.
Up to 32 alphanumeric characters and valid special
characters, no spaces between characters.
3. In the IPv4 section, enter or select the appropriate
IPv4-specific network settings:
a. Enter the IP Address if needed. The default IP address
is 192.168.0.192.
b. Enter the Subnet Mask. The default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
c. Enter the Default Gateway if None is selected from the
IP Auto Configuration drop-down.
d. Enter the Preferred DHCP Host Name if DHCP is
selected from the IP Auto Configuration drop-down.
e. Select the IP Auto Configuration. The following options
are available:
None (Static IP) - This option requires that you
manually specify the network parameters. This is the
recommended option because the KX II is an
infrastructure device and its IP address should not
change.
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used
by networked computers (clients) to obtain unique IP
addresses and other parameters from a DHCP server.
With this option, network parameters are assigned by
the DHCP server. If DHCP is used, enter the Preferred
host name (DHCP only). Up to 63 characters.
4. If using IPv6, enter or select the appropriate IPv6-specific
network settings in the IPv6 section:
a. Select the IPv6 checkbox to activate the fields in the
section and enable IPv6 on the device.
b. Enter a Global/Unique IP Address. This is the IP
address assigned to the KX II.
c. Enter the Prefix Length. This is the number of bits
used in the IPv6 address.
d. Enter the Gateway IP Address.
