the HD15 (female) video port
Keyboard - attach a standard USB keyboard to one of
the USB Type A (female) ports
Mouse - attach a standard USB mouse to one of the

D. Target Server Ports
To connect a target server to the LX:
1. Use the appropriate CIM or DCIM.
2. Attach the UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cable of your CIM to the video
port of your target server. Ensure that your target server's
video is already configured to a supported resolution and
refresh rate. For Sun servers, ensure that your target
server's video card is set to output standard VGA
(H-and-V sync) and not composite sync.
3. Attach the keyboard/mouse connector of your CIM to the
corresponding ports on your target server. Using a
standard straight-through UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cable, connect
the CIM to an available server port on the back of your LX
device.
E. Modem (Optional)
Please see the LX Online Help for information on connecting
modems.
QS Rule
Step 4: Configure the LX
For the following steps, you must change the default
password and assign the LX its IP address at the Local
Console.
All other steps can be performed from either the Local
Console, or from the LX Remote Console via a supported web
browser using the LX's default IP address.
Java 1.7
™
is required to use the Java-based LX Virtual KVM
Client (VKC) and Multi-Platform Client (MPC)..
Microsoft .NET
®
3.5 (or later) is required to use LX with the
Microsoft Windows
®
-based Active KVM Client (AKC).
Change the Default Password
The first time you start the LX, you are required to change the
default 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.
Assign the LX an IP Address
To assign an IP address to the LX:
1. Choose Device Settings > Network. The Network Settings
page opens.
2. Specify a meaningful Device Name for your LX device.
Up to 32 alphanumeric and valid special characters, no
spaces between characters.
3. Next, configure the IPv4, IPv6 and DNS settings.
Configure the IPv4 Settings
1. 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 you manually
specify the network parameters.
This is the recommended option because the LX is an
infrastructure device, and its IP address should not
change.
Select this option if you want to ensure redundant
failover capabilities should the primary Ethernet port
(or the switch/router to which it is connected) fail. If it
fails, KX III fails over to the secondary network port
with the same IP address, ensuring there is not
interruption.
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.
2. Next, configure IPv6 and/or DNS settings.
Configure the IPv6 Settings
1. 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 LX.
c. Enter the Prefix Length. This is the number of bits
used in the IPv6 address.
