Windows
®
, Linux
®
, X-Windows, Solaris
™
, and KDE may
require configuration.
The desktop background does not need to 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.

Step 3: Connect the Equipment
A. AC Power
Connect the power supply(s):
1
Attach the included AC power cord to the KX II device,
and plug it into an AC power outlet.
2
For dual-power failover protection, attach the second
included AC power cord to the KX II device, and plug
it into a different power source than the first power
cord.
B. Modem Port (Optional)
Please see KX IIonline help for information on connecting
modems.
C. Network Port
KX II provides two Ethernet ports for failover purposes - not
for load-balancing.
By default, only LAN1 is active, and the automatic failover is
disabled.
Enable network failover if you want LAN2 to use the same IP
address should the KX II internal network interface or the
network switch it is connected to become unavailable.
To connect to the network:
1
Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the network port
labeled LAN1 to an Ethernet switch, hub, or router.
2
To use the optional KX II Ethernet failover capabilities:
Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the network port
labeled LAN2 to an Ethernet switch, hub, or router.
Enable 'Automatic Failover' on the KX II Network
Configuration page.
D. Local Access Port (Local PC)
For access to target servers at the rack, use the KX II Local
Access port.
