Step 4: Configure the KSX II
Change the Default Password
The KSX II ships with a default password. The first time you
start the KSX II you are required to change that password.
To change the default password:
1. Power ON the KSX II using the power switch at the back
of the device. Wait for the KSX II device to boot. (A beep
signals completion of the boot.)
2. Once the device has booted, the KSX II Local Console is
visible on the monitor attached to the KSX II local port.
Type the default username (admin) and password (raritan)
and click Login. The Change Password screen is
displayed.
3. Type your old password (raritan) in the Old Password
field.
4. Type a new password in the New Password field; retype
the new password in the Confirm New Password field.
Passwords can be up to 64 characters long and can
consist of English alphanumeric and printable special
characters.
5. Click Apply.
6. You will receive confirmation that the password was
successfully changed. Click OK. The Port Access page
opens.
Assigning an IP Address
To assign an IP address:
1. Choose Device Settings > Network. The Network Settings
page opens.
2. Specify a meaningful Device Name for your KSX II device.
Up to 32 alphanumeric characters using valid special
characters and no spaces.
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 KSX 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 IPv6 is to be used, enter or select the appropriate
IPv6-specific network settings in the IPv6 section:
