Step 2: Configure Network Firewall Settings
To enable remote access to the KX II, your network and
firewall must allow communication on TCP Port 5000. You
can also configure the KX II to use a different TCP port, then
allow communication on that port.
To access the KX II via a web browser, your firewall must also
allow access to TCP Port 443 (Standard HTTPS). Access to
TCP Port 80 (Standard HTTP) enables automatic redirection
of HTTP requests to HTTPS.

Step 3: Connect the Equipment
Connect the KX II to the power supply, network, local PC, and
target servers. The letters in the diagram correspond to the
topics in this section that describe the connection.
A. AC Power
To connect the power supply:
1. Attach the included AC power cord to the KX II and plug
into an AC power outlet.
2. For dual power failover protection, attach the second
included AC power cord and plug it into a different power
source than the first power cord.
Note: If you only attach one power cord, the power LED on
the KX II front panel will be red because the system is set to
automatically detect both sources. See Power Supply Setup
in the KX II help for information about turning off automatic
detection for the power source that is not in use.
B. Modem Port (Optional)
Please see the KX II User Guide for information on connecting
modems.
C. Network Port
