Step 6: Configure Tiering (Optional)
The optional tiering feature allows you to connect tiered KX II
devices to a base KX II. You can then access the servers and
PX PDUs through the base both locally and remotely. See the
Device Management section of the KX II Help for more
information on this feature.
Connect from a target server port on the base device to the
tier KX II Local Access port video/keyboard/mouse ports using
a D2CIM-DVUSB.
If the tier device is a KX2-832 or KX2-864, connect from a
target server port on the base device directly to the tier
KX2-832/KX2-864 Extended Local port.
To enable tiering:
1. From the tier base, choose Device Settings > Device
Services. The Device Service Settings page appears.
2. Select Enable Tiering as Base.
3. In the Base Secret field, enter the secret shared between
the base and the tiered devices. This secret is required for
the tiered devices to authenticate the base device. You will
enter the same secret word for the tiered device.
4. Click OK.
5. Enable the tiered devices. From the tiered device, choose
Device Settings > Local Port Settings.
6. In the Enable Local Ports section of the page, select
Enable Local Port Device Tiering.
7. In the Tier Secret field, enter the same secret word you
entered for the base device on the Device Settings page.
8. Click OK.
