14. To further minimize network bandwidth for lower bandwidth situations, set the “Noise Filter” on the “Video Settings” panel in the
remote clients above the default value of 2 - values of 3 or 4 are recommended.
15. In general, most administrative functions are available on the remote and local consoles. But some functions, by their nature,
are only available on one console. For example, “Factory Reset” and the “Local Port Settings” are available on the local port.
Firmware Update, Backup and Restore, and certain KX II Device Diagnostics features are available from the remote client.
16. IPv6 usage notes. IPv4 networking is the factory default. Enable IPv6 on the Network Settings panel for IPv6/IPv4 “dual stack”
operation. IPv6 is available in standalone configuration. Access of remote ISO images in a virtual media connection via IPv6
is not supported due to third party software limitations. IPv6 with Apple MAC OS Leopard is not supported.
17. External modem usage. The Standalone Multi-Platform Client, available in the firmware section of raritan.com, must be used for
modem connections. In order to enhance performance, modem connections are established with 4 bit grey and 33 Kbps
connection parameters. Firmware upgrade over a modem connection is not supported.
Recommended modems include: US Robotics (USR) 56K 5686E, Sportster 56K and Courier 56K; and ZOOM v90 & v92.
Modem sessions not currently supported from Apple MAC and Linux clients. For best results, when connecting remotely via an
external modem to a KX II connected to a USR modem, the remote modem should be the same type of USR modem. Consult
the User Guide for more information.
18. When changing the various user management, device and security settings, please remember to click the “OK” button at the end
of the page to save and activate your changes.
19. SUN Backgrounds: Some of the SUN background screens may not center precisely on certain SUN servers, i.e. those
backgrounds with dark borders (e.g. NoBackDrop). Use another background or place a light colored icon in the upper left hand
corner.
20. An apostrophe (‘) is no longer an allowed character for port (CIM) names.
21. For Mac OS, the Safari
™
browser is certified for use in KX Release 2.2. Absolute Mouse Synchronization is required for Mac
servers. The “Mac OS-X (10.4.9 and later)” USB profile should be enabled for the specific port on the Port Configurations page.
