DominionKXIIReleaseNotes2.5  255-62-4026-00-0P RoHS
Release 2.5 Compatibility Information:
1. The above Dominion KX II models and Release 2.5 have been certified for use with CommandCenter
®
Secure Gateway (CC-SG)
Releases 5.2 and 5.3. Raritan recommends that customers upgrade to the CC-SG 5.3 or later release, for best results.
2. KX II devices can be remotely accessed by three KVM remote clients:
Remote Client Description Version
Virtual KVM Client (VKC)
Java-based client invoked from the
browser-based remote user interface.
KX II switches only.
Version 3.0.1
Multi-Platform Client (MPC)
Java-based MPC with traditional Raritan
user interface.
KX I and KX II switches.
Version 7.0.1
Active KVM Client (AKC)
Windows-based client invoked from the
browser-based remote user interface.
KX II switches only.
Version 1.0.4
3. SUN Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) versions 1.4.x and 1.5.x are not supported! JRE Version 1.7 is not currently
supported, but will be in future releases.
4. SUN Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) versions 1.6 is the supported version. The certified JRE 1.6 builds are:
1.6.0_17, 1.6.0_19, 1.6.0_20, 1.6.0_26, 1.6.0_27, 1.6.0_29
1.6.0_30, 1.6.0_30.b12, and 1.6.0_31
For best results, we recommend that Java Plug-in Caching is not enabled.
5. Internet Explorer 7, 8 & 9 are supported. IE 6 is no longer supported.
6. The Active KVM Client (AKC), the native Windows Client, requires Internet Explorer 7 or above and Microsoft .NET Framework
versions: 3.5, 4.0, 4.0 Client Profile, and 4.0 Extended Profile.
• Use a URL of the form: http[s]://<KX II address>/akc/.
• Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 desktops are supported.
7. AKC should be used with CC-SG 5.2 when using the Microsoft .NET version 4.0 Framework. Use CC-SG 5.3. If CC-SG
5.2 must be used, then the user should run AKC standalone once with the specific KX II before using AKC via CC-SG.
8. Firefox releases supported include: Firefox 4 and 6. Sanity testing was done on Firefox 7, 10 and 11. Safari 5.1 is
supported. Firefox version 11 requires JRE version 1.6.0_31, and blocks earlier JRE versions by default.
9. Firefox versions 4 through 11 have an issue with launching Java Applets using IPv6 addresses. Workaround is to use a
hostname or to create a user created security certificate, signed by a Certificate Authority for the KX II and imported it into the
Firefox certificate store, marking the certificate as "This certificate can identify websites."
10. The above JRE version information applies to the Dominion KX II when used standalone. When used with CC-SG, please
consult the CC-SG Release Notes and Compatibility Matrix.
11. For iPhone/iPad access, iOS version 4.x is required; we have tested with versions 4.2.1 and 4.3.1.
12. Due to browser/Java compatibility issues with Apple Mac OS 10.4/10.5, JRE 1.6 and Raritan's Java based KVM clients (MPC,
VKC), we recommend the following for customers on Apple Mac desktops (when the KVM Client is used there):
