Absolute Mouse Synchronization is required for proper mouse
synchronization on KVM target servers running a Mac

operating system.
In order for Absolute Mouse Synchronization to work, a virtual
media CIM is required. For a list of supported CIMs, see
Supported Computer Interface Module (CIMs) Specifications.

Step 3: Connect the Equipment
A. AC Power
Connect the power supply(s):
1. Attach the included AC power cord to the KX II, and plug it
into an AC power outlet.
2. For dual-power failover protection, attach the second
included AC power cord to the KX II, and plug it into a
different power source than the first power cord.
B. Modem Port (Optional)
Please see the KX II Online Help for information on
connecting modems.
C. Network Port
The KX II provides two Ethernet ports for failover purposes -
not for load-balancing.
By default, only LAN1 is active, and the automatic failover is
disabled.
Enable network failover if you want LAN2 to use the same IP
address should the KX II internal network interface or the
network switch it is connected to become unavailable.
To connect to the network:
1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the network port
labeled LAN1 to an Ethernet switch, hub, or router.
2. To use the optional KX II Ethernet failover capabilities:
a. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the network
port labeled LAN2 to an Ethernet switch, hub, or
router.
Enable 'Automatic Failover' on the KX II Network
Configuration page.
