Dominion KX II Quick Setup Guide 5
QSG-DKX2-v2.6.0-0N-E  255-62-4022-00-RoHS
a. Enter the IP Address if needed. The default IP address
is 192.168.0.192.
b. Enter the Subnet Mask. The default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
c. Enter the Default Gateway if None is selected from the
IP Auto Configuration drop-down.
d. Enter the Preferred DHCP Host Name if DHCP is
selected from the IP Auto Configuration drop-down.
e. Select the IP Auto Configuration. The following options
are available:
 None (Static IP) - This option requires you manually
specify the network parameters.
This is the recommended option because the KX II is
an infrastructure device, and its IP address should not
change.
Select this option if you want to ensure redundant
failover capabilities should the primary Ethernet port
(or the switch/router to which it is connected) fail. If it
fails, KX III fails over to the secondary network port
with the same IP address, ensuring there is not
interruption.
 DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used
by networked computers (clients) to obtain unique IP
addresses and other parameters from a DHCP server.
With this option, network parameters are assigned by
the DHCP server.
If DHCP is used, enter the Preferred host name
(DHCP only). Up to 63 characters.
2. Next, configure IPv6 and/or DNS settings.
Configure the IPv6 Settings
1. If using IPv6, enter or select the appropriate IPv6-specific
network settings in the IPv6 section:
a. Select the IPv6 checkbox to activate the fields in the
section and enable IPv6 on the device.
b. Enter a Global/Unique IP Address. This is the IP
address assigned to the KX II.
c. Enter the Prefix Length. This is the number of bits
used in the IPv6 address.
d. Enter the Gateway IP Address.
e. Link-Local IP Address. This address is automatically
assigned to the device, and is used for neighbor
discovery or when no routers are present. Read-Only
f. Zone ID. Identifies the device the address is
associated with. Read-Only
g. Select an IP Auto Configuration option:
 None (Static IP) - this option requires you manually
specify the network parameters.
This is the recommended option because the KX II is
an infrastructure device, and its IP address should not
change.
Select this option if you want to ensure redundant
failover capabilities should the primary Ethernet port
(or the switch/router to which it is connected) fail. If it
fails, KX III switches to the secondary network port with
the same IP address, ensuring their is no interruption.
If None is selected, the following Network Basic
Settings fields are enabled: Global/Unique IP Address,
Prefix Length, and Gateway IP Address allowing you
to manually set the IP configuration.
 Router Discovery - use this option to automatically
assign IPv6 addresses that have Global or Unique
Local significance beyond that of the Link Local, which
only applies to a directly connected subnet.
2. Next, configure DNS settings.
Configure the DNS Settings
1. Select Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically if DHCP
is selected and Obtain DNS Server Address is enabled.
When Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically, the DNS
information provided by the DHCP server will be used.
2. If Use the Following DNS Server Addresses is selected,
whether or not DHCP is selected, the addresses entered
in this section is used to connect to the DNS server.
Enter the following information if the Following DNS
Server Addresses is selected. These addresses are the
primary and secondary DNS addresses used if the primary
DNS server connection is lost due to an outage.
a. Primary DNS Server IP Address
b. Secondary DNS Server IP Address
3. When finished, click OK.
Your KX II device is now network accessible.
Name Your Target Servers
To name the target servers:
1. Connect all of the target servers if you have not already
done so.
2. Select Device Settings > Port Configuration, then click the
Port Name of the target server you want to name.
3. Enter a name for the server up to 32 alphanumeric and
special characters. Click OK.
Specify Power Supply Autodetection
The KX II provides dual power supplies.
When both power supplies are used, the KX II automatically
detects them and notifies you of their status.
Additionally, both the Powerln1 and Powerln2 Auto Detect
checkboxes are automatically selected on the Power Supply
Setup page.
If you are using only one power supply, you can enable
automatic detection for only the power supply in use.
