CHAPTER 3: RARITAN REMOTE CLIENT (RRC) 15
Raritan Multi-Platform Client (MPC)
Non-Windows users can now connect to target servers through the Dominion KX. MPC can be run via
Web browsers and standalone. Raritan MPC, depending on your browser, will launch automatically.
Instructions on its use are very similar to those of RRC and follow later in this chapter, and for further
instructions, please refer to Raritan’s MPC User Guide.
Optional: Installing Standalone RRC Client
Note: This step is optional. Dominion KX can be accessed from a Remote PC either by installing RRC
software, or by launching RRC via web browser (see previous section). Accessing Dominion KX via web
browser does not require any software installation on the Remote PC. This section lists the steps required
to invoke RRC using standalone software, which may be useful for accessing Dominion KX via modem or
if you wish to close firewall access to ports 80 and/or 443.
1. Launch your Web browser and go to Raritan’s Web site (www.raritan.com). Click Support in the top
navigation bar, and then click Firmware Upgrades in the left navigation bar (or type the URL
www.http://raritan.com/support/sup_upgrades.aspx).
2. Scroll down the page until you see the Dominion KX section.
3. Locate the appropriate version of the standalone RRC client for the KX Release you will be using.
4. The entry for the standalone RRC client is a .zip file which contains the release notes and the Installer
for Standalone RRC. Check the release notes for the latest information.
5. You can download the .zip file to your client machine or simply click on the .zip file entry.
6. Double-click on the Installer executable in the .zip file and follow the on-screen instructions in the
InstallShield Wizard to complete RRC installation on your Remote PC. Be sure to check the release
notes for the latest information and any release specific instructions.
7. Depending upon the configuration of your PC, the RRC installation program may also automatically
install DirectX and Microsoft Foundation Class libraries, if they are required. If so, you will be asked
to restart your PC after installation.
8. A Raritan Remote Client icon will appear on your desktop. Click on this icon to launch the standalone
RRC client.
9. The standalone client can be uninstalled in the Add or Remove Programs applet in the Windows
Control Panel. You must uninstall before installing a new version of Standalone RRC.
