28 DOMINION KX USER GUIDE
Remote KVM Console Control
Once you establish a connection with a Dominion KX unit, that unit’s icon in the RRC Navigator expands
to display all ports enabled for remote access.
Figure 28 Navigation Tree
There are a few ways to establish a remote KVM console connection:
• Double-click on the KVM port you want to control
• Right-click on the port and select Switch from the shortcut menu
• Right-click on the port and select New Connection from the shortcut menu.
Selecting the first or second option above closes any previous connection before connecting to the new port,
while selecting the third option allows you to connect to the selected port without closing any previous
connections, creating a new connection if the device supports multiple concurrent connections (KX2 and
KX4 devices allow multiple concurrent connections).
Once connected, Dominion KX displays real-time video output by the target server that is connected to
your Dominion KX KVM port. This video is compressed and encrypted according to the configuration
settings specified by the Administrator (please see Chapter 4). You now have complete, low-level control
of the KVM console as if you were physically connected to the server.
To close a connection, on the Connection menu, click Close, or right-click on the KVM port and click
Disconnect on the shortcut menu that appears.
