44 DOMINION KX USER GUIDE
your firewall settings must enable two-way communication through the default port 5000 or the
non-default port configured above.
• Enable Syslog Forwarding: Click on this check box to the device’s log messages to a remote
syslog server. Type the IP Address of your syslog server in the Remote IP Address field and
click on the Category and Priority Threshold drop-down arrows to select the level of event
sensitivity.
• Set System ACL: Click to set a global-level access control list for your KX unit by ensuring that
your device does not respond to packets being sent from disallowed IP addresses. The Access
Control List window appears.
Figure 44 Access Control List Window
 These ACL values are global, affecting the KX unit as a whole. Your device allows you to
create ACLs for each user group, for example, you can create a user group “Outsourced
Vendors,” that is permitted to access Dominion KX only from a given IP address range
(please see the section Users, Groups, and Access Permissions in this chapter, for more
information on how to create group-specific ACLs).
 Click OK to accept the Access Control List changes or Cancel to close the window without
saving changes.
Important: Please note that ACL rules are evaluated in the order in which they are listed. For
instance, if in the above example, the two ACL rules were reversed, Dominion KX101 would
accept no communication at all. Use the buttons on the right of the window to adjust the order of
your list.
• Enable Automatic Failover: (Dominion KX only) Click on this check box to allow Dominion
KX to automatically recover its network connection using a second network port if the active
network port fails. Ping Interval determines how often Dominion KX will check the status of the
network connection (setting this too low may cause excess network traffic). Timeout determines
how long a network port must be “dead” before the switch is made. Both network ports must be
connected to the network and this option must be checked for Automatic Failover to function.
• SNMP: (KX101 only) Enable or Disable KX101 to send out SNMP status.
2. Click OK to set Network Configurations or click Cancel to close the window without saving changes.
3. When the Confirm Dialog window appears, click Restart Now to save changes to the KX unit and
restart the device, click Restart Later to save changes and restart the device at a later time (please
note that some changes require restarting the device), or click Cancel to return to the previous window..
