72 DOMINION KX USER GUIDE
Local Factory and Password Reset
If you forget the administrator password, there is currently no way to reset it to factory default to gain
access. However, you can hard-reset a Dominion KX unit with this special user name and password, as
described below.
Type the username admin and the password R*E*S*E*T. This password is case-sensitive.
This username and password work only from your local access port. When working remotely, only the
actual password assigned to admin will gain access.
When this sequence is recognized, the device will not
allow access as usual, but will perform the
specified reset action as specified in the KX Manager Security Settings panel.
Selecting Servers
Accessing the OSD
To select a server for controlling at the Local Console Port, access the OSD:
If you are presently logged out of the Local Console Port: Type a valid username and password,
and the OSD appears.
If a server is presently already selected: Press the OSD “Hot Key” <Scroll Lock> twice rapidly to
access the OSD.
Important: The Local Console Port OSD Hotkey is <Scroll Lock> <Scroll Lock> (this combination
can be changed via the OSD).
Server Display Options
While you operate the Local Console Port, Dominion KX will display a list of those servers to which you
have permission to access.
Figure 69 Local Server Display
Your servers can be sorted and displayed by two different parameters:
Select by Channel: Press <F2> while in the OSD to display your servers listed in numerical order, as
determined by the physical Dominion KX server port to which they are connected.
Select by Name: Press <F12> while in the OSD to display your servers listed in alphabetical order by
name.
Access a Server
While viewing the Server Display in the OSD, press the <Ç> and <È> arrow keys to scroll through the list
of servers. Eight servers are listed per page, and if your list spans multiple pages, press the <PgUp> and
<PgDown> keys to scroll between screens.
Select a server (when the server is highlighted with the yellow bar) you want to access and press
<ENTER>. The OSD disappears and you are connected directly to the server you have selected.
To return to the OSD, press the “hotkey” (<Scroll Lock>) twice rapidly.
