Manageability
Q. Can Dominion KX be
remotely managed and
configured via web browser?
A. Yes. Dominion KX can be completely configured remotely via Web browser. Note that
this does require that your workstation have Java Runtime Environment 1.4.x (or later)
installed.
Besides the initial setting of Dominion KX’s IP address, everything about the solution can
be completely set up over the network. (In fact, using a crossover Ethernet cable and
Dominion KX’s can configure even the initial settings configured via Web browser.)
Q. Can I backup and restore
Dominion KX’s configuration?
A. Yes, Dominion KX’s configuration can be completely backed up for later restoration in
the event of a catastrophe. More commonly, this functionality is also very useful for
configuring multiple Dominion KX units if you have not deployed Raritan’s
CommandCenter centralized management appliance (i.e., configure one unit completely,
back up its configuration, and then “restore” it to all remaining units).
Dominion KX’s backup and restore functionality can be utilized remotely over the network;
in fact, via a Web browser.
Q. What auditing or logging
does Dominion KX offer?
A. For complete accountability, Dominion KX logs all major user events with a date and
time stamp. For instance, reported events include (but are not limited to): user login, user
logout, user access of a particular server, unsuccessful login, configuration changes, etc
Q. Can Dominion KX integrate
with syslog?
A. Yes, for your convenience, in addition to Dominion KX’s own internal logging
capabilities, Dominion KX can also send all logged events to a centralized syslog server.
Q. Can Dominion KX’s internal
clock be synchronized with a
timeserver?
A. Yes, Dominion KX supports the industry-standard NTP protocol for synchronization
with either your corporate timeserver, or with any public time server [assuming that
outbound NTP requests are allowed through your corporate firewall].
Q. Does the power supply
used by Dominion KX
automatically detect voltage
settings?
A. Yes, Dominion KX’s power supply can be used in any AC voltage ranges from 88–264
volts, at 47–63 Hz.

default IP address?

subsequently forgot Dominion
