Sun Solaris Settings
To configure KVM target servers running Sun
®
Solaris
™
:
1. Set the mouse acceleration value to exactly 1 and the
threshold to exactly 1.
2. Ensure that your video card is set to a supported
resolution and that its output is VGA, not composite sync.
Apple Macintosh Settings
To configure KVM target servers running Sun
®
Solaris
™
:
For KVM target servers running an Apple Macintosh
®
operating system, the preferred method is to use the D2CIM-
VUSB and Absolute Mouse Synchronization.
Note: 'USB Profile 'Mac OS-X, version 10.4.9 and later' must
be select from the USB Profile menu or the Port Configuration
page.
IBM AIX Settings
To configure KVM target servers running IBM AIX
®
:
• Go to the Style Manager, click on Mouse Settings and set
Mouse Acceleration to 1.0 and Threshold to 3.0.

Step 2: Configure Network Firewall Settings
To enable remote access to the KX II, your network and
firewall must allow communication on TCP Port 5000. You
can also configure the KX II to use a different TCP port, then
allow communication on that port.
To access the KX II via a web browser, your firewall must also
allow access to TCP Port 443 (Standard HTTPS). Access to
TCP Port 80 (Standard HTTP) enables automatic redirection
of HTTP requests to HTTPS.

Step 3: Connect the Equipment
A. AC Power
To connect the power supply:
1. Attach the included AC power cord to the KX II and plug
into an AC power outlet.
2. For dual power failover protection, attach the second
included AC power cord and plug it into a different power
source than the first power cord.
Note: If you only attach one power cord, the power LED on
the KX II front panel will be red because the system is set to
automatically detect both sources. See Power Supply Setup
in the KX II help for information about turning off automatic
detection for the power source that is not in use.
B. Modem Port (Optional)
Please see the KX II User Guide for information on connecting
modems.
C. Network Port
The KX II provides two Ethernet ports for failover purposes
(not for load-balancing). By default, only LAN1 is active and
the automatic failover is disabled. When enabled, if the KX II
internal network interface or the network switch to which it is
connected becomes unavailable, LAN2 will be enabled using
the same IP address.
Note: Because a failover port is not activated until after a
failover has actually occurred, Raritan recommends that you
either not monitor the failover port or monitor it only after a
failover occurs.
To connect the network:
1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable (included) from the
network port labeled LAN1 to an Ethernet switch, hub, or
router.
2. To make use of the optional KX II Ethernet failover
capabilities:
 Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the network
port labeled LAN2 to an Ethernet switch, hub, or
router.
 Enable Automatic Failover on the Network
Configuration page.
Note: Use both network ports only if you want to use one as a
failover port.
D. Local Access Port (Local PC)
For convenient access to target servers while at the rack, use
the KX II Local Access port. While the Local Access port is
required for installation and setup, it is optional for subsequent
use. The Local Access port also provides a graphical user
interface from the KX II Local Console for administration and
target server access.
