KX II Quick Setup Guide 4
QSG-DKX2-v2.2.0-0G-E y 255-62-4022-00
The KX2-832 and KX2-864 also provide you with an Extended
Local port, labeled EXT LOCAL on the back of the device, for
access to target servers while at the rack. The Extended Local
port is not required for the initial installation and setup. It is
configured from the Local Console and Remote Console.
To connect the local port:
• Attach a multi-sync VGA monitor, mouse, and keyboard to
the respective Local User ports using either a PS/2 or
USB keyboard and mouse (DKX2-832 and DKX2-864
provide USB only). The physical connections for the Local
User and Extended Local ports can be found on the back
panel of the KX II.
Connection Description
Monitor Attach a standard multi-sync VGA monitor
to the HD15 (female) video port.
Keyboard Attach either a standard PS/2 keyboard to
the Mini-DIN6 (female) keyboard port, or a
standard USB keyboard to one of the USB
Type A (female) ports.
Mouse Attach either a standard PS/2 mouse to
the Mini-DIN6 (female) mouse port or a
standard USB mouse to one of the USB
Type A (female) ports.
E. Target Server Ports
The KX II uses standard UTP cabling (Cat5/5e/6) to connect
to each target server.
To connect a target server to the KX II:
1. Use the appropriate Computer Interface Module (CIM).
2. Attach the HD15 video connector of your CIM to the video
port of your target server. Ensure that your target server's
video has already been configured to a supported
resolution and refresh rate. For Sun servers, also ensure
that your target server's video card has been set to output
standard VGA (H-and-V sync) and not composite sync.
3. Attach the keyboard/mouse connector of your CIM to the
corresponding ports on your target server. Using a
standard straight-through UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cable, connect
the CIM to an available server port on the back of your KX
II device.
Note: The DCIM-USB G2 provides a small slide switch on the
back of the CIM. Move the switch to P for PC-based USB
target servers. Move the switch to S for Sun USB target
servers.
A new switch position takes effect only after the CIM is power-
cycled. To power-cycle the CIM, remove the USB connector
from the target server and plug it back in a few seconds later.
QS Rule
Step 4: Configure the KX II
Changing the Default Password
The KX II ships with a default password. The first time you
start the KX II you are required to change that password.
To change the default password:
1. Power on the KX II using the power switch(s) at the back
of the unit. Wait for the KX II unit to boot. (A beep signals
that the boot is complete.)
2. Once the unit has booted, the KX II Local Console is
visible on the monitor attached to the KX II local port. Type
the default username (admin) and password (raritan) and
click Login. The Change Password screen is displayed.
3. Type your old password (raritan) in the Old Password
field.
4. Type a new password in the New Password field and
retype the new password in the Confirm New Password
field. Passwords can be up to 64 characters in length and
can consist of English, alphanumeric characters as well as
special characters.
5. Click Apply.
6. You will receive confirmation that the password was
successfully changed. Click OK. The Port Access page is
displayed.
Assigning an IP Address
These procedures describe how to assign an IP address on
the Network Settings page.
1. Choose Device Settings > Network. The Network Settings
page opens.
2. Specify a meaningful Device Name for your KX II device.
Up to 32 alphanumeric characters that are valid special
characters. No spaces.
3. In the IPv4 section, enter or select the appropriate IPv4-
specific network settings:
a. Enter the IP Address if needed. The default IP address
is 192.168.0.192.
b. Enter the Subnet Mask. The default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
c. Enter the Default Gateway if None is selected from the
IP Auto Configuration drop-down.
d. Enter the Preferred DHCP Host Name if DHCP is
selected from the IP Auto Configuration drop-down.
e. Select the IP Auto Configuration. The following options
are available:
None (Static IP) - This option requires that you
manually specify the network parameters. This is the
recommended option because the KX II is an
infrastructure device and its IP address should not
change.
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used
by networked computers (clients) to obtain unique IP
addresses and other parameters from a DHCP server.
