Encryption mode Description

AES-256 The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a

National Institute of Standards and Technology

specification for the encryption of electronic

data; 256 is the key length. When AES-256 is

specified, be certain that your browser supports

it, otherwise you will not be able to connect. See

Checking Your Browser for AES Encryption

(on page 209) for more information.

Note: If you are running Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Internet

Explorer 7 cannot connect remotely to the Dominion KX II using AES-

128 encryption.

• Apply Encryption Mode to KVM and Virtual Media. When selected,

this option applies the selected encryption mode to both KVM and

virtual media. After authentication, KVM and virtual media data is

also transferred with 128-bit encryption.

• PC Share Mode. Determines global concurrent remote KVM access,

enabling up to eight remote users to simultaneously log on to one

Dominion KX II and concurrently view and control the same target

server through the device. Click the drop-down list to select one of

the following options:

 Private: No PC share; this is the default mode. Each target server

can be accessed exclusively by only one user at a time.

 PC-Share: KVM target servers can be accessed by up to eight

users (administrator or non-administrator) at one time. Each

remote user has equal keyboard and mouse control, however,

note that uneven control will occur if one user does not stop

typing or moving the mouse.

• VM Share Mode. This option is enabled only when PC-Share mode

is enabled. When selected, this option permits the sharing of virtual

media among multiple users, that is, several users can access the

same virtual media session. The default is disabled.

• Local Device Reset Mode. This option specifies which actions are

taken when the hardware Reset button (at the back of the device) is

depressed. For more information, see Resetting the Dominion KX
