How do I access servers connected to the Dominion KX II if the
network ever becomes unavailable?
The Dominion KX II's local ports always allow access to servers from the
rack, regardless of the network condition.
Do you have a non-Windows client?
Yes. Both the Virtual KVM Client and the Multi-Platform Client (MPC),
allow non-Windows users to connect to KVM target servers through the
Dominion KX I and Dominion KX II switches. MPC can be run via web
browsers and standalone. Refer to Virtual KVM Client (on page 49) and

Sometimes during a Virtual KVM Client session, the Alt key appears
to get stuck. What should I do?
This usually occurs in situations when the Alt key is held and not
released. For instance, continuing to press the Alt key while pressing the
space bar might cause the focus to change from the target server to the
client PC.
The local operating system then interprets this key combination and
consequently triggers the action for this key combination in the active
window (the client PC).
