Ethernet and IP Networking
Does the Dominion KX II offer dual gigabit Ethernet ports to provide
redundant fail-over?
Yes. The Dominion KX II features dual gigabit Ethernet ports to provide
redundant failover capabilities. Should the primary Ethernet port (or the
switch/router to which it is connected) fail, the Dominion KX II will failover
to the secondary network port with the same IP address, ensuring that
server operations are not disrupted. Note that automatic failover must be
enabled by the administrator.
What is the speed of the Dominion KX II's Ethernet interfaces?
The Dominion KX II supports gigabit as well as 10/100 Ethernet. The
Dominion KX II supports two 10/100/1000 speed Ethernet interfaces,
with configurable speed and duplex settings (either autodetected or
manually set).
Does the Dominion KX II offer dual gigabit Ethernet ports to provide
redundant failover or load balancing?
Yes. Dominion KX II features dual gigabit Ethernet ports to provide
redundant failover capabilities. Should the primary Ethernet port (or the
switch/router to which it is connected) fail, Dominion KX II will failover to
the secondary network port with the same IP address – ensuring that
server operations are not disrupted. Note that automatic failover must be
enabled by the administrator.
Can I access the Dominion KX II over a wireless connection?
Yes. The Dominion KX II not only uses standard Ethernet, but also very
conservative bandwidth with very high quality video. Thus, if a wireless
client has network connectivity to the Dominion KX II, servers can be
configured and managed at BIOS-level wirelessly.
Can the Dominion KX II be used over the WAN (Internet), or just
over the corporate LAN?
Whether via a fast corporate LAN, the less predictable WAN (Internet),
cable modem or dial-up modem, the Dominion KX II's KVM-over-IP
technology can accommodate the connection.
Can I use the Dominion KX II with a VPN?
Yes, the Dominion KX II uses standard Internet Protocol (IP)
technologies from Layer 1 through Layer 4. Traffic can be easily tunneled
through standard VPNs.
Can I use Dominion KX II with a proxy server?
Yes. The Dominion KX II can be used with a SOCKS proxy server,
assuming the remote client PC is configured appropriately. Contact the
user documentation or online help for more information.
