Getting Started
KX II-101-V2 users with Microsoft

Internet Explorer
®
version 6 or
Windows 2000
®
must upgrade to Service Pack 4 (SP4) or higher.
The KX II-101-V2 ships with a static default IP address. On a network
without a DHCP server, you must configure a new static IP address, net
mask, and gateway address using either the KX II-101-V2 serial admin
console or the KX II-101-V2 Remote Console.
See Assigning an IP Address (on page 28) for information on assigning
an IP address to the KX II-101-V2 using the Remote Console. See
Configure the KX II-101-V2 Using a Terminal Emulation Program
(Optional) (on page 32) for information on setting an IP address using
the Serial Admin Console.
Step 1: Configure the Target Server
Before installing the KX II-101-V2, first configure the target server you
want to access via the KX II-101-V2 in order to ensure optimum
performance. Note that the following configuration requirements apply
only to the target server, not to the computers that you will be using to
access the KX II-101-V2 remotely.
Setting the Server Video Resolution
For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, a target server
running a graphical user interface such as Windows
®
, X-Windows
®
,
Solaris
™
, and KDE should be configured with desktop backgrounds set to
a predominantly solid, light-colored graphic. Backgrounds featuring
photos or complex gradients should be avoided.
Ensure that the server's video resolution and refresh rate are supported
by the KX II-101-V2 and that the signal is non-interlaced. The KX II-101-
V2 supports these resolutions:
