Dominion KX II – Frequently Asked Questions

What CIM should I use for a

particular server?

Consult the CIM Guide available with the KX II documentation. Note that DVI,

HDMI and DisplayPort video standards are supported with the new digital video

CIMs, available as of Release 2.5.

How long is the hardware

warranty for the KX II?

The Dominion KX II comes with a standard two-year warranty, which can be

extended to 5 years of warranty coverage.

Miscellaneous

What is Dominion KX II’s

default IP address?

192.168.0.192

What is Dominion KX II’s

default username and

password?

The Dominion KX II’s default username and password are admin/raritan (all

lower case). However, for the highest level of security, the Dominion KX II forces

the administrator to change the Dominion KX II default administrative username

and password when the unit is first booted up.

I changed and subsequently

forgot Dominion KX II’s

administrative password;

can you retrieve it for me?

Dominion KX II contains a hardware reset button that can be used to factory

reset the device, which will reset the administrative password on the device to

the default password.

How do I migrate from the

Dominion KX I to Dominion

KX II?

In general, KX I customers can continue to use their existing switches for many

years. As their data centers expand, customers can purchase and use the new

KX II models. Raritan’s centralized management appliance, CommandCenter

Secure Gateway (CC-SG), and the Multiplatform Client (MPC) both support KX I

and KX II switches seamlessly.

Will my existing KX I CIMs

work with Dominion KX II

switches?

Yes. Existing KX I CIMs will work with the Dominion KX II switch. In addition,

select Paragon CIMs will work with the KX II. This provides an easy migration to

KX II for Paragon I customers who wish to switch to KVM over IP. However, you

may want to consider the D2CIM-VUSB and D2CIM-DVUSB CIMs that support

virtual media and Absolute Mouse Synchronization. Additionally, digital video

CIMs supporting DVI, HDMI, and Display Port are also available.
