How do I access servers
connected to Dominion KX
if the network ever becomes
unavailable?
Dominion KX offers a dedicated modem port for attaching an external
modem. With an externally connected modem, your servers can still be
remotely accessed in the event of a network emergency. Furthermore,
Dominion KX’s local ports always allow access to your servers from the
rack, no matter the network condition.
Do you have a non-Windows
client?
Yes, using Raritan’s Multi-platform Client (MPC), non-Windows users can
connect to target servers through the Dominion KX. MPC can be run via
Web browsers and standalone. Please refer to Raritan’s MPC User
Guide for more information.
