Hardware Features

Multiple power options: Power over Ethernet (Mid Span Power Insertion or Signal Pair Power Insertion) and AC/DC power adapter.

The serial Admin console port provides an efficient way for the user to conduct configuration and diagnostics of the KX101, as well as, recover the factory default configuration.

Versatile rack mounting bracket for horizontal mounting, accommodating U size target servers, or vertical unit mounting on either side of the rack.

Enables quick installation of Dominion KX101 to the target server via a video connection and an integrated USB or PS2, keyboard and mouse "pigtail" attachment.

On most Operating Systems the KX101 keyboard and mouse connections can be hot plugged. Additionally, KX101 can be swapped while the target server is still on, thus minimizing server downtime.

With embedded Keyboard and Mouse emulation (KME) circuitry, the server will boot up properly while the KX101 is attached to it, even if the KX101 does not have power.

Connectivity Features

Provides an always available, user assigned, KVM-over-IP port to allow unblocked access to a target server.

Extends Raritan's superior KVM Interface Module (KIM) video compression circuitry, allowing users to access Dominion KX101 from anywhere on the network (LAN, WAN, Internet), to troubleshoot, reconfigure, reboot and conduct overall server maintenance remotely.

Client Access and Control

KX Manager provides the user with full capability of configuring the KX101 after it is connected to the network.

Raritan Remote Client (RRC) provides a comprehensive management software suite for a user to control and configure the KX101 and access the target KVM on Windows OS.

Raritan's Java based Multi-Platform Client (MPC) enables access to a wide variety of operating systems including Linux, Sun/Solaris and Macintosh.

Raritan's client software is automatically downloaded from the KX101; eliminating the need to install "client" software on each user desktop.

Client software supports major Web browsers including; Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape and Safari (Macintosh).

Utilizes a superior mouse synchronization method for Windows OS that eliminates periodic, manual or automatic mouse synchronization

Software Features

KX101 is a completely self-contained system (i.e. an appliance) requiring minimal configuration for quick and easy target access.

Improves on Raritan's award-winning KVM-over-IP technology with new 15-bit color support (32,000 colors), enabling higher video quality over the network.

Up to 8 users can remotely access the same server for teamed troubleshooting.

In auto detection mode video performance is automatically configured to match the available network bandwidth. Bandwidth may be configured manually, as well.

Security Features

Dominion KX101 securely encrypts the video stream in addition to keyboard and mouse data.

Integrates with industry-standard RADIUS and Active Directory servers by using RADIUS and LDAP protocols, respectively. This allows KX101 to authenticate users from existing accounts.

Supports remote authentication. Administrators can define users and groups with customizable administration and access permissions.

Video Resolution

Provides scalable resolutions as configured by operating systems and up to a maximum of 1600X1200 at 60Hz.

Management Features

Administrators can perform all management, administration, and configuration operations via a simple graphical user interface, from the convenience of their desktop.

Features complete CommandCenter integration, allowing enterprise users to consolidate all Dominion devices into a single logical system, with a single IP address and single management interface.

• How does Dominion KX101 work??
• What types of computers can be controlled remotely by Dominion KX101?
• How is Dominion KX101 administered?
• Are there security features to protect my target servers from an unauthorized remote connection?

Dominion KX101 connects to the keyboard, video, and mouse ports of a server. It captures, digitizes, and compresses the video signal before transmitting to a remote client PC using Raritan's powerful frame-grabber and compression technology. Dominion KX101 provided a rich set of features through its software management suite - KX Manager, Raritan Remote Client (RRC), Multi-Platform Client (MPC). It can also be centrally managed via CommandCenter SecureGateway (CC-SG).


Dominion KX101 works independently of a target server's hardware, operating system, or application software, accessing a target server's main input/output devices - keyboard, video, and mouse. Consequently, any hardware that supports standard PC keyboard and mouse interfaces, and standard PC video (VGA) can be used with Dominion KX101.


Administrators access Dominion KX101 by connecting to the Serial Admin Port. A simple keyboard driven interface of menus offer straightforward access to the setup and control of Dominion KX101. User profiles, security settings, configuration and diagnostics are just a few of the options available. The connection to the Serial Admin Port can be removed once the initial setup is complete, after which, all configuration may be performed remotely via web browser from the client PC.


Yes. KX101 provides many layers of security - connection authentication and data transfer security during a remote session. User names, passwords, private-keys are used to authenticate users. Dominion KX101 can authenticate users against the database locally resided on Dominion KX101, or against external AAA servers (LDAP, Active Directory, or RADIUS). All keyboard, video and mouse data are encrypted with 128bit SSL with RC4 decipher.
