When you are at the server rack, the Dominion KX provides standard
KVM switch functionality via its Local Console, which feature onscreen
display (OSD) for quick, convenient switching between servers. The
Dominion KX Local Console provides a direct analog connection to your
connected servers. Using the Local Console, the performance is same as
if you were directly connected to the server's keyboard, mouse, and
video ports.

Dominion's Local Console supports the following language keyboards:
US, UK, German, and French (remote ports support US, US
International, UK, German, French, and Japanese).

Important: By default, the KX sometimes sends a left-shift key to
“wake up” targets from power-save or screen-save mode. However, on
some targets this can interfere with BIOS entry during bootup. To
disable this behavior, go to the User Security page and set the option
"Disable Auto Scrn Clr" to Yes.
