Manageability
Question Answer
Can the Dominion KX
be remotely managed
and configured via web
browser? Yes. The Dominion KX can be completely configured remotely
via web browser. Note that this does require that your
workstation have Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2 installed.
Besides the initial setting of the Dominion KX's IP address,
everything about the solution can be completely set up over the
network. (In fact, using a crossover Ethernet cable and the
Dominion KX's default IP address, you can even configure even
the initial settings configured via web browser.)
Can I backup and
restore the Dominion
KX's configuration? Yes, the Dominion KX's device and user configurations can be
completely backed up for later restoration in the event of a
catastrophe. More commonly, this functionality is also very
useful for configuring multiple Dominion KX units if you have
not deployed Raritan's CC-SG centralized management device.
You can back up the user configuration and restore it on
remaining units.
The Dominion KX's backup and restore functionality can be
utilized remotely over the network; in fact, via a web browser.
What auditing or
logging does the
Dominion KX offer? For complete accountability, the Dominion KX logs all major user
events with a date and time stamp. For instance, reported events
include (but are not limited to): user login, user logout, user
access of a particular server, unsuccessful login, configuration
changes, etc
Can the Dominion KX
integrate with syslog? Yes, for your convenience, in addition to the Dominion KX's own
internal logging capabilities, the Dominion KX can also send the
following logged events to a centralized syslog server:
Network
Admin
Error
Text
System
Can the Dominion KX's
internal clock be
synchronized with a
timeserver? Yes, the Dominion KX supports the industry-standard NTP
protocol for synchronization with either your corporate
timeserver, or with any public time server [assuming that
outbound NTP requests are allowed through your corporate
firewall].
