To configure the KX II-101 for use with a PS/2 target
server:
1. Use the attached PS/2 keyboard, video, and mouse
cabling to connect the KX II-101 to the target server.
2. Use the PS/2 cabling to attach the local keyboard, video,
and mouse to the Local User port of the KX II-101.
Note: The KX II-101 must be powered for the Local User
port to function.
3. If you require Virtual Media (VM) connectivity, connect the
mini-USB connector to the KX II-101 and the USB
connector to any USB port on the target server.
Network
Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the network port
labeled LAN to an Ethernet switch, hub, or router. The LAN
LEDs that appear above the Ethernet connection indicate
Ethernet activity. The yellow one blinks while the KX II-101 is
in use, indicating IP traffic at 10 Mbps. The green light
indicates a 100 Mbps connection speed.
Admin Port
The Admin port enables you to perform configuration and
setup for the KX II-101 using a terminal emulation program
like HyperTerminal. Plug the min-DIN end of the included
serial cable into the Admin port of the KX II-101 and plug the
DB9 end into a serial port on your PC or laptop. The serial
port communication settings should be configured to the
following:
• 115,200 Baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• No flow control
See Configure the KX II-101 Using a Terminal Emulation
Program the KX II-101 User Guide for more details.
Local User Port
The KX II-101 is available with optional video and PS/2 cables
(KX II-101-LPKVMC) that enable you to attach a keyboard
and mouse to the target server through the Local User port.
The Local User port serves as a pass-through to the target
server to which the KX II-101 is attached and has no other
purpose. The KX II-101 must be powered on to use the Local
User port.
For USB configurations, only the local video connects to the
target server at the Local User port. The keyboard and mouse
connect directly to the target server using USB ports.
Note: Only PS/2 host interface connectivity is supported on
the Local User port and you must restart the target server
after connecting to the KX II-101 using PS/2 connectors.
