Dominion KSX Local Console Local Port Settings

From the Local Port Settings page, you can customize many settings for the Dominion KSX Local Console including keyboard, local port hot key, video switching delay, power save mode, local user interface resolution settings, and local user authentication.

Note: This feature is available only on the Dominion KSX Local Console.

To configure the local port settings:

1. Choose Device Settings > Local Port Settings. The Local Port Settings page opens.
2. Choose the appropriate keyboard type from among the options in the drop-down list:
   • US
   • US/International
   • United Kingdom
   • French (France)
   • German (Germany)
   • JIS (Japanese Industry Standard)
   • Simplified Chinese
   • Traditional Chinese
   • Dubeolsik Hangul (Korean)
   • German (Switzerland)
   • Norwegian (Norway)
   • Swedish (Sweden)
   • Danish (Denmark)
   • Belgian (Belgium)

     Note: Keyboard use for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean is for display only. Local language input is not supported at this time for Dominion KSX Local Console functions.

3. Choose the local port hotkey. The local port hotkey is used to return to the Dominion KSX Local Console interface when a target server interface is being viewed. The default is to Double Click Scroll Lock, but you can select any key combination from the drop-down list:

1. Set the Video Switching Delay from between 0 - 5 seconds, if necessary. Generally 0 is used unless more time is needed (certain monitors require more time to switch the video).
2. If you would like to use the power save feature:
   1. Select the Power Save Mode checkbox.
   2. Set the amount of time (in minutes) in which Power Save Mode will be initiated.
3. Choose the resolution for the Dominion KSX Local Console from the drop-down list:
   • 800x600
   • 1024x768
   • 1280x1024
4. Choose the refresh rate from the drop-down list:
   • 60 Hz
   • 75 Hz
5. Choose the type of local user authentication:
   • Local/LDAP/RADIUS. This is the recommended option. For more information about authentication, see Remote Authentication.
   • None. There is no authentication for Local Console access. This option is recommended for secure environments only.
6. Select the "Ignore CC managed mode on local port" checkbox if you would like local user access to the Dominion KSX even when the device is under CC-SG management.

   Note: If you initially choose not to ignore CC Manage mode on the local port but later want local port access, you will have to remove the device from under CC-SG management (from within CC-SG). You will then be able to check this checkbox.

7. Click OK.
