C. Local User Port (Local PC) and Local Admin Port

For convenient access to KVM target servers and serial devices while at the rack, use the Dominion KSX Local Access port. While the local port is required for installation and setup, it is optional for subsequent use. The local port provides the Dominion KSX Local Console graphical user interface for administration and target server access.

To connect the Local User port:

Attach a multi-sync VGA monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the respective Local User ports (using either a PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse).

Connection	Description
Monitor	Attach a standard multi-sync VGA monitor to the HD15 (female) video port.
Keyboard	Attach either a standard PS/2 keyboard to the Mini-DIN6 (female) keyboard port, or a standard USB keyboard to one of the USB Type A (female) ports.
Mouse	Attach either a standard PS/2 mouse to the Mini-DIN6 (female) mouse port or a standard USB mouse to one of the USB Type A (female) ports.

You can use the Local Admin port to connect the Dominion KSX directly to a workstation to manage your serial targets and configure the system with a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal. The Local Admin port requires the use of a standard null modem cable.

Note: When local Authorization and Authentication is set to None, logging in to serial admin console requires username input.
