Encryption & Share

Using the Encryption & Share settings you can specify the type of encryption used, PC and VM share modes, and the type of reset performed when the Dominion KSX Reset button is pressed.

Choose one of the options from the Encryption Mode drop-down list. When an encryption mode is selected, a warning is displayed indicating that if your browser does not support the selected mode, you will not be able to connected to the Dominion KSX.

Encryption mode	Description
Auto	This is the recommended option; the Dominion KSX auto-negotiates to the highest level of encryption possible.
RC4	Secures user names, passwords and KVM data, including video transmissions using the RSA RC4 encryption method. This is a 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol which provides a private communications channel between the Dominion KSX and the Remote PC during initial connection authentication.
AES-128	The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a National Institute of Standards and Technology specification for the encryption of electronic data; 128 is the key length. When AES-128 is specified, be certain that your browser supports it, otherwise you will not be able to connect. Please refer to Checking Your Browser for AES Encryption for more information.
AES-256	The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a National Institute of Standards and Technology specification for the encryption of electronic data; 256 is the key length. When AES-256 is specified, be certain that your browser supports it, otherwise you will not be able to connect. Please refer to Checking Your Browser for AES Encryption for more information.

Apply Encryption mode to KVM and Virtual Media. When selected, this option applies the selected encryption mode to both KVM and virtual media. After authentication, KVM and virtual media data is also transferred with the selected encryption level.
PC Share mode determines global concurrent remote KVM access and serial access, enabling up to eight remote users to simultaneously log on to one Dominion KSX and concurrently view and control the same target server through the device. Click the drop-down list to select one of the following options:

PC Share mode	Description
Private	No PC share; this is the default mode. Each target server can be accessed exclusively by only one user at a time.
PC-Share	KVM target servers can be accessed by up to eight users (administrator or non-administrator) at one time. Each remote user has equal keyboard and mouse control, however, note that uneven control will occur if one user does not stop typing or moving the mouse.

The VM Share Mode option is enabled only when PC-Share Mode is enabled. When selected, this option permits the sharing of virtual media among multiple users, that is, several users can access the same virtual media session. The default is disabled.
The Local Device Reset Mode option specifies which actions are taken when the hardware reset button (at the back of the device) is depressed. For more information, refer to Resetting the Dominion KSX Using the Reset Button. Choose one of the following options:

Local device reset mode	Description
Enable Local Factory Reset (Default)	Returns the Dominion KSX to the factory defaults.
Enable Local Admin Password Reset	Resets the local administrator password only. The password is reset to raritan.
Disable All Local Resets	No reset action is taken.
