Getting Started
KX II-101 users with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or Windows
2000 must upgrade to Service Pack 4 (SP4) or higher.
The KX II-101 ships with a static default IP address. On a network
without a DHCP server, you must configure a new static IP address, net
mask, and gateway address using either the KX II-101 serial admin
console or the KX II-101 Remote Console.
See Assigning an IP Address (on page 25) for information on assigning
an IP addre

(Optional) (on page 29) for information on setting an IP address using

Step 1: Configure the Target Server
Before installing the KX II-101, first configure the target server you want
to access via the KX II-101 in order to ensure optimum performance.
Note that the following configuration requirements apply only to the
target server, not to the computers that you will be using to access the
KX II-101 remotely.
Setting the Server Video Resolution
For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, a target server
running a graphical user interface such as Windows, X-Windows,
Solaris, and KDE should be configured with desktop backgrounds set to
a predominantly solid, light-colored graphic. Backgrounds featuring
photos or complex gradients should be avoided.
Ensure that the server's video resolution and refresh rate are supported
by the KX II-101 and that the signal is non-interlaced. The KX II-101
supports the following video resolutions:
