Raritan Computer DKX2-V2.3.5-0N-E User Manual

Chapter 8: Device Management 
 

Direct port access allows users to bypass having to use the device's 
Login dialog and Port Access page. This feature also provides the ability 
to enter a username and password directly and proceed to the target if 
the username and password is not contained in the URL.   

The following is important URL information regarding direct port access: 

If you are using VKC and direct port access: 



 

https://IPaddress/dpa.asp?username=username&password=passwo
rd&port=port number 

If you are using AKC and direct port access: 



 

https://IPaddress/dpa.asp?username=username&password=passwo
rd&port=port number&client=akc 

Where: 



 

Username and password are optional. If they are not provided, a 
login dialog will be displayed and, after being authenticated, the user 
will be directly connected to the target. 



 

The port may be a port number or port name. If you are using a port 
name, the name must be unique or an error is reported. If the port is 
omitted altogether, an error is reported. 



 

For blade chassis, the port is designated <port number>'-'<slot 
number>. For example, 1-2 for blade chassis connected to port 1, 
slot 2. 



 

Client=akc is optional unless you are using the AKC client. If 
client=akc is not included, VKC is used as the client.
