How do I connect 
multiple Dominion KX 
devices together into one 
solution? 
 
Multiple Dominion KX units do not need to be physically connected 
together. Instead, each Dominion KX unit connects to the network, and 
they automatically work together as a single solution:  
If you deploy Raritan’s optional CC-SG management appliance, CC-
SG acts as a single access point for remote access and management. 
CC-SG offers a significant set of convenient tools, such as consolidated 
configuration, consolidated firmware update, and a single 
authentication and authorization database.  
In addition, CC-SG enables sophisticated server sorting, permissions, 
and access functionality – for instance, you can create an attribute 
called “Operating System”, and in one step enable only the Active 
Directory group “SYSADMINS” to access those servers whose 
“Operating System” attribute is set to “Windows.” Please refer to the 
CC-SG FAQ sheet on Raritan’s Website for additional information: 
If you do not take advantage of Raritan’s optional CC-SG management 
appliance, multiple Dominion KX units still interoperate and scale 
automatically: The Raritan Remote Client automatically discovers the 
Dominion KX units in your subnet. You can access Dominion KX units 
outside the subnet via a user-created profile. 
Can I connect an 
existing analog KVM 
switch to Dominion 
KX? 
 
Yes.  You can connect your analog KVM switch to one of Dominion 
KX’s server ports. Simply use a PS/2 Computer Interface Module 
(CIM), and attach it to the user ports of your existing analog KVM 
switch.   Please note that analog KVM switches vary in their 
specifications and Raritan cannot guarantee the interoperability of any 
particular third-party analog KVM switch.  Contact Raritan technical 
support for further information.  Raritan’s Paragon and Paragon II 
analog switches are IP enabled by the IP-Reach family of remote access 
products.
