Raritan Computer Home Theater Server KX2101-v2.20-0B-E User Manual

Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration 
 

 

 

 

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 

 (on page 25) for information on assigning 

an IP address to the KX II-101 using the Remote Console. See 

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

the Serial Admin Console. 

 

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. 

 

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: 

640x350 @70 Hz 

720x400 @85 Hz
