Interface Modules
(CIMs) from Raritan’s
analog matrix KVM
switch, Paragon, with
Dominion KX?
Yes. Certain Paragon computer interface modules (CIMs) may work
with Dominion KX (please check the Raritan web site for the latest list
of certified CIMs).
with Dominion KX (please check the Raritan web site for the latest list
of certified CIMs).
However, because Paragon CIMs cost more than Dominion KX CIMs
(as they incorporate technology for video transmission of up to 1000
feet [300 meters]), it is not generally advisable to purchase Paragon
CIMs for use with Dominion KX. Also note that when connected to
Dominion KX, Paragon CIMs transmit video at a distance of 50 feet
[15 meters], the same as Dominion KX CIMs – not at 1000 feet [300
meters], as they do when connected to Paragon.

Can I use Z-Series

“daisy-chaining”
Computer Interface
Modules (CIMs) with
Dominion KX?
At the present time, Raritan’s Z-Series “daisy-chaining” computer
interface modules do not work with Dominion KX. This capability will
be incorporated in future releases – requiring only a firmware upgrade.

Computer Interface
Modules (CIMs) with
Raritan’s analog matrix
KVM switch, Paragon?
No. Dominion KX computer interface modules (CIMs) transmit video
at ranges of 50 to 150 feet (15 – 45 m) and thus do not work with
Paragon, which requires CIMs that transmit video at a range of 1000
feet (300 meters). To ensure that all Raritan’s customers experience the
very best quality video available in the industry – a consistent Raritan
characteristic – Dominion Series CIMs do not interoperate with
Paragon.

What kind of encryption
does Dominion KX use?
does Dominion KX use?
Dominion KX utilizes industry-standard (and extremely secure) 128-bit
RC4 encryption, both in its SSL communications as well as its own
data stream. Literally no data is transmitted between remote clients and
Dominion KX that is not completely secured by encryption.

Does Dominion KX
allow encryption of

only encrypt keyboard
and mouse data?

Unlike competing solutions, which only encrypt keyboard and mouse
data, Dominion KX does not compromise your security - it allows
encryption of keyboard, mouse and video data.

How does Dominion KX

LDAP?
integrate with external
authentication servers
such as Active
Directory, RADIUS, or
LDAP?
Through a very simple configuration, Dominion KX can be set to
forward all authentication requests to an external server such as LDAP,
Active Directory, or RADIUS. For each authenticated user, Dominion
KX receives from the authentication server the user group to which that
user belongs. Dominion KX then determines the user’s access
permissions depending on what user group to which he belongs.

How are usernames and

passwords stored?
Should you use Dominion KX’s internal authentication capabilities, all
sensitive information such as usernames and passwords are stored in a
hashed format. Literally no one, including Raritan technical support or
Product Engineering departments, can retrieve those usernames and
passwords.
