Step 1: Connect the Equipment

Power on all the devices.
Step 2: Initial Log in to the Dominion Enhanced User Station
Use the factory default user credentials for initial login. User credentials are case sensitive.

  • User name: admin
  • Password: raritan

Changing the default password to strong password is enforced at first login. For details on password changes, see Change Password.

Step 3: Add Devices
If the User Station is connected to a non-DHCP network, you must manually configure the network settings prior to adding KX and SX Devices. See Basic Network Settings (on page 11).
When you are not using CC-SG integration, KX and SX Devices are added in the User Station Configuration window.

▶ To add KX/SX Devices:

  1. Launch the User Station Configuration window using either method below.
    • Press Ctrl+Alt+C.
    • Choose Main Menu > User Station Configuration. “Main Menu” is located at the bottom-left corner of the screen.

  2. Click .

  3. Enter the data for the KX/Serial Device (a KX III or KX IV-101 or KVM switch or Serial switch).
    • Type the KVM/Serial switch’s IPv4/IPv6 address or hostname in this field.Raritan DKX4-EUST Dominion Enhanced Station - Symbol
1• Select the authentication method:
    ▪ Normal: You must enter login credentials for the KVM switch.
    ▪ Allow LDAP single sign-on: When users, KVM switches, and the Dominion Enhanced User Station have the same
    LDAP environment, single sign-on.![Raritan DKX4-EUST Dominion Enhanced Station

Important: If “Allow LDAP Single Sign-on” is enabled, LDAP users can omit entering credentials in favor of their LDAP credentials being used. Otherwise, user credentials for a KVM/Serial switch are saved on a per-user basis. Other users must enter and save their own user credentials for the KVM/Serial switches you added. See User Credentials for Querying Port Information.
Step 4: Using the Port Navigator
You access the computer devices connected to a device’s ports and your other targets through the Port Navigator window, which contains 3 panels:

  • Favorite Access shows the access you have configured as favorites.
  • Devices shows all added devices and their ports.
  • Targets shows all added KVM, Serial, SSH, RDP and VNC Web ESXi targets.•

This window is displayed by default. If not, launch it by pressing Ctrl+Alt+N or choosing Main Menu > Port Navigator.
▶ To access a KVM/Serial switch’s ports:

  1. Click a KVM/Serial switch in the Devices panel.
  2. Per default, only a list of “up” ports is displayed under the selected KVM/Serial switch. For dual port video, only the primary port must be “up” to be displayed.
    • Numbers in parentheses are the physical port numbers on the KVM/Serial switch.
    • Dual port video shows the primary then secondary physical port numbers in parentheses.Raritan DKX4-EUST Dominion Enhanced Station - Symbol
6• Click the desired KVM/Serial port’s icon , and select Open in new KVM/Serial client or or Open in current KVM client. Or, click the port name: single-click opens it in the current KVM Client window, double-click opens it in a new KVM Client window, right-click shows the KVM Client options.

Step 5: Use the KVM Client
The KVM Client window opens after accessing a port. The video of the target server that is connected to the port is displayed in the KVM Client. You can use the attached keyboard and mouse to control the target server.Raritan
