DX User IP II - Quick Start Guide  
KVM.net enabled  
KVM.net managed  
KVM.net is a centralized IP based system for secure control of servers and network  
devices, power and user administration in the data center environment. KVM.net  
combines Out-Of-Band, KVM via IP access with modern IT standards and  
requirements. It is the most comprehensive remote server maintenance solution  
available in the market today.  
1. Introduction  
These 3 modes are now explained.  
To take advantage of the DX User IP II full range of features, we recommend you  
read the softcopy User Guide after performing the Quick Start procedure. It’s in  
PDF format on the supplied CD or on our website www.minicom.com in the  
Support section.  
1.1.1 Standalone mode  
Standalone mode refers to using the DX User IP II as part of the DX system only  
and working via the DX AIM interface without KVM.net, for remote KVM access  
and control via a LAN or Internet connection.  
Figure 1 illustrates the basic configuration of the DX system with the DX User IP II  
and DX Users connected to peripheral devices via the DX Central.  
1.1.2 KVM.net enabled / managed  
Remote  
User  
The DX User IP II can be KVM.net enabled or KVM.net managed. Both of these  
refer to managing and accessing servers connected to the DX system via the  
KVM.net Manager.

KVM.net enabled means the DX is still capable of working in Standalone mode.  
KVM.net managed means the DX is fully managed and controlled by KVM.net,  
access to the AIM interface is blocked but can be achieved where necessary via  
hotkeys. Details of the differences between KVM.net enabled and managed will be  
explained in the configuration and operating sections later on in this Guide.

Monitor  
The maximum distance between each device (computer, KVM switch or second  
level DX Central) and the DX Central is 100m/330ft. The maximum distance  
between the DX Central and the DX User IP II is also 100m/330ft. For best  
performance place the DXU IP II as close as possible to the DX Central.
