Introduction
The VisuNet RM Shell 4.1.1 (or newer) embeds a software client that allows connection to Raritan®KVM-over-IP
switches. The KVM-over-IP client allows a point-to-point connection between a VisuNet Remote Monitor and a
Host PC to be set up in the safe area. The local host PC can be shared and remotely operated by a second user
on the remote monitor in the hazardous location.
In this quick installation guide, the configuration of the RM Shell 4.1.1 (or newer) and the Raritan Dominion®KX
II-101 KVM-over-IP switch is described; it is available as an accessory (DKX2-101-V2, #547998).

Local VGA: This is a VGA port that can be used to connect an optional, local monitor to the KVM switch
and share the transmitted video signal from a host PC.
Factory Reset Button: This button allows the configuration of the KVM switch to be reset.
KVM Input: This is the interface for the KVM cable that provides all interfaces that must be connected to
the host PC.
VGA: Connect the VGA interface to the VGA port of the host PC to transmit the video signal to the KVM
switch. (If the Host PC only has digital interfaces like display port, HDMI, DVI, please use a digital-to-
analog signal converter.)
USB: Connect the USB interface to a USB port of the host PC to forward the keyboard/mouse to the
host PC.
(PS/2: You can also use the PS/2 ports to forward the keyboard/mouse to the host PC.)

(Local Admin: Serial port for local administration of a host PC
— this interface is not relevant for VisuNet Remote Monitors.)
To Power Adapter: This is the interface to power the KVM
switch.
LAN Port: This is the Ethernet port that must be connected with
the RM.
There are multiple setup options for the KVM switch:
Connection with Local
Monitor (connected to host
PC):
Use this setup if you want
to operate the host PC
locally and via an RM that is
connected via LAN.
(recommended setup)
Connection without Local
Monitor:
Use this setup if you do not
want to locally operate the
host PC but only want to
operate the host PC via an
RM that is connected via
LAN.

Application Setup
In addition to the local setup of the KVM switch and the host PC, there are also multiple options for connecting
the KVM switch to an RM and integrating the KVM switch into a network:

Preparing VisuNet Remote Monitors / Box Thin Clients
In this section, the steps for a direct connection between an RM and a KVM switch are described. Before you
can connect with a VisuNet RM Shell KVM profile to a host PC, you need to configure the KVM switch.
Note: The following steps describe the configuration of the KVM switch from an RM. The setup can also be
performed from a standard PC.
Set IP Address of RM
First, change the IP address of the RM to a static IP address that is within the IP address range of the KVM
switch (192.168.0.xxx).
("Sytem Settings" app Network IP Address)
Add KVM Switch to Trusted Sites
Especially when you use a point-to-point connection to the KVM switch, the certificate-based communication
can pose a problem since the certificate cannot be properly validated. To overcome this problem, we
recommend that the KVM switch be added to the trusted intranet zone and that the the security settings are
losened. This allows a direct connection to be established without warning pop-ups.
Note:If you are using a multiport KVM switch that is maintained by IT and has a valid certificate installed, you
can skip the following steps.
1. Open Internet Properties in RM Shell.
b. (Log in as Adminstrator)
c. Go to "System Settings" app Proxy Click on "Advanced"

VisuNet Control Center Manual
2. Add IP address of KVM switch (Default: 192.168.0.192) to the "Local intranet" zone.
Select the "Security" tab and the zone "Local intranet."
Click on "Sites."
3. Change certificate settings in the "Advanced" tab.
Disable the following two settings:
"Check for publisher's certificate revocation"
"Warn about certificate address mismatch"
4. Apply changes by pressing "OK" and reboot RM.
Click on the "Advanced" button and add the IP address of the KVM switch to the list (default IP:
192.168.0.192). Deselect the option "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone" if set.

Create KVM Profile and Connect to KVM Switch
After the system has rebooted, you need to create a KVM profile and establish a connection to the KVM switch
to setup the proper settings on the switch.
1. Go to "Profile Management" and create a new KVM profile.
2. Configure the new profile with the following parameters:
a. Profile Name: Use a meaningful name for the connection (e.g. Raritan KVM)
b. KVM Switch Network Name / IP address: IP Address of Raritan switch (factory default: 192.168.0.192)
c. Username: Enter username, stored on KVM switch (factory default: admin)
d. Password: Enter password of KVM switch user (factory default: raritan)
e. Port number: Select port of KVM switch you want to use (factory default: 1)
1. Open the connection initially by pressing "Open Remote Console." A connection to the KVM switch will be
established and you will be prompted to choose whether you want to run the client application.
a. Press "Run" to download the KVM client application onto the RM.
b. Two security alerts will pop up that will ask you if you would like to proceed with the following settings.
Press "Yes" to accept.
The connection will finally be established, the KVM switch will be loaded, and the login window will appear.

Enable Direct Port Access (DPA)
The RM Shell requires DPA to be activated on the KVM switch.
Navigate to “Device Settings Device Services” and enable "Enable Direct Port Access via URL."
Configuring the KVM Switch
In this section, the configuration steps are described that are required to establish a connection from an RM to
a KVM switch.
Change Username/Password
When you log in for the first time to the KVM switch, you will be prompted to change the default username and
password (admin / raritan).
Use a strong password to increase system security.
Note: If you change the username or password, please also update the username and password stored in the
Raritan KVM profile on the RM.

Set up Date and Time
Check the KVM switch time.
Navigate to "Device Settings Date/Time" and update the date and time.
IMPORTANT: The times on the RM and KVM switch must match!

VisuNet Control Center Manual
Create a Self-Signed Certificate
Note: This step is only required if you do not have a valid "company certificate" that can be used on the KVM
switch.
IMPORTANT: A self-signed certificate should only be used when a direct connection between an RM and a
KVM switch is established and when the RM is not connected to a company intranet or Internet.
1. Navigate to "Security Certificate" and create a new certificate with your organization information. (If you
have a certificate available, you can upload it via "Certificate upload.")
2. Click "Create" to create the certificate. You will be prompted to choose whether you want to create a self-
signed certificate. Click "OK."
3. After the Certificate has been created successfully on the KVM switch, reboot the device. Navigate to
"Maintenance Reboot."
4. Close the Remote Console window.
5. Update the username and password of the KVM profile settings.
6. Apply the changes.
