Dual & Multi Monitor Support
KVM Over IP switches offer unrestricted multi monitor support for any number of monitors. Multi monitor support is achieved by using a separate port for each of attached displays, and then opening those in separate sessions - I.E. a 32 port KVM will offer support for 16 devices with dual monitors. Raritan Dominion KX3 KVMs also offer native a dual monitor 'follow' mode, which automatically opens up all the relevant displays when connecting to a server. The new optional Dominion User station (DKX-UST) also features (2) DisplayPort and (1) HDMI video ports that can be mixed in dual-monitor applications.
Virtual USB Media
Virtual Media lets the user remotely mount storage devices, CAC readers, printers, bootable ISO, and any other USB devices onto the computers and servers connected to the DKX3-232 KVM Over IP switch. The networked USB device functions as if it was directly attached to the source computer or servers USB port.
Virtual USB media is also critical for remote administrators to perform of a number of tasks from installing applications, security patches, complete OS installs, to virus scans and diagnostics. These tasks can often be performed simultaneously on all servers attached to the KVM switch without a physical presence in the server room.

To offer the greatest flexibility, this unit does not come with any CIMs or CAT5 cable.
Question: How i can Connect three KVM switches with one LED Monitor for display of all nodes in single monitor?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. It sounds like you are looking for a multiviewer type KVM that can display the input of multiple systems on a single screen.
If you have independent keyboards and mice for each system, something like the SmartAVI SM-HDMV-S (https://www.kvm-switches-online.com/sm-hdmv-s.html) might work. For a KVM type device that would share a keyboard and mouse, the Rose Electronics QuadraVista QV-4KVMHDMI ( https://www.kvm-switches-online.com/qv-4kvmhdmi.html ) might work.
Question: I see that there is the new DKX4 series 1-Port IP KVM coming out - Are there any plans to replace DKX3-232 with a newer model like Raritan DKX4-232?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
As of February 12th, 2018, Raritan does not currently have a public release plan for replacing the DKX3-232.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!
Question: We are considering the DKX3-232 for a USAF network. Is it considered a "Secure" KVM and does it have any DoD credentials, i.e. Common Criteria Portal, NIST FIPS, etc?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
The Raritan DKX3-232 indeed meets DoD security standards including: AES & FIPS 140-2 encryption, UL certification, Common Access Card (CAC) authentication, PIV, FIPS 201, HSPD-12 and IPv6 networking.
- U.S. government agencies and the Department of Defense are now mandated to purchase IPv6-compatible products - The Raritan Dominion supports IPv6.
- The Dominion KX III uses an embedded FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module running on a Linux platform per FIPS 140-2 implementation guidelines. This cryptographic module is used for encryption of KVM session traffic consisting of video, keyboard, mouse, virtual media and smart card data.
- The Dominion KX III also supports AES 256-bit and 128-bit encryption as recommended by the U.S. government's NIST and FIPS standards Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for added security. The weaker RC4 encryption is no longer supported.
- Please note that due to the specification of the protection profiles, NIAP Common Criteria certification is not really suitable for the evaluation against over-IP / network-attached switches or matrix switches. You can find a list of our Common Criteria Certified secure KVMs here.
