The New DCIM-USBG2 Replaces the DCIM-USB and DCIM-SUSB
The new DCIM-USBG2, which replaces the DCIM-USB and DCIM-SUSB, is now available.
The DCIM-USBG2 is the second generation version of these CIMs, with enhanced reliability and
performance. The DCIM-USBG2 supports both USB and SUN USB. A small switch on the unit
determines USB or SUN USB.
The DCIM-USBG2 can be used for both KX I and KX II. It is a low cost CIM – US list price of
$99 - but lacks the virtual media and absolute mouse features of the D2CIM-VUSB.
End of Life (EOL) will be announced for the DCIM-USB and DCIM-SUSB in early October. The
last time buy date for these CIMs is December 31, 2007.
Dominion KX II DCIM-USBG2 Usage
For Dominion KX II, the recommended usage depends on the features desired and the type of
server and is as follows:
Customer Needs CIM to Use
• Advanced features such as
virtual media, absolute
mouse synchronization and
CIM firmware update
• Windows, Linux and Mac
servers
D2CIM-VUSB
• SUN USB Servers
• Unix Servers
DCIM-USBG2
• Basic CIM features
• USB Servers
DCIM-USBG2
Dominion KX I DCIM-USBG2 Usage
For Dominion KX I, the recommended usage depends on the firmware release as follows:
Dominion KX I
Release
CIM to Use
KX 1.3, KX 1.4, KX 1.4.x
DCIM-USBG2 for USB and
SUN USB Servers
KX 1.0.x, KX 1.1 and KX 1.2
DCIM-USB
DCIM-SUSB (Sun USB)
So most KX I customers should purchase the DCIM-USBG2, unless they are running a very old
firmware release. Of course, customers can upgrade free of charge to new firmware and use
the DCIM-USBG2 for increased reliability.
Connect to Serial Devices with P2CIM-SER and Dominion KX II
The P2CIM-SER (and P2CIM-SER-EU for European market) can be used to connect a serial
device (networking device, headless server) to a Paragon or Dominion KX. The P2CIM-SER is
now certified with the Dominion KX II.
The P2CIM-SER converts serial device input to a standard KVM signal for use with Paragon II
and Dominion KX I and KX II. The US List Price is $149. It is powered via USB from the serial
device or the PWR-SER-4 four port power adapter.
