Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I use the KX I DCIMs with KX II?
Æ Yes, you can.
2. Can I use the KX II D2CIMs with KX I?
Æ No, the KX I was not designed to use these new CIMs.
3. The server only has PS2 ports, what should I do for KX II?
Æ Use the DCIM-PS2. Remember the KX I DCIMs will work with KX II. Please note
Virtual Media and Absolute Mouse Synchronization will not be supported in this case.
4. My customer wants virtual media. What CIM do I need?
Æ You need the D2CIM-VUSB. You also need to make sure that the target servers (USB
port, OS and BIOS) support Virtual Media. See above.
5. My customer wants absolute mouse synchronization, but not virtual media.
How to handle this?
Æ You can purchase the D2CIM-VUSB, but disable the virtual media permissions via the
management user interface.
6. My customer wants virtual media in KX I. Can I connect the D2CIM-VUSB to a
KX I?
Æ No, the D2CIM-VUSB only works with KX II. KX I switches can never support virtual
media due to hardware differences.
7. The D2CIM-VUSB is too expensive. Is there an alternative?
Æ You can purchase the D2CIM-VUSB in the 32 and 64 piece packages for a reduced
price. Or you can purchase the DCIM-USBG2, which doesn’t have virtual media and
absolute mouse synchronization for $99 U.S. List Price.
8. I want to connect a PX to a Dominion KX II. How do I do this?
Æ You should use the D2CIM-PWR to connect a PX (or the existing RPC) to a KX II.
9. I want to connect a PX to a Dominion KX I. How do I do this?
Æ You should use the P2CIM-PWR to connect a PX (or the existing RPC) to a KX I.
10. Why did you develop the DCIM-USBG2?
Æ The DCIM-USBG2 has a more modern architecture based on the P2CIM-AUSB. It
replaces the DCIM-USB and DCIM-SUSB (via switch on the CIM) and supports more
server types. It can be used with both KX I and KX II.
11. Does the DCIM-USBG2 support virtual media and absolute mouse synch?
Æ No, the D2CIM-VUSB is required for these features.
12. What about Mac target servers? What CIM should be used?
Æ For Mac target servers, we recommend the D2CIM-VUSB and absolute mouse mode.
The “Absolute mouse scaling for MAC server” option must be enabled for the specific port
on the Port Configurations page.
13. I have a few serial devices that I want to connect to a KX II. Can I?
Yes, the P2CIM-SER can be used to connect serial devices to a KX II.
