Chapter 6: USB Profiles

CIM Compatibility
In order to make use of USB profiles, you must use a D2CIM-VUSB or
D2CIM-DVUSB with updated firmware. A VM-CIM that has not had its
firmware upgraded will support a broad range of configurations
(Keyboard, Mouse, CD-ROM, and Removable Drive) but will not be able
to make use of profiles optimized for particular target configurations.
Given this, existing VM-CIMs should be upgraded with latest firmware in
order to access USB profiles. Until existing VM-CIMs are upgraded, they
will be able to provide functionality equivalent to the „Generic‟ profile.
VM-CIM firmware is automatically upgraded during a KSX II firmware
upgrade, but VM-CIMs that have not had their firmware upgraded can be
upgraded as described in Upgrading CIMs (on page 212).
See Computer Interface Modules (CIM) Specifications (see
"Computer Interface Modules (CIMs)" on page 275) for additional
information.
Available USB Profiles
The current release of the KSX II comes with the selection of USB
profiles described in the following table. New profiles are included with
each firmware upgrade provided by Raritan. As new profiles are added,
they will be documented in the help.
