12. 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.
13. Does the DCIM-USBG2 support virtual media and absolute mouse synch?
Æ No, the D2CIM-DVUSB or D2CIM-VUSB is required for these features.
14. What about Mac target servers? What CIM should be used?
Æ For a Mac target server, we recommend the D2CIM-VUSB and absolute mouse
synchronization. The "MAC OS X (10.4.9 and later)" USB profile should be used when in the
OS and the "BIOS Mac" USB profile when in the Mac BIOS.
15. 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.
16. What CIM should I use with a blade server?
DCIM-PS2, DCIM-USBG2, D2CIM-VUSB or D2CIM-DVUSB. See the section in this guide for
more information.
17. I plan to use Smart Cards in the future. What CIM should I use?
The D2CIM-DVUSB CIM is required for Smart Card or US government Common Access Card
(CAC) use.
18. Can I use the Paragon II P2CIM-AUSB-C CIM which supports Paragon II Smart Card
use?
No, only the D2CIM-DVUSB will support Smart Card and CAC use for the Dominion KX II.
19. Can I use an existing D2CIM-DVUSB for Smart Card/CAC use?
Yes, but it must be upgraded with the new Smart Card firmware, when available. The CIM will
be automatically upgraded if it is connected to the Dominion KX II switch when the switch is
upgraded.
