Appendix D: FAQs331Computer Interface Modules (CIMs)Can I use Computer Interface Modules (CIMs) from Raritan's analogmatrix KVM switch, Paragon, with the KX II?Yes. Certain Paragon computer interface modules (CIMs) may work withthe KX II (check the Raritan KX II release notes on the website for thelatest list of certified CIMs).However, because Paragon CIMs cost more than KX II CIMs (as theyincorporate technology for video transmission of up to 1000 feet [300meters]), it is not generally advisable to purchase Paragon CIMs for usewith the KX II. Also note that when connected to the KX II, Paragon CIMstransmit video at a distance of up to 150 feet, the same as the KX IICIMs; not at 1000 feet [300 meters], as they do when connected toParagon.Can I use the KX II Computer Interface Modules (CIMs) withRaritan's analog matrix KVM switch, Paragon?No. The KX II computer interface modules (CIMs) transmit video atranges of 50 to 150 feet (15 - 45 m) and thus do not work with Paragon,which requires CIMs that transmit video at a range of 1000 feet (300meters). To ensure that all Raritan's customers experience the very bestquality video available in the industry - a consistent Raritan characteristic- Dominion Series CIMs do not interoperate with Paragon.Does the KX II support Paragon Dual CIMs?Yes. The KX II now supports Paragon II Dual CIMs (P2CIM-APS2DUALand P2CIM-AUSBDUAL), which can connect servers in the data centerto two different KX II switches.If one KX II switch is not available, the server can be accessed throughthe second KX II switch, providing redundant access and doubling thelevel of remote KVM access.Please note these are Paragon CIMs, so they do not support the KX IIadvanced features such as virtual media, absolute mouse, and so on.
