Appendix F: Frequently Asked Questions442Computer Interface Modules (CIMs)Question AnswerWhat type of video is supported byyour CIMs?Our CIMs have traditionally supported analogVGA video. Three new CIMs support digitalvideo formats, including DVI, HDMI andDisplayPort. These are theD2CIM-DVUSB-DVI, D2CIM-DVUSB-HDMIand D2CIM-DVUSB-DP.Can I use computer interfacemodules (CIMs) from Paragon,Raritan’s analog matrix KVMswitch, with Dominion KX III?Yes. Certain Paragon computer interfacemodules (CIMs) may work with Dominion KXIIKX IIII. (Please check the Raritan DominionKX III Release Notes on the website for thelatest list of certified CIMs.)However, because Paragon CIMs cost morethan Dominion KX III CIMs (as they incorporatetechnology for video transmission of up to1,000 feet [304 m]), it is not generally advisableto purchase Paragon CIMs for use withDominion KX III. Also note that whenconnected to Dominion KX III, Paragon CIMstransmit video at a distance of up to 150 feet(46 m), the same as Dominion KX III CIMs –not at 1,000 feet (304 m), as they do whenconnected to Paragon.Does Dominion KX III supportParagon Dual CIMs?Yes. The Dominion KX III supports Paragon IIDual CIMs (P2CIM-APS2DUAL andP2CIM-AUSBDUAL), which can connectservers in the data center to two differentDominion KX III switches.If one KX III switch is not available, the servercan be accessed through the second KX IIIswitch, providing redundant access anddoubling the level of remote KVM access.Please note these are Paragon CIMs, so theydo not support the KX III advanced featuressuch as virtual media, absolute mouse, audio,etc.Security
