Selecting Profiles for a KVM Port
The Dominion KX II comes with a set of USB profiles that you can assign
to a KVM port based on the characteristics of the KVM target server it
connects to. You assign USB profiles to a KVM port in the Device
Settings > Port Configuration > Port page in either the Dominion KX II
Remote or Local Console.
It is the administrator that designates the profiles that are most likely to
be needed for a specific target. These profiles are then available for
selection via MPC/VKC. If a profile has not been made available, you
can access any of the available profiles by selecting USB Profile > Other
Profiles.
Assigning USB profiles to a KVM port makes those profiles available to a
user when connected to a KVM target server. If required, the user can
select a USB profile from the USB Profile menu in VKC or MPC.
For information about assigning USB profiles to a KVM port, see
Configuring USB Profiles (Port Page) (on page 185).
Mouse Modes when Using the Mac OS-X USB Profile with a
DCIM-VUSB
If you are using a DCIM-VUSB, using a Mac OS-X
®
USB profile, and
running Mac OS-X 10.4.9 (or later), when you reboot you must be in
Single Mouse mode to use the mouse at the Boot menu.
To configure the mouse to work at the Boot menu:
1. Reboot the Mac and press the Option key during the reboot to open
the Boot menu. The mouse will not respond at this point.
2. Select Intelligent Mouse mode and then select Single Mouse mode.
The mouse will respond.
Note: Mouse speed may be slow while in Single Mouse mode.
3. Once you are out of the Boot menu and have booted to the operating
system, exit Single Mouse mode and switch back to Absolute Mouse
mode for better mouse performance.
