Dominion KX II to Dominion KX II Guidelines
The following system configuration guidelines should be followed when
you are using Paragon CIMs in a Dominion KX II to Dominion KX II
configuration:
Concurrent Access
Concurrent access guarantees that concurrent access to targets is
prohibited for all targets by all user groups.
 Both Dominion KX II KVM switches should be configured with the
same policy for concurrent access to targets.
 If Private access to targets is required, both KVM switches must
have PC Share Mode set to Private. See Encryption & Share (on
page 197).
Note: User Group PC Share permissions must not be relied on if privacy
must be guaranteed when using the P2CIM-APS2DUAL or
P2CIM-AUSBDUAL with the Dominion KX II.
CIM Name Updates
The P2CIM-APS2 and P2CIM-AUSB names are stored within the CIM‟s
memory. There are two memory locations provided to accommodate
the Paragon naming convention (12 characters) and the Dominion KX II
naming convention (32 characters).
When first connected to a Dominion KX II, the Paragon name will be
retrieved from memory and written into the CIM memory location used by
Dominion KX II. Subsequent queries for the CIM name or updates to the
CIM name from the Dominion KX II will be made to the memory location
used by the Dominion KX II. Updates will not be made by the Dominion
KX II to the memory location used by Paragon II.
When the CIM name is updated by one Dominion KX II, the other
Dominion KX II will detect and retrieve the updated name on the next
attempt to connect to that target. Until that time, the name will not be
updated on the other Dominion KX II.
Port Status and Availability
The port status, displayed on the Dominion KX II Port Access page as
either Up or Down, is updated to show whether the CIM is powered up
and connected to the Dominion KX II port.
The port availability, as displayed on the Dominion KX II Port Access
page as Idle, Busy or Connected, is only updated to reflect activity on a
target that has been initiated from that same Dominion KX II.
