Dominion KX consists of two components: the digital KVM switch and Computer Interface Modules (CIMs). The Dominion KX switch connects to each CIM and provides KVM Over IP capabilities for remote access, as well as a local access port for controlling servers at the rack. Each CIM connects to the KVM ports of an individual server and delivers `keep-alive' keyboard/mouse emulation ensuring that servers never hang. Plus, CIMs convert video signals for transmission over UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cabling.
