Handling Conflicts in Profile Names
A naming conflict between custom and standard USB profiles may occur
when a firmware upgrade is performed. This may occur if a custom
profile that has been created and incorporated into the list of standard
profiles has the same name as a new USB profile that is downloaded as
part of the firmware upgrade.
when a firmware upgrade is performed. This may occur if a custom
profile that has been created and incorporated into the list of standard
profiles has the same name as a new USB profile that is downloaded as
part of the firmware upgrade.
Should this occur, the preexisting custom profile will be tagged as 'old_'.
For example, if a custom profile called GenericUSBProfile5 has been
created and a profile with the same name is downloaded during a
firmware upgrade, the existing file will then be called
'old_GenericUSBProfile5'.
For example, if a custom profile called GenericUSBProfile5 has been
created and a profile with the same name is downloaded during a

'old_GenericUSBProfile5'.
You can delete the existing profile if needed. See

Upgrading CIMs
Use this procedure to upgrade CIMs using the firmware versions stored
in the memory of your Dominion KX II device. In general, all CIMs are
upgraded when you upgrade the device firmware using the Firmware
Upgrade page.
in the memory of your Dominion KX II device. In general, all CIMs are
upgraded when you upgrade the device firmware using the Firmware
Upgrade page.
In order to make use of USB profiles, you must use a D2CIM-VUSB or
D2CIM-DVUSB with updated firmware. A VM-CIM that has not had its
firmware upgraded will support a broad range of configurations
(Windows, Keyboard, Mouse, CD-ROM, and Removable Device) but will
not be able to make use of profiles optimized for particular target
configurations. Given this, existing VM-CIMs should be upgraded with
the latest firmware in order to access USB profiles. Until existing
VM-CIMs are upgraded, they will be able to provide functionality
equivalent to the ‘Generic’ profile.
