Compatible CIMs
Connecting a Serial Device via the Serial CIM
To connect an ASCII serial device, LAN/WAN component or a computer
through a serial port (RS‐232) to the MCCAT system, use one of Raritanʹs
serial CIMs: P2CIM‐SER or P2CIM‐SER‐EU. These CIMs can emulate an
ASCII terminal and convert the serial data from the ASCII device to VGA
video (800x600x60) and PS/2 keyboard signals. This conversion allows
users to access and operate any ASCII serial device connected to the
MCCAT system.
Here are some useful features of the serial CIMs:

Note: The P2CIM‐SER and P2CIM‐SER‐EU are functionally identical. The only
difference between the two is that the P2CIM‐SER‐EU supports a wider variety
of non‐English language keyboards and character sets.
