Dominion Democracy Suite 5.17 / ImageCast X
A source-linked dossier for the ImageCast X ballot-marking device within EAC-certified Democracy Suite 5.17, including certified device alternatives, external UPS options, version observations, Pro V&V results, and EAC-hosted post-certification advisories.

Documented paths, controls, and unknowns
Expected, documented, and observed configurations remain separate. Physical port capability is not treated as an active connection.
Safe public evidence boundaryReviewed 2026-07-21
The certified ICX hardware profile includes a physical 10/100 RJ-45 interface on the SID-21V platform, but the Democracy Suite 5.17 test plan says the evaluated system does not use public networks, does not support transmission over public networks, and uses no wireless technology. No external network peer or field connection is established for this ICX dossier.
The module distinguishes physical interface capability from an enabled or used connection. It excludes addresses, credentials, keys, activation-card contents, port settings, hostnames, and site-specific topology.1 sourced configuration view2 source imagesNo field-observed topology collected

ICX physical Ethernet capability with certified communications boundary
The SID-21V hardware exposes an RJ-45 interface, while the exact 5.17 test-plan boundary excludes public-network transmission and wireless use. The reviewed record does not identify a certified external peer for the ICX port or show that it is connected in a jurisdiction.

The test plan states that the evaluated 5.17 system does not support transmission over public networks.
documentedNo wireless technology
The 5.17 test plan states that no wireless technology is utilized in the system.
not publicly establishedExternal Ethernet peer
No external device, service, or network attached to the ICX RJ-45 port is established in the reviewed record.
Operational details withheld
No addressing, credentials, keys, activation-card contents, port configuration, hostnames, or jurisdiction topology is collected or shown.
An RJ-45 connector is capability evidence only. It does not prove that Ethernet is enabled, cabled, assigned an address, attached to a network, or used during an election.

RJ-45 enabled state and peer
The reviewed public record does not identify an enabled service, external peer, cable, or field use for the physical ICX Ethernet interface.
The gap must not be converted into an assumption that the port is either active or disabled.Field-observed configuration
No dated unit-level interface inspection or polling-place network diagram was collected.
Certified boundary evidence is not a live observation.
