C HAPTER 5: P ARAGON II AND Z-CIM S 59 Chapter 5: Paragon II and Z-CIMs Introduction Many CIMs (Computer Interface Modules), including Z-CIMs (UKMSPD and UKVMSC) and P2ZCIMs, enable access and control of multiple servers from a Paragon User Station, using only one channel port on your Paragon II unit.
60 P ARAGON II U SER G UIDE P2ZCIMs • For use with the Paragon II unit • Can be used on Paragon I HW 3 (running Paragon II code) • Support PS2 (P2ZCIM-PS2), USB (P2ZCIM-USB) and Sun (P2Z CIM-SUN) • Support up to 42 units in a ny mixed arrangement on a Cat5 chain • Span up to 1,000 feet (304 m .
C HAPTER 5: P ARAGON II AND Z-CIM S 61 Paragon II and UKVMSPD Z-CIMs Using a UKVMSPD with a Local PC To grant specific access to a local PC from a cert ain user station and to access the Paragon system CPUs also, insert a UKVMSPD dual-access CIM between a Us er Station and a Base Unit.
62 P ARAGON II U SER G UIDE Connecting Z-CIMs and P2ZCIMs as Tiers The following diagram shows setup guidelin es for connecting Z-Series Z4200U Z-CIMs (UKVMSPDs) or Paragon II CIMs (P2ZCIMs): Figure 55 Connecting Z-CIMs or P2ZCI Ms as Tiers CIM installation requires that computers are assigned names when added to the CIM chain.
C HAPTER 5: P ARAGON II AND Z-CIM S 63 Connect a CIM as a Tier: 1. Connect a Category 5e UTP cable to the cha nnel port on the Parag on II unit reserved for the CIM chain. 2. Connect the other end of this Category 5e UTP cable to the UTP OUT port on a CIM, which will be the first CIM in the chain.

C HAPTER 6: C ONFIGURATIONS 69 Chapter 6: Configurations The aim of the UMTM (Main) and UMTS (Stacking) units is to allow users to build the Paragon system to include additional channel ports and the tiers up to three levels, so that more users and channels can be configured to control more ta rgets.
70 P ARAGON II U SER G UIDE Tiered Configurations Standard Tiering Configurations Single Base Configuration Guidelines • Only Paragon I HW3 (running Paragon II c ode) or Paragon II can serve as base units. • The base unit must always be the latest releas ed version, both in hardware and firmware.
C HAPTER 6: C ONFIGURATIONS 71 Multiple Base Configuration Guidelines • Two or more UMT Matrix Switches serve as base units. • The base unit must always be the latest releas ed version, both in hardware and firmware. • A maximum of three (3) tiers, including the base unit, is permitted.
72 P ARAGON II U SER G UIDE Stacked Configurations Definition of stacking configuration: • The P2-UMT Stacking Switch expands the number of available channel ports in a single switch. It does not add user ports. − UMT Stacking Switch P2-UMT1664S has four 68-pin expansion ports.
C HAPTER 6: C ONFIGURATIONS 73 Standard Stacking Configurations Single Base with Stacking Example A: Non-blocked System – P2-UMT1664M Standard configuration – any user can access any channel port in the system.
74 P ARAGON II U SER G UIDE Example D: P2-UMT832M Stacked and Tiered Standard configuration – any user can access any channel port in the system. Figure 64 Stacking - Single Base Configuration with .

76 P ARAGON II U SER G UIDE Non-Standard Tier Configuration Guidelines for Existing Firmware Versions • Non-Standard tier configurations are those configurations supported by Paragon II, b ut require special procedures in order to function properly.
C HAPTER 6: C ONFIGURATIONS 77 Diamond Configuration The following procedure must be followed to en sure this configuration functions properly: − After re-connection, all UMT Matrix Switches should undergo a FUNC reset to clear the switch database. This procedure should be perfo rmed starting from the third tier device down to the base unit.
78 P ARAGON II U SER G UIDE Redundant Config uration These configurations are simply more complex Diamond configurations, and might be used to ensure redundancy; every switch is configured to another, in case of indivi dual system failure.
C HAPTER 6: C ONFIGURATIONS 79 In order to make a redundant configuration sy stem operate more efficiently, the following connection scheme between tiers is recommended: − Assume there are two UMT B.
