CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION 21
2. Connect one HubPac to 4 Paragon Matrix Switch unit model UMT8, creating an 32 user by 8 server
configuration:
a. Attach server(s), via CIM, to HubPac:
Note: Up to 8 servers can be connected to one HubPac. Each 5-port cluster on the HubPac represents one
server connection, with four associated HubPac user ports. When each HubPac user port in a cluster is
attached to a separate Paragon switch, 32 users (4 HubPac user ports x 8 users per Paragon switch) can
have access to each server.
b. Connect CIM to server – see Appendix A: Specifications for specific instructions on connecting
different CIM types to a server.
c. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to RJ45 port on CIM.
d. Connect the other end of cable to the RJ45 1-IN port on back of HubPac.
e. Power ON server.
f. Repeat above steps to connect the remaining servers, connecting the Category 5e UTP cable to the
HubPac at the RJ45 2-IN, 3-IN, 4-IN, 5-IN, 6-IN, 7-IN, and 8-IN port for each consecutive server
(2 through 8) added.
3. Connect HubPac to each Paragon Matrix Switch by repeating all of the following steps for each 5-port
cluster on HubPac:
a. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to the RJ45 X-1 port on back of HubPac.
b. Connect the other end of the cable to channel port # X on the back of Paragon Matrix Switch
number 1.
c. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to the RJ45 X-2 port on back of HubPac.
d. Connect the other end of the cable to channel port # X on the back of Paragon Matrix Switch
number 2.
e. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to the RJ45 X-3 port on back of HubPac.
f. Connect the other end of the cable to channel port # X on the back of Paragon Matrix Switch
number 3.
g. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to the RJ45 X-4 port on back of HubPac.
h. Connect the other end of the cable to channel port # X on the back of Paragon Matrix Switch
number 4.
Note: There are 8 five port clusters on the HubPac. For each cluster the number in front of the RJ45 IN
port represents the cluster number. For example, cluster 1’s first RJ45 port is 1 IN, cluster 2’s is 2 IN, etc.
In the instructions above, “X” represents the cluster number (1 through 8).
4. Connect power cord to back of HubPac. Power ON HubPac
5. A HubPac represents 8 servers, and utilizes 8 channels on Paragon Matrix Switch connected. Since 32
channels are available on Paragon Matrix Switch model UMT8, up to 3 more HubPacs can be added
for a full 32 user by 32 server configuration. Follow steps 3 & 4 above for each additional HubPac to
be added.
6. Power ON each of the Paragon Matrix Switches.
Channel Configuration
Paragon recognizes a HubPac as an extension of a CIM, rather than as a device. As a result, each server
connected to the HubPac is configured as a directly connected server would be.
1. On the Selection Menu (by channel ID number) each green line indicates an active channel
(CIM/computer). Highlight the CIM/server to be selected by using the <>, <>, or <Page Up>,
<Page Down> keys. Press <Enter>.
2. Normal computer access indicates successful connection. If necessary, adjust the computer’s video
quality by keying on <+> or <-> while in Hot Key mode.
3. Enter a meaningful name for each server (channel).
a. Press <F5> for Administration Menu. Select Channel Configuration submenu with <> or <>
keys and press <Enter>.
b. Channel Configuration Menu. Press <> or <> to highlight (in yellow) Name field for channel
ID where CIM/computer was just installed. Press <Enter>. Highlight turns light blue.
c. Edit name (turns green when typing begins). Press <Enter> when completed. Press <S> to save
new name.
d.
