CHAPTER 5: PARAGON II AND Z-CIMS 51
Connecting Z-Series Z-CIMs as Tiers
The following diagram shows the final setup when connecting Z-Series Z4200U Z-CIMs (UKVMSPDs) as
a tier:
Figure 43 Connecting a Z-Series Z-CIM as a Tier to Paragon II
Important: Z-Series installation requires that each computer be assigned a channel
name as it is added to the Z-CIM chain. Computer channels are organized
alphabetically by assigned name (or the default name, the Z-CIM’s serial number),
rather than in the order of their placement within the Z-CIM chain. We recommend that
installers assign channel names before connecting all computers to eliminate any
difficulty in locating the respective channel for each computer. On a related note,
when naming or renaming a CIM, switch to that CIM to activate it, thereby ensuring
that its new name is updated in the UMT database.
Note: When following the installation and configuration instructions below, sort the Selection Menu by
Channel ID Number, not by Name. Display the menu by pressing the F2 key on your keyboard and change
the sorting method by pressing the F12 key.
All Paragon II components must be powered ON prior to Z-CIM tier installation. All computers in the Z-
CIM chain and all Z4200U components must be powered OFF prior to installation.
Connect a Z-CIM as a Tier:
1. Connect a Category 5e UTP cable to the channel port on the Paragon II unit reserved for the Z-CIM
chain.
2. Connect the other end of this Category 5e UTP cable to the UTP OUT port on a Z-CIM, which will be
the first Z-CIM in the chain.
3. Connect a computer to the first Z-CIM.
For UKVMSPD Z-CIM:
a. Connect the 6-pin mini-DIN keyboard and mouse and HD15 video connectors on the UKVMSPD
Z-CIM to computer’s keyboard, mouse, and video ports.
b. Place the Z-CIM Terminator in the Z-CIM’s UTP IN port.
c. Power ON computer.
