CHAPTER 5: PARAGON II AND Z-CIMS 55
All Paragon II components must be powered ON prior to P2ZCIM tier installation. All computers in the
P2ZCIM chain must be powered OFF prior to installation.
Important: For Paragon I UMT242, 442, 832 and 1664, hardware III and Paragon II
firmware and Paragon II UMTs:
- For P2ZCIM chains up to and including 20 individual ZCIM units, at least one P2ZCIM
must be powered ON
- For P2ZCIMs chains from 21 up to and including 42 ZCIM units, at least 15 P2ZCIMs
must be powered ON
- Following these guidelines ensures that there is enough power to support all
P2ZCIMs in a chain.
Connect a P2ZCIM as a Tier:
1. Connect a Category 5e UTP cable to the channel port on the Paragon II UMT unit reserved for the
P2ZCIM chain.
2. Connect the other end of this Category 5e UTP cable to the UTP OUT (O) port on a P2ZCIM, which
will be the first CIM in the chain.
3. Connect a computer to the first P2ZCIM.
a. Connect the 6-pin mini-DIN keyboard and mouse and HD15 video connectors on the P2ZCIM to
computer’s keyboard, mouse, and video ports.
b. Place the Z-CIM Terminator in the P2ZCIM’s UTP IN (I) port.
c. Power ON computer.
Attach new P2Z-CIM to an Existing P2ZCIM Chain:

2. Connect a Category 5e UTP cable to UTP IN port on the P2ZCIM that is currently last in the chain.
3. Connect the other end of this Category 5e UTP cable to the UTP OUT port on the next Z-
CIM/computer currently being added to the chain.
