2 PARAGON II USER GUIDE
• P2CIM-APS2DUAL supports servers with IBM PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, and allows
one PC to double the number of users. It comes with automatic skew compensation (when
used with P2-EUST).
• Two CIMs support IBM BladeCenter® (blade servers): P2CIM-APS2-B for PS/2 type
keyboard and mouse ports, and P2CIM-AUSB-B for USB type keyboard and mouse ports.
Both CIMs support automatic skew compensation.
One universal User Station supports PS/2, Sun, or USB keyboards and mice. (We recommend
using a Sun keyboard if there are any Sun servers in your system; if you must use a PS/2
keyboard to control Sun servers, please see Appendix F: Extra Keyboard/Mouse Information
and Settings for additional information.) If you want to connect one User Station to one server
across a long stretch of CAT5 or higher cable, you can run such a cable between a “direct mode”
User Station and a P2CIM-APS2 (please see Appendix B: User Station Direct Mode for
additional information).
Raritan’s enhanced User Station, P2-EUST, is a User Station that functions just like Raritan’s
P2-UST User Station. However, the P2-EUST provides enhanced control over video quality by
either automatically adjusting the skew delay of each color, or allowing the user to manually
adjust the video gain and skew delay on the screen, and store these preferences in the matrix
switch’s database.
