the setting.
− Power OFF all switching units.
− Power ON the Stacking unit. (This must be done before powering on the Main Switching
Unit.)
3. Power on the Main Switching Unit.
4. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to User Port #1 on the back of the Main
Switching Unit. Connect the other end of the cable to the “Cat5 Port” on the back of the User
Station (P2-UST or P2-EUST).
5. Connect a power cord to the User Station. Power on the User Station.
6. Connect a PS/2 or USB keyboard, mouse, and a VGA monitor to the User Station. Power on
the monitor.
7. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to Channel Port #1 on the back of the Main
Switching Unit (or Stacking Unit, if attached). Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ45
port on a Computer Interface Module (P2-CIM).
8. Connect P2-CIM to a server’s keyboard, video, and mouse ports.
9. Power on the server.
10. Repeat steps 4 through 9 for all other servers you want to attach.
Note: Although users and servers can be located up to 1000 feet (304 m) apart, for optimal video
quality, limit the cable length between the Main Switching Unit and CIM to less than 100 feet
(30.5 m). For good video quality, limit the cable length to less than 500 feet (152 m).
Initial Administrative Verification
To verify that an attached server can be viewed and controlled through the Paragon system:
1. When you first power on the Paragon Main Switching Unit, an attached User Station, and the
User Station’s attached monitor; the Login screen appears. Type admin in the User Name
field and press Enter. Type raritan (all lowercase) in the Password field and press Enter.
Note: The factory-default user names for regular users are user01 through up to user15
(depending on the model of your Main Switching Unit), and for the administrator is admin.
User names are not case-sensitive. By default, a password is required only for the admin user,
and that password is raritan. Note that passwords are case-sensitive.
