80 PARAGON II USER GUIDE
Attach a New Z-CIM to the Existing Z-CIM Chain
1. Remove the Z-CIM Terminator from the UTP IN port of the last Z-CIM in the chain and set
aside.
2. Connect a Category 5e UTP cable to UTP IN port on the last Z-CIM in the chain.
3. Connect the other end of this Category 5e UTP cable to the UTP OUT port on the next
Z-CIM/server currently being added to the chain.
4. Place the Z-CIM Terminator in the added Z-CIM’s UTP IN port.
5. Power ON the server.
6. (Optional) Connect a local user console to the UKVMSC Z-CIM.
7. Name the newly added server by repeating the steps described in Name the Server Channel
on the Tiered Selection Menu of Z-CIM.
8. Press F2 to return to the Selection Menu. Go to the Z-CIM channel to verify both of the name
change and the server operation are OK.
Repeat the steps on the above sections for each server to be added to the chain. Name and test
each server as it is added. Follow the steps below to add the rest of the Z-CIM chain of servers.
Æ Insert a new Z-CIM in the chain
Æ Name the server channel on the tiered Selection Menu of Z-CIM
Important: Please follow these guidelines to ensure that there is enough power to
support all Z-CIMs in a chain.
& For Paragon I UMT242, 442, 832 and 1664 with hardware III and Paragon II
firmware, and Paragon II matrix switches; in chains up to 20 individual Z-CIM units at
least one Z-CIM must be powered ON; In Z-CIMs chains from 21 to 42 Z-CIM units, at
least 15 Z-CIMs must be powered ON.
& At least 75% of UKVMSPD Z-CIMs in the chain must be powered ON in order for the
chain to be recognized by the Paragon unit.
Using a UKVMSPD Z-CIM with a Local PC
To grant specific access to a local PC from a certain User Station and to access the Paragon
system servers also, insert a UKVMSPD dual-access CIM between a User Station and a Base
Unit.
1. If you have not already done so, install your Paragon system as described in Chapter 2:
Installation.
2. Disconnect the cable that connects the User Station to the Base Unit from the Base Unit’s
user port.
3. Connect the free end of this cable to the UKVMSPD RJ45 port labeled “UTP OUT.”
4. Connect another CAT5e cable from the UKVMSPD RJ45 port labeled “UTP IN” to the Base
Unit’s user port (where you just disconnected the other cable).
5. Plug the UKVMSPD HD15 strand into the HD15 VGA video port of the server you want to
access. Plug the purple 6-pin mini-DIN keyboard strand into the server’s 6-pin mini-DIN
keyboard port. Plug the light green 6-pin mini-DIN strand into the server’s 6-pin mini-DIN
mouse port.
6. Plug in and power ON the server. If the UKVMSPD is installed and operating properly, the
UKVMSPD green LED will start blinking (once per second when the UKVMSPD is idle,
more quickly while data passes in either direction).
Once this installation is finished, activate Local PC Mode on the User Station:
1. Log on at the attached User Station.
2. Press the hot key (default: Scroll Lock) twice rapidly to activate the OSUI.
