Raritan PARAGON II Series User manual

Proven Paragon Analog Technology with Stacking,
Optional Integrated KVM-Over-IP Access and Superior
Management Capabilities
Paragon II, the industry's best stackable Cat5 KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) solution,
gives IT professionals the power to access and control servers and other network devices
anytime, anywhere. With Paragon II, you can stack up to 128 ports per switch and add
up to 10,000 ports via multi-dimensional expansion. Paragon II has superior KVM
switch technology that dramatically reduces equipment costs and optimizes space
utilization. What's more, this generation of Paragon provides the highest levels of
manageability, security and superior video quality to simplify the management of
business-critical data centers.
Innovative Modular Architecture
Paragon II distributes KVM switching and control functions across modular, intelligent
components:
Main Switching Unit - A secure, intelligent, non-blocked control unit that connects
users to servers. Its stackable architecture provides the industry's highest port density
making it ideal for large data centers with densely packed racks.
Stacking Unit - A cost-effective, space-saving expansion unit that allows you to easily
add up to 128 non-blocked ports per switch with 90% less cable than cascading.
Stacking units are compatible with Paragon II models UMT832M and UMT1664M.
These units:
³Reduce the burden of multiple cables between tiers.
³Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by more than 30%.
³Save up to one-third of rack space and HVAC resources.
User Station - Designed to fit conveniently under the user's monitor, the Paragon II
User Station includes an intuitive On-Screen User Interface (OSUI) for easy access to
attached servers.
³Connects to USB, Sun®and PS/2®.
Computer Interface Modules (CIMs) - Provide 'keep-alive' keyboard/mouse emulation
at the server. Just plug a CIM into a server's keyboard, monitor and mouse ports and
connect it to Paragon II with a single UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cable. New small and slim
Paragon II CIMs provide the added convenience of firmware upgradeability without
interrupting the installed configuration.
