What is the Paragon II Hub-Pac Power up Sequence?
New Installs:

• All devices and targets must be powered off
• Connect CIMs to targets
• Connect CIMs to Hub-Pac
• Configure Hub-Pac to PII UMT (make topology connections with all devices off)
• Power up Targets
• Power up Hub-Pac (Power on one PII Hub-Pac at a time).
• Execute the 1st to 3rd tier power sequence with a partial reset on base after the system database has been loaded.
• If multiple base units are involved, execute partial reset on each base after the data base is loaded. The database is not completed loading if the LCD of the base UMT flashes "DB Sorting…" message.

• Make sure PII firmware versions are P2-3B1/ UST-1B9 or above.
• Make sure Hub-Pac is powered off
• Configure Hub-Pac to PII UMT (make topology connections with Hub-Pac off)
• Disconnect CIMs from UMT and execute a partial reset of all UMTs to clear the Paragon database of "ghost" names. (Will not affect user or system profiles).
• Connect CIMs to PII Hub-Pac
• Power on one PII Hub-Pac one at a time.
• Verify Target Status and accessibility from PII-UST.

How many users can a Hub-Pac support?
Regardless of whether the switch being used is Paragon II or Paragon, the number of Hub-Pac users can be 32 or 64. For UMT832, this represents 4 Hub-Pac user ports x 8 users per Paragon switch (8x4=32). For UMT1664, this represents 4 Hub-Pac user ports x 16 users per Paragon switch (4X16=64).

How many servers can be supported in a Hub-Pac configuration?
On Paragon UMT8 or Paragon II UMT832 matrix switches, a Hub-Pac represents 8 servers utilizing 8 channels. On the Paragon UMT1664 matrix switch, a Hub-Pac represents 16 servers or 16 channels.

Since 32 channels are available on Paragon UMT8 or Paragon II UMT832, up to 3 more Hub-Pacs can be added for a full 32 user by 32 server configuration. Since 64 channels are available on Paragon UMT1664 or Paragon II UMT1664, 3 more Hub-Pacs can be added for a full 64 user by 64 server configuration.

Can Paragon II CIMs be mixed in Paragon environments?
No - P2 CIMs can not be used in P1 HUBPAC8-RK configurations.

What firmware version is required on the Paragon II to work with the Paragon Manager?
You must have firmware version 3B 1 or higher on your Paragon II switch to communicate with the Paragon Manager.

How do I get the serial number of my P2 UST from the menu?
Press F8 on your keyboard to view the serial number and firmware version.

Will Paragon II work with my current Paragon installation?
Yes. The new Paragon switch is backwards compatible with older Paragon components. Please consult the Paragon II manual for configuration and compatibility guidelines.

I have Suns and/or Macs in addition to PCs. Can I access and control them all with Paragon II?
Yes. The Paragon II User Station has built-in ports for PS/2, Sun, or USB keyboards and mice. Use Raritan's SUN or Mac adapters to convert keyboard and video ports to PS/2 keyboard/mouse and VGA video.

I have a Digital Alpha running UNIX and want to use a standard PS/2 keyboard. How will that affect operation with my switch?
Merely connect a Raritan converter (AUKME) to any Alpha running UNIX and all computers will operate flawlessly with a standard PS/2 keyboard.

I have a serially controlled device (i.e. Unix server, hub). Can I use Paragon II to access and control this device?
Yes. Raritan's ASCII Terminal Converter (AUATC) adapter will convert the RS-232 connection to PS/2 and VGA video. Connect the AUATC to your serially controlled device, then connect to your Paragon II switch with UTP Cable for access up to 1000 feet.

What is "Integrated Power Management"?
Integrated Power Management is a single, consolidated view (and control of) Raritan Remote Power Control Units connected to Paragon II.

So I can access and control all my connected Power Units via the Paragon II OSD?
Yes! Paragon II lets you control power to any connected device, set security permissions on a per-outlet basis, recycle power to multi-power supply servers, and get status information from each connected strip.

I would like to eliminate all the cables between cascaded Paragon units. Can I do this?
Yes, with Paragon II you get exclusive stacking capability that allows you to increase port density to 128 ports per switch

Is the stacking cable that connects base and expansion units together common to all Paragon II switches?
Yes, the stacking cable is common to all Paragon II switches.

Will stacking use up my ports like cascading does?
No! You can stack Paragon II units with just a single cable! 100% non-blocked access without sacrificing server or user ports.

How many Paragon II switches can be stacked?
You can stack 4 P2-UMT832 switches (1 P2-UMT832M + 3 P2-UMT832S) and 2 P2-UMT1664 switches (1 P2-UMT1664M + 1 P2-UMT1664S).

Can you stack second and third tier units?
Yes. Please consult the Paragon II manual for configuration and compatibility guidelines.

What is the primary difference between Paragon and Paragon II?
Paragon II is the next generation of KVM switch. While it builds upon the original Paragon technology, it adds advanced features including stacking, integrated power management, network firmware upgrade capability and optional IP-access.
