Paragon II-ZCIM

Paragon II-ZCIM

Paragon II ZCIM allows you to connect up to 42 mixed platform PS/2®, Sun®, and USB® interfaces on a single Cat5 cable chain, using only one channel port on your Paragon II unit. This can help extend the distances from the main switching unit to the last P2ZCIM on the chain up to 1,000 feet.

The first Z-CIM is connected to a computer port on your Paragon II Main Switching or Stacking unit. Servers are linked one to the next using a Category 5 UTP cable. Users can access and control any server connected in the chain via the Paragon II on-screen menu. New servers can be added at any time without interrupting server operation.

What are Paragon II ZCIMs (P2ZCIMS)?

It supports up to 42 directly connected, multi-platform servers located up to 1000 feet away from the user. For a single user, up to 42 P2ZCIMs using standard based UTP Cat5 cable is allowed.


How do P2ZCIMs work?
P2ZCIMs are used in conjunction with Paragon II. Up to 42 ZCIMs to connect in a 'daisy-chain' to your server's keyboard, video and mouse ports. These signals are compressed and sent securely over a UTP Cat5 cable. Using the Paragon II User Station and UMT, an administrator has the ability to grow the chain and select between target server consoles.

P2ZCIMs can be purchased as easy starter kits as well as individually. A system administrator can purchase only the required amount of modules necessary for their immediate needs.


How easy is it to add servers with P2ZCIMs?
It's simply a matter of connecting additional P2ZCIMs to the additional server's keyboard, video and mouse port and connecting it into the cable daisy chain.


What interfaces does the P2ZCIMs support?
