Chapter 5: Paragon II and Z-CIMs
Introduction
Z-CIMs (Computer Interface Modules) enable access and control of multiple servers from a Paragon User
Station. This is achieved using a chain-like server-to-server arrangement with Z-CIMs. Each Z-CIM is
connected to the keyboard, video, and mouse ports of each server and linked with standard Cat5 UTP cable.
Through this cable, they transmit keyboard, video, and mouse signals to the system.
There are two types of Z-CIMs that can be used with Paragon: UKVMSPD (and UKVMSC) and
P2ZCIMs
UKVMSPD (and UKVMSC) Z-CIMs
• Can be used on Paragon I and Paragon II
• Support PS2 only
• Support up to 42 units on a single Cat5 chain
• Span up to 1,000 feet (304 m.) from the user station to the last UKVMSPD (UKVMSC) on a
Cat5 chain
• Cannot be mixed on a Cat5 chain with P2ZCIMs
• UKVMSC features local KVM ports
P2ZCIMs
• For use on Paragon II
• Can be used on Paragon I HW3 (running Paragon II code)
• Support PS2 (P2ZCIM-PS2), USB (P2ZCIM-USB) and Sun (P2ZCIM-SUN)
• Support up to 42 units in any mixed arrangement on a Cat5 chain
• Span up to 1,000 feet (304 m.) from the user station to the last P2ZCIM on a Cat5 chain
• Cannot be mixed on a Cat5 chain with UVKMSPD (UKVMSC)
• P2ZCIM-USB can be used for either SUN USB and PC USB (controlled by a toggle switch on the
back of the unit)
• “L” models (e.g., P2ZCIM-PS2L) are available, which feature longer cables (36") for use with cable
management arms
