Can I restore my saved Paragon
Overview files on Paragon II? Yes, Paragon Manager can read
Paragon Overview files and
restore this information into a
Paragon II switch.
Does each unit have a network
port for firmware upgrades or just
the base? All Paragon II switches have a
network port for firmware
upgrades. Each unit can be
assigned an IP Address and is
recognized by the Paragon
Manager software via the
network.
Integrated Power Management 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.
Connecting Serial Devices 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.
Connecting Macs and SUN 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 another running
OpenVMS that use a special
LK111 or LK461 keyboard. How
will that affect operation with my
switch? The Alphas will operate
flawlessly. Raritan's emulation
incorporates unique functions to
support LK111 or LK461
keyboard running UNIX and
OpenVMS.
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.
