Questions Answers
General Questions
What is the primary
difference between ParagonII
and Paragon II Release 4.1?
Paragon II R4.1 builds upon the original Paragon II technology, adding
advanced features including enhanced video with both automatic and
manual skew compensation, ghosting, video redirect, Pinnacle Fast
Action Keyboard (FAK) support and usability features.
Do I have to adjust video
settings every time I log in?
No, the Paragon II R4.1 will retain the previous video settings. If the new
P2CIMs with automatic skew compensation support are deployed, the
video will be automatically adjusted. The user will not have to manually
adjust the video clarity for each channel, saving time during product
installations
Will the Paragon II switch
(R4.1) work with my current
User Station and CIMs?
Yes, the Paragon II switch (P2-UMT) switch is backwards compatible
with older Paragon components.
Will my existing User Station
work with the P2-UMT (R4.1)
and the Enhanced
User Station?
Yes, users can continue using their existing User Station (P2-UST) with
the P2-UMT and Enhanced User Station (P2-EUST). The P2-UMT
simultaneously operates with P2-UST and the P2-EUST. However, only
those users with P2-EUST, accessing servers with the new P2CIMs, will
have use of automatic skew compensation
What cable lengths does
Raritan recommend for
optimal video quality?
The maximum cable communication path from P2-UST to P2-UMT to
P2CIM is limited to 300 meters. The video quality is optimal when cable
length between P2-UMT and P2CIM is less than 30 meters, and very
good at less than 150 meters.
The P2-EUST supports resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at distances
greater than 213 meters, and 1280 x 1024 at distances up to 304 meters;
both at refresh rates of 60 Hz, 75 Hz and 85 Hz.
Will both the P2-UST and
P2-EUST support the
Pinnacle Fast Action
Keyboard?
Yes, both the P2-UST and P2-EUST, with an appropriate firmware
upgrade, will support the Pinnacle Fast Action Keyboard.
What is ghosting? “Ghosts” describe the port names of the CIMs that may remain on their
channel ports after the CIMs have been disconnected; these records
appear in black on the OSD of the local user port, or are marked as
inactive in other Raritan interfaces that work with Paragon II. In R4.1,
“Ghosting” support allows administrators to elect to either keep or delete
these “ghost” records on any given system.
