What UTP cable does Raritan
recommend for use with Paragon
II?
Can I use standard Ethernet
(10BASE-T) cable?
Hot-key Functions - I don't want
to use the "scroll lock" to activate
hot-key. What are my options?
We have some mission critical
servers and there are occasions
when we may wish to disconnect
a server from the Raritan switch
and "hot-plug" a physical
keyboard and mouse to operate
the server. Is that possible?
Can I use a trackball keyboard?
My computer has USB
connectors. Can I connect it to a
Raritan KVM switch?

Paragon II will work with any
Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat 7 cable.
Paragon II uses a very
sophisticated circuit to
automatically adjust signal to
ensure the highest quality video
and enhance the user experience.
Further, Paragon II has a manual
adjustment for finer granularity in
video adjustment that no other
KVM manufacturer offers.
No. Standard Ethernet cable does
not have the necessary bandwidth
characteristics for transmitting
high-quality video over long
distances.
The hot-key activator can be
easily changed to a variety of
different keys. When in hot-key
mode, touch the desired new hot-
key activator followed by the
enter key.
Yes. Paragon II CIMs have "keep
alive" technology which allow
you to disconnect the switch
without losing keyboard and
mouse functionality. Simply
remove the UTP cable from the
Paragon II switch and connect
directly to the User Station for
"crash cart" access.
You can plug any PS/2 keyboard
in the keyboard user port of a
Raritan KVM switch.
Yes, with the Paragon II User
Station, you can connect a USB
keyboard or mouse. Paragon II
also has CIMs that connect to
USB servers (P2CIM-USB,
P2CIM-SUSB).
