P2CIM-AUSB-C
Cat5 cable
Paragon II switch (firmware version 4.3 or later)
P2-EUST/C
The maximum cable length between the reader-enabled CIM and the
Paragon switch to which it is directly connected CANNOT exceed 500
feet (152 m). A cable longer than 500 feet may result in the card's
data loss during the transmission.
If the path runs through the second- or even third-tier Paragon switches,
the firmware version of these upper tiers must also be 4.3 or later.
Otherwise, the card reader function in the path will not be enabled. For
information on connecting user stations, CIMs, servers and Paragon
switches, see Basic Installation (on page 11).
Note
s:
(1) A Paragon Main Unit is not used when in Direct Mode. In Direct Mode,
only P2-EUST/C and P2CIM-AUSB-C are required to activate the card
reader functionality. See User Station Direct Mode (on page 165) for
m
ore details.
(2) P2-HubPac does not support the card reader functionality at this time.
Therefore, make sure the servers that require the card reader
authentication are not connected to the Paragon switch via P2-HubPac.
Introduction to P2-EUST/C
This device is an enhanced user station with a built-in card reader.
Its functions are similar to those of P2-EUST and can work with Paragon
II that has been upgraded to version 4.3 or later. The internal card reader
allows users to insert their smart cards when prompted by the
authentication software installed in the servers, and deliver the
necessary authentication data to the server. The P2-EUST/C is
compatible with all CIMs that are compatible with the standard P2-EUST.
This allows for use of the P2-EUST/C in environments that also include
servers that do not require the card authentication.
