38 PARAGON ADMINISTRATOR’S INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE
Important: Prior to installation, all Paragon switch units and HubPac units must be powered
OFF. Computers and User Stations (UST1s) to be connected can be powered ON.
Connect one HubPac to a Paragon Switch model UMT8, creating a 32 user by 8 server
configuration:
1. Attach server(s), via CIM, to HubPac.
a. Connect CIM to server. Please refer to “Specifics for Installation of CIM” on
page 87 for more information.
b. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to RJ45 port on CIM.
c. Connect the other end of cable to the RJ45 1-IN port on back of HubPac.
d. Power ON server.
e. Repeat above steps to connect the remaining servers, connecting the Category
5e UTP cable to the HubPac at the RJ45 2-IN, 3-IN, 4-IN, 5-IN, 6-IN, 7-IN,
and 8-IN port for each consecutive server (2 through 8) added.
Note: Up to 8 servers can be connected to one HubPac. Each 5-port cluster on the
HubPac represents one server connection, with four associated HubPac user ports.
When each HubPac user port in a cluster is attached to a separate Paragon switch, 32
users (4 HubPac user ports x 8 users per Paragon switch) can have access to each
server.
2. Connect HubPac to each Paragon Matrix Switch by repeating all of the following steps for each 5-
port cluster on HubPac:
a. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to the RJ45 X-1 port on back of HubPac.
b. Connect the other end of the cable to channel port # X on the back of Paragon Matrix Switch
number 1.
c. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to the RJ45 X-2 port on back of HubPac.
d. Connect the other end of the cable to channel port # X on the back of Paragon Matrix Switch
number 2.
e. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to the RJ45 X-3 port on back of HubPac.
f. Connect the other end of the cable to channel port # X on the back of Paragon Matrix Switch
number 3.
g. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to the RJ45 X-4 port on back of HubPac.
h. Connect the other end of the cable to channel port # X on the back of Paragon Matrix Switch
number 4.
Note: There are 8 five port clusters on the HubPac. For each cluster the number in
front of the RJ45 IN port represents the cluster number. For example, cluster 1’s first
RJ45 port is 1 IN, cluster 2’s is 2 IN, etc. In the instructions below, “X” represents the
cluster number (1 through 8).
3. Connect power cord to back of HubPac and power ON HubPac
4. A HubPac represents 8 servers, and utilizes 8 channels on Paragon Matrix Switch connected.
Since 32 channels are available on Paragon Matrix Switch model UMT8, up to 3 more HubPacs
can be added for a full 32 user by 32 server configuration. Follow Steps 1, step 2, and step 3 above
for each additional HubPac to be added.
5. Power ON each of the Paragon Matrix Switches.
