Figure 2 An Example PCCI Setup Using UST-IP
The following components make up a PCCI system configuration. Please note that the item
number reflects the figure on the previous page.
1. Paragon II Main Units (also known as Paragon II Main Switching Units) perform matrix
switching, and connect to targets. In the illustration, the unit is a model P2-UMT 1664.
Important: The line speed and duplex mode of Paragon II Main Units is 10Mbps
at half duplex. If your network components do not have an auto detect feature,
they must be set to 10Mbps half duplex.
2. Paragon II Stacking (S) Units (optional) are paired or stacked to a Main Unit and extend the
number of targets that can be connected. In the illustration, the P2-UMT-1664S is the stacked
unit for the P2-UMT-1664. Main and Stacking Units are linked via a SCSI connection; for
the 1664 model, there are two SCSI cable connections. Stacked, these two Paragon switches
can support a total of 128 targets. Each P2-UMT 1664 unit (main or stacking) has 64 channel
ports, which accept RJ45 connectors.
3. Paragon II Computer Interface Modules (CIMs) are cable connectors that connect
Paragon II units (both main and stacking) to targets, connecting to the channel port using a
Cat 5e UTP cable. The Cat 5e cable has RJ45 connectors on each end.
