Additinally, please nte the fllwing: If a UKVMSPD user has upgraded their Paragn II cmpnents t 4.4.1, they shuld rll back t 4.4. Prir releases are prvided alng with the current ne at http://www.raritan.cm/supprt/paragn-ii/. If a UKVMSPD user desires t upgrade t 4.4.1 and requires the use f Z-CIMs, they will need t replace them. The direct replacement fr the UKVMSPD is the P2ZCIM-PS2. Fr USB cnnectins, the P2ZCIM-USB is als available. Nte that replacements fr the UKVMSPD will be prvided under warranty nly if the custmer is required t upgrade t 4.4.1 in rder t fix a serius system issue. The UKVMSPD can cntinue t be used fr its lcal PC access feature, in which the CIM is cnnected t the I/O prts f a PC lcated near the Paragn user statin, thereby enabling access frm the user statin t bth the PC and the Paragn switch. The Paragn II Z-CIMs (P2ZCIM-PS2 and P2ZCIM-USB) d nt supprt the lcal PC feature. 2. Using Cmb Keybards: Many keybards sld tday have USB prts built int them, allwing fr the use f a variety f peripherals. In many cases, users have begun t utilize these USB prts fr the purpse f cnnecting a muse. It s imprtant t nte that the Paragn II user statin s USB prts may nly be used fr cnnecting ne keybard and ne muse. If a muse is cnnected t the keybard, the secnd USB prt n the user statin autmatically deactivates. In ther wrds, if the keybard and muse is cnnected thrugh ne USB prt, the user statin has reached its keybard/muse limit and cannt accept anther I/O device in the pen prt. Please see the updated user guide fr details n using this type f keybard/muse cnfiguratin (Chapter 5: Infrmatin abut Keybard, Muse and Vide). Paragn II 4.8 Release Ntes Page 6 f 6 April 25, 2011
