Appendix B: Accessing a Paragon II from the KX III407KX III-to-KX III Paragon CIM GuidelinesThe following system configuration guidelines should be followed whenyou are using Paragon CIMs in a KX III-to-KX III configuration:Concurrent AccessBoth KX III KVM switches should be configured with the same policy forconcurrent access to targets - both PC-Share or both Private.If Private access to targets is required, both KVM switches must beconfigured accordingly:• From Security > Security Settings > Encryption & Share, set PCShare Mode to ‘Private’This guarantees that concurrent access to targets is prohibited, for alltargets by all user groups.The KX III allows for more granular control of concurrent access totargets on a per user group basis. This is done by setting the usergroup’s PC Share permissions. However, this is only enforced withinthe boundary of a KX III. User Group PC Share permissions must not berelied on if Privacy must be guaranteed when using theP2CIM-APS2DUAL or P2CIM-AUSBDUAL with the KX III.CIM Name UpdatesThe P2CIM-APS2 and P2CIM-AUSB names are stored within the CIM’smemory. There are two memory locations provided to accommodatethe Paragon naming convention (12 characters) and the KX III namingconvention (32 characters).When first connected to a KX III, the Paragon name will be retrieved frommemory and written into the CIM memory location used by KX III.Subsequent queries for the CIM name or updates to the CIM name fromthe KX III will be made to the memory location used by the KX III.Updates will not be made by the KX III to the memory location used byParagon II.When the CIM name is updated by one KX III, the other KX III will detectand retrieve the updated name on the next attempt to connect to thattarget. Until that time, the name will not be updated on the other KX III.Port Status and AvailabilityThe port status, displayed on the KX III Port Access page as either Up orDown, is updated to show whether the CIM is powered up and connectedto the KX III port.The port availability, as displayed on the KX III Port Access page as Idle,Busy or Connected, is only updated to reflect activity on a target that hasbeen initiated from that same KX III.
