h. Press F5 to return to the Administration Menu. Select Channel Configuration again.
Select a channel port that has been configured for the subsidiary Paragon switch you just
set up. Press G to activate a dedicated Channel Configuration menu for the subsidiary
Paragon switch.
i. Edit the names of all servers attached to this subsidiary Paragon switch. Each highlight
should turn green as you start typing. Press Enter when finished with each name. Press S
to save all of the new names.
j. Press F2 to access the dedicated Selection Menu for that subsidiary Paragon switch.
Verify that new names appear in green in the Selection Menu.
k. If you are configuring a second-tier subsidiary Paragon switch, and there are any third-
tier Paragon switches attached to it, repeat steps C through J for a third-tier path
configuration. Press S to save the configuration. Press F2 to activate the Selection menu
and verify that the third-tier Paragon switch is properly configured: select a channel port
for the second-tier path and press Enter, then a channel port for the third-tier path and
press Enter, and then a channel port for a server attached to the third-tier Paragon switch
and press Enter. If you can properly access and operate the chosen server, the third-tier
Paragon switch is properly installed.

second-tier Paragon switch.

the second-tier Paragon switch is properly configured: Select a channel port for the
second-tier path and press Enter, then a channel port for a server attached to the second-

server, the second-tier Paragon switch is properly installed.

Unit’s configuration as described in steps 6B through 6E of the section Installing a
Paragon S
ystem with a Single Matrix Switch, earlier in this chapter.
Important: If you rearrange a cascaded system or dismantle one and rebuild it
differently later, you must recycle power to each switch in the new cascade. A soft
reset allows each switch to retain all user and system profiles, and to auto-detect the
current status of its channel ports and user ports. Follow the installation steps in this
section to install the new cascade, but when you power on each switch (which must
be done in proper tier order, from upper tier to base tier), press FUNC on the unit’s
front panel until “Clear Database Hit Ent/ESC?” appears on the LCD panel. Press the
ENT and the ESC buttons sequentially to execute a partial reset on the database.
Please see the “Reset Unit” section in “Paragon II Front Panel Display and Controls” in
Chapter 2 for additional
information.
