66 PARAGON II USER GUIDE
Guidelines for System Configuration
• Only one user should attempt to modify/update the System Administration Menu at one time
(especially the User Configuration and Channel Configuration options).
• Z-CIMs should be added one at a time to a Z-CIM chain. The Administrator should read from
message bar that the database has been completely updated before adding a new Z-CIM.
• If updating the system is necessary at Installation, make certain all users have logged out.
• When powering on
existing stable configurations (i.e., if you are NOT replacing or adding
switches and NOT swapping the order of switches) or when you are Power Cycling
a
cascaded configuration, Raritan recommends that you c Power on the
THIRD TIER switches
(if a third tier exists), then d Power on the
SECOND TIER switches, and e Power on the
Paragon II
BASE TIER. User stations can be powered on and off at any time as needed.
For configurations where switches are added, replaced, or swapped (in order)
, we recommend
powering on starting
FROM THE THIRD TIER, moving to the second tier, and then the base tier,
and in addition, performing a partial reset of the database on the impacted switches. For
example, if you swap the switches connected to the base tier, perform the partial reset on the
base tier. If you swap the switches connected to the second tier, perform the partial reset from
the second tier to the base tier.
• When naming or renaming a CIM, switch to that CIM to activate it and to ensure the new
name is stored or updated in the Paragon switch’s database.
System Configuration
To set certain global parameters, select option 1, System Configuration, from the Administration
Menu and press Enter.
1. Press the È or TAB key to move the highlight forward, or the Ç or SHIFT + TAB to move
the highlight backward to a desired field. Press Enter to edit the field. The highlighted area
will turn green. Some fields have character or numeric values you can type in; others have
values you can toggle between with the arrow keys. When editing is complete, either press
Enter followed by S to save your changes, or press Esc to abort the changes and continue
using the previous settings.

• Device ID: Type in the desired name for the single Paragon switch or Base Unit. It is
important for Paragon switches in a “cascaded system with multiple matrix switches” to have
distinctive names, so that users can tell them apart. (The system will assign each switch the
default name “Paragon ‘user ports’‘channel ports’”: each P2-UMT242 will be named
“Paragon 242, each P2-UMT442 “Paragon 442,” etc.)
