4. For each subsidiary Paragon switch you want to attach directly to the
Base Unit, connect Cat5 UTP cables from consecutive channel ports
on the Base Unit to the subsidiary Paragon switch's user ports.
5. If you are installing a third tier, connect Cat5 UTP cables from
consecutive channel ports on a second-tier Paragon switch to the
user ports on a third-tier Paragon switch. Repeat for all other
subsidiary switches in the third tier.

Base Unit. Check for loose connections and make sure you are using
good, intact Cat5 cables. (See Specifications (on page 185) for
