Paragon Manager Overview
Paragon Manager, Raritan’s appliance management and configuration application, offers one
coordinated graphical user interface that displays Device, User, Log, and Outlet information for
your Paragon system. Standalone Paragon Manager is included with your Paragon II UMT, and
allows you to manage a single Paragon II unit, while PIISC Paragon Manager is included with
Raritan’s Paragon II System Controller, or PIISC. For users integrating Paragon II with a
CommandCenter device, PIISC Paragon Manager allows control of up to eight (8) Paragon units.
If working within the PIISC setup, we recommend you familiarize yourself by first reading the
Paragon II System Controller (PIISC) user manual for initial installation and configuration of
your Paragon II System Controller unit (this document is found on the User Manuals & Quick
Setup Guides CDROM included with your shipment, or can be downloaded from the Support
section of your local Raritan Website [in North or South America at:
http://www.raritan.com/support/sup_prdmanuals.aspx#p2sc
]; scroll down the page to the Paragon
II System Controller heading, click on it to expand it, and then click on the User Guide link).
