40 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 banner 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 off.
• 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 1) Power ON the third tier switches (if
a third tier exists), then 2) Power ON the second tier switches, and 3) Power ON the Paragon
II base unit. User Stations can be powered ON and OFF at any time as needed. Please note
that this order is the reverse of upgrading a cascaded configuration: when upgrading, first 1)
Power ON the base tier, then 2) Power ON the second tier, and 3) Power ON the third tier (if
a third tier exists). 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.
• 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 UMT database.
System Configuration
To set certain global parameters, select option 1, System Configuration, from the Administration
Menu and press ENTER.
1. Press the down-arrow or TAB key to move the highlight forward, or the up-arrow 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 or master Paragon II Base Unit. It is
important for Base Units in a cascaded system with multiple Base Units to have distinctive
names, so that users can tell them apart. (The system will assign each Base Unit the default
name “Paragon usersxchannel ports”: each P2-UMT242 will be named “Paragon 242, each
P2-UMT442 “Paragon 442,” etc.)
