Chapter 6: Configurations
The aim of the UMTM (Main) and UMTS (Stacking) units is to allow users to build the Paragon
system to include additional channel ports and the tiers up to three levels, so that more users and
channels can be configured to control more targets. The system does not need to be over-
redundant in accessibility, but administrators should consider the configurations illustrated in this
chapter. In more complex stacked Paragon setups, there are important guidelines about legal and
illegal device configurations that must be followed to ensure functionality.
Principles of Re-Connection
When a change is made to a connected tiered device, we recommended that power to all devices
is recycled, if possible. This includes the device where the connection is changed directly, as well
as all devices below it in the system architecture.
The sequence of power recycling should start from highest tiered device and end with the
Main base unit. For example, in a “Single Base” configuration (only one UMT Matrix Switch
as the base unit), if a connection change is made at a device on the third tier, the sequence of
power recycling should be as follows:
The third tier device with the changed connection
The second tier device connected to the third tier device
The base unit
