CHAPTER 2: OPERATION 21
6. Type the Security Group in the Security Group field.
7. Click OK to save the changes, or click Cancel to close the window without saving any
changes.
Note: Because the Power Strip cannot detect what device type is associated with a specific
outlet through the power cables, outlet associations must be created manually before an
outlet can indicate to what type of device it supplies power.
Power Strip Outlet Associations
You can assign specific devices to unassigned Power Strip Outlets from the Paragon Manager
interface.
1. Expand the Power Strip tree so you can see the outlet to which you plan to assign the selected
device.
2. Click a device in the Device panel and drag the Device icon to the desired outlet icon.
3. When you release the device, a confirm message box appears. Click Yes to associate Device
to this outlet or click No to cancel this action. You can now control the Device from the
Paragon OSUI.
Note 1: For devices with redundant power supplies, one device can be associated with up to
four outlets.
Note 2: Paragon Manager only allows you to configure the power strip association setting.
You cannot use it to control the associated power strip. To control the power strip, you must
use the Paragon OSUI. For more information, see Paragon II User Guide, which can be
downloaded from the Firmware and Documentation section of Raritan’s website:
