The device intended to upgrade must be connected to the PC that runs 
the Paragon Update utility. There are two types of connections 
depending on your device. 

 

Network connection: If your device comes with a LAN port, such as 
Paragon II Main Unit, upgrade it by connecting it to the network and 
assigning an IP address to it. However, for Paragon II Stacking Unit, 
it must be upgraded by connecting to the Main Unit which is 
connected to the network. 

 

RS-232 connection: For those devices without the network port, 
such as user stations, this is the only method to upgrade them. 
Connect the device to one of the serial ports of the PC that runs the 
Paragon Update utility via the RS-232 cable.
