A KVM System with Cascaded Paragon Switches
Paragon II's channel port capacity can be expanded by installing a
cascade of Paragon matrix switches (Main Units). In a "two-tiered"
cascaded system, one or more subsidiary Paragon switches are
connected to the channel ports of a Base Unit ("first-tier" Paragon switch).
If you fully populate a second tier, you can add a third tier by connecting
additional subsidiary Paragon switches to the channel ports of Paragon
switches in the second tier. Three tiers is the maximum depth of a
cascaded system, and only CIMs may be attached to the channel ports
of Paragon switches in the third tier.
