Installing a Cascaded Paragon System
Paragon IIʹs channel port capacity can be expanded by installing a
cascade of Paragon matrix switches (Main Units). In a ʺtwo‐tieredʺ
cascaded system, one or more subsidiary Paragon switches are connected
to the channel ports of a Base Unit (ʺfirst‐tierʺ 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; only CIMs may be attached to the channel ports of
Paragon switches in the third tier.
