Guidelines for Multiple Base Configuration 
A multiple base configuration could be two-tier or three-tier configuration. 
It is composed of more than one Paragon Main Unit, serving as Base 
Units, and second-tier or even third-tier devices. 
Initialization 
 
After all devices have been connected, turn on the devices from 
UPPER tier to lower tier. For example, turn on the second-tier 
device(s) first and then the Base Units in a two-tier configuration. 
 
After initialization, each tiered device has an updated database. 
Guidelines for changing connections of tiered devices: 
Example A: Relocating a third-tier device with multiple second-tier 
connections (refer to red line in the diagram):
 
1.  Disconnect some or all of the user ports on an third-tier unit (UMT-3A) 
that connect to the channel ports of second-tier units (UMT-2A and 
UMT-2C) and re-connect the user ports to the channel ports of 
another second-tier unit (UMT-2B).
