STEP (B): Associate Router Ports with Paragon Ports in Paragon 
Manager 
The router directs audio/video signals from specified audio/video sources 
to specified audio/video destinations according to the router association 
data in Paragon Manager. The router association data, which is created 
using Paragon Manager 2.0.3 or later, associates Paragon's channel and 
user ports with the router's source and destination ports. 
Depending on whether you have created the router association data for 
the connected Paragon switch, you can either create or import the 
association data in Paragon Manager. This section outlines general 
procedure to create or retrieve the data. For detailed information, see 
Paragon Manager help or User Guide, which can be downloaded from 
the 
Raritan website
If you haven't installed Paragon Manager, first see 
Installing Paragon 
Manager
 
To create the router association data 
1.  Launch Paragon Manager on a client PC and connect it to the 
Paragon switch where you want to enable the audio/video routing 
function. 
2.  Specify the router by choosing Router > Configure Routers
3.  Associate Paragon channel ports with the router's source ports by 
choosing Router > Configure Servers. A channel port can be 
associated with up to 8 source ports. 
4.  Associate Paragon user ports with the router's destination ports by 
choosing Router > Configure User Station. A user port can be 
associated with up to 8 destination ports. 
5.  Save the router association data as an XML file by choosing Router 
Export Router Configuration
Important: If you do not save the router association data by exporting 
it, the data is lost when you quit Paragon Manager or disconnect the 
Paragon system. There is no other way to retrieve the data but to 
create it all over again. 
 
To import the router association data 
1.  Launch Paragon Manager on a client PC and connect it to the 
Paragon switch where you want to enable the audio/video routing 
function. 
2.  Import existing router association data by choosing Router > Import 
Router Configuration
